"Ma'am I'm not quite sure I understand. Why would you gift us a bomb?"

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"No....what?"
Dasha almost choke on her hot coca. after spending a few moments recovering, she lean back and talk.
"This is a deposition for my successors, in the price of having them do one of your bidding. Is there any problem with that?"

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
"Sorry just safety procedures. I'm afraid that if it is capable of being a biological bomb I cannot bring it onto Anrillia. Are we allowed to reverse engineer it?"

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"um...the box is made out of a dark dwarf's core, and requires DNA of either me, or the designated successors to open it, so...no?"
Dasha thinks for a moment, while taking yet another sip.
"If you insist, sure, just don't break anything."

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
”Very well. Oh by the way, are you capable of producing tea?”

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"......well I haven't got it just yet..."
Dasha produces a glowing chess piece, the chess piece of "King" to be precise, and gently wave with it.
"But if I have permission, sure, I can make tea."

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
”Oh I was just asking for a friend. Well I suppose I could give this item to a directorate representative.”

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"Hmm..."
Dasha looks slightly disappointed when she make the chess piece disappear in a gentle spark of light. She also finish the rest of her cup and store it back into the suitcase.
"Any following procedures after this? and do I get to meet the representative as well?"

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
”If you wish I could personally take you to Anrillia. Though you cannot bring your ship.”

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"That would be perfect."
Dasha whip out a pda, but stopped before typing.
"Should I arrange my own transport or you got that covered already?"

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
”Your own transport?” he says startled, “I’m afraid you need my company for the entire trip unless you want ships inserted into your body. I can still offer you complete privacy on the same ship if that’s what you’re seeking.”

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"...eh"
Dasha simply shrugs.
"I meant taxi service from a third party, but if you got that arranged already, sure thing."

Dumb
He clicked some buttons on his holoscreen to call his ship crew. "Taxis don't go here anyways, this is a military FTL chokepoint. Now come with me to hangar..." he glances at his holoscreen, "four." He stands up.

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"aye aye."
Dasha rise up and stand next to him, awaiting movements to follow.

Dumb
He exits the room and goes the opposite way from that which they came from down the well-lit corridor. He takes an elevator just like the one they took up to get there and arrived at the correct floor. They walk through another corridor and arrive at the spacious hangar 4. This hangar was full of military fighters, bombers, attackers and drones. Their canopies were open and crew were servicing them. Some ships undergoing maintenance had been covered up by sheets to not reveal the classified internals of the military vehicles to Dasha. Standing on a pad what was probably meant for two larger fighters, a fine diplomatic shuttle stood with its ramp down.
"The HMS Full Chorus," he said admiring its dormant sleek engines as he walked up the ramp, "not to brag, but this is the newest model of diplomatic shuttle designed for the future infrastructural changes. You will be one of the first non-british government officials to travel in such a vessel."

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
Dasha followed him along the way, slightly disappointed by the covered internals but didn't say a word about it anyway. As she arrives at the pad with the shuttle, she tap the ramp twice with her shoes before stepping up, maintaining her position of slightly behind Ontaria.
"My pleasure....I suppose?"
With her "powers", Dasha don't quite get the point of adopting altered shapes just to have a slight boost from the original design, and is more fond of trying out bizarre new concepts that....most of the time don't even makes any sense nor do anything. Nonetheless, she is still quite intrigued by what this newly encountered nation has in their pocket, as she take note in her mind in regards to the details that she sees.
"Anything fancy about this craft that you can tell me about?"

The ships interior was decorated with wood, shiny metals and ornaments.
”I’m afraid I might get carried away but I suppose I can restrain myself. Finite decorations, alkaraxian leather for the seats. The beds are the same manufacturer and quality of that in the palace building. Quieter and smoother torch drive and fusion reactor is another welcome addition.” as the ship took of they couldn’t feel it. They wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for the windows. ”and the FOOD. My goodness, the things they give me. The warp drive is of the newest generation. This ship is faster than navy ships.” they reached the front. The opened the door to the cockpit and told his two pilots to set course for Anrillia.
Space flashed as they entered warp space and the next second they were traveling through the endless blue tunnel.

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"hmm..."
Not quite impressed by the mentioning of aesthetic materials, Dasha slightly frowns, but then immediately lights back up upon the mentioning of the warp drive.
"Oooh warp, this is my first time warping through space then... may i enquire what principles it works on, bubbles or tunnels?"

KrankysFirebrand48

Dumb
”The ship is now traveling through another dimension where the laws of physics are altered, mainly the distance here is shorter relative to realspace. Warp space appears as a tunnel as we observe the hole we have punched through the dimension as we’re traveling go through it. The hole is connected to realspace in a way. It is why we’re not currently compressed and why light can travel through the tunnel like normal, mostly. It is also the reason why traveling distance in warp space will travel in realspace aswell, and additionally it is why interdiction that only exists in realspace could pull us out. Then there’s the link, but that’s not important. Atleast before we weaponize it.”

Dumb

KrankysFirebrand48
"...To be honest, i thought you would probably either avoid it using "military secrets" or just answer plainly on either bubbles or tunnels..."
To say the least, the explanation has proven to Dasha that GBE is actually being sincere towards the relationship, and in return, she shall do the same as well...
"Well then...in exchange, wanna know what this is?"
Once again, the glowing chess piece appears in Dasha's hand, filling the interior of the craft with an eerie yet fuzzy atmosphere. She gently waves it around, light traces remain in the air where the piece had passed, and making the environment somewhat...festive, at least in terms of how normal Christmas goes.

”Some ancient game piece? As long as it’s a bomb I don’t mind.” he laughs.
