3 escorts meet the corvette and hail it to follow them to a station for docking

ONI
The corvette lazily approaches and follows the codking instructions. Once the process is over, they await inspection.

    Romando07 The stations docking master awaits at the corvettes docking ramp and asks the ships captain in an authoritative tone " permission to come aboard for inspection?"

    ONI
    There are a few moments of silence before the answer comes :

    "You have been granted permission to board and inspect. Doors are opened."

    With that, a nearby door from what looked like perfectly blended side of the corvette opens, and a ramp extends towards the inspector.

      Romando07 The inspector trailed by 2 UNSC marines (unarmed) carrying scanners, while the docking master pulls out a pen clicks the top and begins walking around the ship, taking notes on his clipboard while the 2 marines scan for hidden compartments and such.

      The Docking Master turns to the ships captain, and asks him to state thier name for the record.

      ONI
      "My name is captain Tarik." he says in official voice. He appears to be a man in white-gold uniform with a little star badge on his chest.

      Romando07 25 minutes later, the corvette is finished inspection. The docking master thanks Captain Tarik for his cooperation and asks if they need supplies and fuel.

      ONI
      "We are in no need of supplies or fuel thank you. I was sent on a diplomatic mission to establish contact and potential treaties. May I speak with someone who has the authority?"

        Romando07 "Right this way Captain, we have a dropship ready to take you to the surface"

        They follow the Docking Master to a small dropship hangar to find a freshly painted and scrubbed pelican waiting for them. The 70mm swivel nose gun has been removed and the dropships wings missile mounts are empty.

        ONI
        Tarik enters the dropship without questions and waits.

          Romando07 "Welcome aboard Cpatain", the pilot exclaims "Im Warrent Officer Ryan Mckay and ill be taking you to the surface" the pilot turns around in his seat and starts flipping control switches and buttons. The captsin notices on the back of his flight helmet a sticker that reads stop screaming im scared too. With a sudden hiss the dropships rear door closes and the pilot awaits for the all clear to depart.

          "Docking station to Greenflight, permision to depart"

          The pilot responds " acknowledged, departing now"

          "Captain sir this could be a wild ride so hold on to your potatoes"

          The dropship speeds out of the hanger, initiates a slight roll towards the planet, passing freighters and warships alike.

          ONI
          The captain says nothing and doesnt look too disturbed by the flight, but he is however holding tight to his seat while observing the ship.

            Romando07

            25 minutes later, they land in front of what appears to be a government building from the view of the dropships main windscreen.

            The pilot, unseals the hatch with another hiss, and as the ramp falls he spys 4 honour guards awaiting to take him to the government office.

            Once the captain decends from the craft the hatch is resealed and the dropship ready to take off.

            ONI
            The captain looks around to see what this planet is like and follows the honourary escort.

              Romando07 they arrive just a few feet from the main doors where they are greeted by the Prime Minister. "Welcome captain, hopefully the flight down wasn't too rough. We will be meeting in my private study to discuss whats needed"

              ONI
              "Greetings."
              The captain replies in his formal tone and nods.

                Romando07 they reach the study and the Captain finds a fire going and fresh coffee and desserts on a tray with the PMs desk covered in papers with doodles which seem to be done by children along with photos of beaming kids and himself along with a somewhat eldery woman.

                The captain intrigued by this asks "what's all this about"

                The PM replies with "ah, drawings made by my grandchildren, such talented artists"
                He then walks over and picks up the photo of him and the woman, "this here is my wife, i wouldnt trade her for anything. We complete eachother"

                "Now lets get to business, what are you here to discuss"

                ONI
                "I am here to discuss potential treaties between us. My name is Tarik and I speak in the name of IMG. I believe I have something, a proposal, that can benefit us both. Would you like to hear more?"

                  Romando07 " Yes I would, so lets discuss this then, sit down and relax"

                  "We have anything you might need, from ores, exotic food, fine goods, art, carpentry, building materials, anything in the entertainment industries, medical equipment and even armors, be it for ships or personal armors. But perhaps most importantly, we have more than enough to pay for anything we might wish, and as such I believe its in our interests to seek closer relations as we build trust that will proppel our people forwards. Some of the things we want include availability to your markets, under your regulations if needed, allowance of passage, unrestricted movement in public spaces, acknowledgment of our treaty, rights to participate in any and all activities that non-citizens are allowed, right to fair trial or equivalent there of in your law and outlawing discrimination. In return you will get acces to all goods we think suit you the best, you can certainly expect a boom in economy while doing buesiness with us and you may ask for add-ons or special, seperate treaties that are good for both of us. I assure you that we have our customers well-being always in mind and that we condemn fraud and other crimes. We dont ask for any exceptions from your law, as everyone has to follow rules in their territory, so we will follow in yours.
                  I think that sounds more than fair. Do you agree?"
