"You are welcome. I must now return to my ship."
He drops the salute and begins to turn around

The general returns to his duties. Over the coming days more generators are built and installed, and the defenses of the Reich are improved quite a bit, thanks to the Infinite Dominion.

"Ah, so very close to us, speaking in galactic terms. Very nice."
Van der Heide nods, and smiles slightly.
"Yes, I do think zhat a military alliance would be very much feasable and practical. Do you have a treaty prepared for zhe alliance?"

"Yes, we do"
Elrot slides the treaty over, (it is the one we discussed) and signs at the bottom, as the presiding ambassador.

On the outskirts of the Neu-Baden sector a bright flash heralded the warp of a ship, it was small being naught but 850 meters long and upon its hull was a paint scheme of brilliant burgundy and gold with grey accents.

Soon after arriving the ship broadcast a message to the nearest GSR boarder station.

Within the message a person known as "Burke" told that he was an ambassador and requested to establish diplomatic talks with the GSR government, additionally this "Burke" requested this first interaction to be kept quiet However, what was of particular note was that, Burke never mentioned the nation he was the ambassador too...

After some very confused comms officers compiled a report of the message and brought it to the local station garrison commander, he decided that this would either be a waste of time or something very important.. Since he did not want to waste the time of High Command, but also feared the repercussions, should it be an important meeting, he first opens himself several beers to think more clearly.. and then decides to personally investigate the matter instead of sending an ambassador, keeping the whole thing as a local matter.. for now.

About half a day passes before there is a return message, then a short transmission is sent on a little used frequency to the small ship.
//Transmission: Local Code//
"Zhis is zhe commander of zhe local garrison. A ship vill be sent out to meet you vhere you are at zhe moment. Do not power up your weapons, if you do, ve will open fire, since zhis whole situation seems... very suspicious."
...
"Vhich nation do you represent?"
//Transmission End//

A singular destroyer is dispatched and moving out of the gate, making its way towards the burguny and gold ship..

Admiral van der Heide reads through it and adds the German Space Regime's side, then also signs the treaty at the bottom, nodding satisfied.
"Great. New allies are few and far inbetween zhese days."
He puts out his hand for a handshake and smiles warmly.
"If you are under attack at any point, give us a word and ve will see vhat ve can do."

ZendikaroftheWest

"Same with us."

He nods and readies to leave.
"Unless zhere is anything else ve can do to help you, I should return to my duties."
His soldiers pick up their things.

"No, not really. However, i ask you to open this gate and dispell all interdiction systems around the gate for three minutes, just as we leave. We will begin the exchange then. After that, when we send the code word "Donkeyballs" you will dispell the interdiction around your capital for 30 seconds. The...technology will appear then."

boombox

ZendikaroftheWest
"Uh."
He steps backwards a bit, gesturing with his hand, his soldiert take their weapons up, apparently to leave.
"I am an admiral, I do not have zhe authority to dispell any interdiction systems or open any gates. If you wish to import anything into zhe Reich, it vill have to go through customs, be zhat technology or anyzhing else."
...
"Also, Donkeyballs? Really?"
He looks at the ambassador questioningly.
"And zhe interdiction around zhe capital is somezhing zhat is controlled from within zhe capital, for very good reasons. So zhat rogue admirals for example cannot switch it off."

"No matter, that was a test for you. Anyway, we may meet again. Farewell."
(plus it was a expanse reference)

ZendikaroftheWest
"uhm. Alright. Have a nice rest of zhe day."
He and his men leave and leave the ambassador and his men behind to work on their own things, then leaves on his ship.

After he boards and takes off, one last message is sent.
"We have something to show you."
Suddenly, a dimensional rift opens, and what appears to be a submarine surfaces.

(Sorry for the wait, i completely missed this post)

Admiral van der Heide looks interested out of the window.
"Vhat is zhat? It seems to resemble a water-borne submarine in form, but it's drifting in space.."

He turns to the ambassador, looking for answers.

ZendikaroftheWest

"This, my friends, is the dimensional submarine. Uses..."
He stops and then thinks, considering.
"Would you mind sending your guards out? I do not want to risk a possible security risk."

boombox

ZendikaroftheWest
Van der Heide considers for a moment the possible security risk, but then nods slightly, gesturing his guards to wait on the other side of the doors, keeping an unreadable face of the situation. His arms are idly behind his back as he leans against a wall, nodding to the ambassador to proceed.
"Alright. Zhey vill not hear a thing, Ich am ready."

As the admiral dismisses his guards, so does Elrot.
"Right. So the submarine is powered by a matter-antimatter flux drive, as well as normal Geshtam drives. The flux drive allows it to phase into a sort of "Between" an inert dimension between matter and antimatter. Due to its inert nature, it is impossible to activate power generation within the dimension, and so it must rely on batteries for propulsion, which is done with two propellers, taking advantage of the sea-like state of the between. To leave this dimension, one simply needs to rise to the "Surface" which will then spit them back into normal space."

"Interesting. Ve are developing new technologies ourselves in zhis field, and are currently in zhe phase of... field testing."
He nods.
"Your technology is highly impressive. Vould zhere be a chance for some of our scientists to take a look at zhe dimension-transporting technology of yours?"

ZendikaroftheWest

''Perhaps, but i do not feel safe transferring it here, out in open space.

boombox

ZendikaroftheWest
He nods.
"Vhould it calm your nerves, were you to transfer it inside the Reich's borders?"
Looking outside towards the ship, Van der Heide musters the vessel.
"Our engineers vould need but an hour or two of access to zhe ship to get an understanding of it."

ZendikaroftheWest

"That would be preferable. In fact, I am authorised to hand it over to you, for use as a prototype in constructing other submarines."
