An Invitation of Peace From the Unity

Akio winced a little, having not gotten used to telepathy, but regardless understood what was "said" clear enough.
their suits, had been outfitted with microphones and small speakers, to negate the effects of the clothing on speech.

"well, hello! good to meet you Zymun, if you could point us in the right direction we will head to the confrence room immidiately"

meanwhile the tenth ship manages to get the landing gear fixed, in doing so locking it in an extended position, but regardless lands with little difficulty.

The alien in the centre,Discipula Zymun,tilted his head,and made an odd grating noise in realspace; He used his unseen mouth. However,his reply was psychic,as before.

"While peace is built upon a basis of trust,this is still a military vessel,the flagship of one of our Admirals. As such,I am afraid that you must remain in my escort at all times,due to the sensitive nature of the work carried out aboard this vessel. Further,there is work being carried out on this vessel to complete its transition; I'm certain you're aware of the new coat of paint,the least of such tasks. However,there are other delegates; Let us collect them,then make our way to the conference room."

Zymun glanced at the other ships in the hanger,and his shoulders visibly sagged.

"I was hoping for more,though. Are the peoples of the Milky Way truly that hateful and suspicious of us?"

Zymun leads Ambassador Akio's party to Ambassador Hefox's party. The two escorting soldiers snap smart salutes to their guests,and Discipula Zymun bows once more.

"Welcome to the Clear Vision,Ambassador Hefox. Sadly,our mouths are ill-suited to speaking your tongue,and I pray your forgiveness for imposing telepathy upon you. I am Discipula Zymun,and if you will come with us,we will collect the remaining delegations,and make our way to the conference room."

With a gesture to follow,Discipula Zymun proceeded to the New Hegemony vessel. Just like before,the soldiers salute the delegation,while Zymun bows.

"I welcome you aboard the Clear Vision,friends from Origin."

This time,the alien spoke its native tongue,using its own mouth. The New Hegemony party would understand completely,but not the attendant Milky Way locals. The language sounded like it was composed of rapid,harsh syllables,and many might compare it to the sound of sawing through sheetmetal.

"Once the final party boards,we will retire to the conference room. Please,come with me."

With a gesture,Discipula Zymun leads the party to where the Darkest Shadow delegation was beginning to land.

(But... Vectors are all over basic physics classes?)

The ZIE shuttle lands on the hangar, Hefox, leave the shuttle, using his suit, white with a yellow stripe head to feet, with the ZIE emblem made in yellow on his right shoulder, he does a small sign with his hand as a greeting, with his vocal communicator, made to compensate for the suit cover his mounth, he greets them.

"Hello there!"

A Hegemony Drop ship can be seen in the hangar. The Ambassador wearing an eerily similar suit to the Unity workers, of course it's in Hegemony colors, flanking him are four Fleryg Soldiers, but they seem a lot buffer than normal Fleryg soldiers, their Combat Suits sharing the green tint that the Drop Ship has.

Palemoon speaks with confidence.
"Our ships will not need assistance. We thank you for this offer."
(The ships aren't that big, I think they all (Except of obsidian?) fit into the normal grid size, if not, they're close to it)
The ships' thrusters seem to be almost inactive, But the ships slowly follow the vector.
(I had to look up the definition of vector for this....)

...as Discipula Zymun heads to the landing spot of the Darkest Shadow delegation he got message that a transmission came in from an outward source, the contents were the following, as only the audio played he lacked visuals but he could tell that it was rather deep, most likely male, voice...
/Transmission Start/
Greetings Unity, Doran Corvus, TATC, as representative of the TATC politics and proxy of the TMD, I need to tell you that we are not allowed to attend to extended meetings as yours is one, as it goes against certain TATC personnel rules, and some of the ITC regulations, however, I offer our greetings in the name of both factions and affirm our neutrality in most of this universes matters.
We thank you for your understanding.
/Transmission End/

As the Ships land, They create little noise, Almost completely silent. Out of the Chariot comes Commanders Palemoon and Jaystar, They are wearing Light power armor with what seems to be a an open helmet with an Energy field, Both Jaystar and Palemoon have what look like a gauntlet on their Right paws, Their sidearm, Four Guards In Mid-Level Power armor exit as well, Each wearing Two gauntlets, One of which looks different..
Palemoon Seems calm...
"Hello!"
Jaystar waves shyly..
(I'm assuming that English.. (Or technically Latin for Palemoon) is understood here?)

Riddle78

(I went in order. Just waiting for your delegation to land.)

"I thank you for your message,Doran Corvus. If it would be to your liking,we can arrange a means of building relations at a later time that would be more appropriate to your own laws and regulations. Until then,the Unity will not instigate hostile action with your people,though please be aware that we will move to assist any allies we might obtain. All who are currently attending are considered allies as a gesture of goodwill,for clarification's sake."

Zymun paused for a moment,parsing his thoughts.

"...I have just realized that that can be construed as a threat,which was not my intention. In any case,thank you,and I look forward to a mutual peace in our futures."

(For telepathy,and passive mind reading,thought is a universal language understood by the Unity. Yes,they casually invade the minds of everybody present,for the sake of smooth communication.)

The soldiers,one final time,snap off smart salutes to the alien delegation,just as Discipula Zymun bowed his ninety degree bow. Straightening himself,he spread his arms wide in welcome.

"Welcome to the Clear Vision. Unfortunately,our mouths are ill-suited to speaking most languages of the galaxy,and we've yet to truly master any of them. I pray you will forgive our use of telepathy as a substitute. We are all assembled; Please,follow me to the conference room. Please,mind the crew as they carry out their duties."

With that,the Discipula lead his guests to one of the many doors on the far side of the hangar,while deck crews swarmed over the alien ships to secure them,and soldiers stood sentry outside them. The door opened in silence,revealing a relatively small room,with a door on the far side. An airlock. Zymun ushered them inside,and gestured to the benches which lined the walls. Curiously,there wasn't a single computer,display screen,or even electrical light fixture to be seen in the ship,so far; All of the light came from odd hovering light sources set into the floor and ceiling.

"Please,take a seat,if it would be comfortable for you to do so. It will take me some time to cycle the airlock."

With a nod,Zymun snapped a look to a pair of sealed ports above the door deeper into the ship. They opened with a hiss of rushing atmosphere. A few minutes later,Zymun nodded,closing the ports,and opening the door deeper into the ship.

"If the New Hegemony delegation is so inclined,they may now remove their vacuum suits."

Zymun removed his own vacuum suit,coming off in pieces. He stored the pieces in a nearby storage container,and turned to address his guests.

The alien was humanoid in shape,as evidenced by the vacuum suit,but now unburdened of the suit,his true appearance was visible to all observers. His skin was the colour of ash; An off-white grey. His entire body was long and thin,limbs included,with hands ending in four digits. His neck was long,and hooked. The head was long,and home to a short,yet broad,beak. He beheld his visitors with two glowing amber eyes,arranged in triads. In place of hair,he instead had what appeared to be a mess of tentacles growing from the top of his head,adorned with glittering brass bands. He wore a sleeveless robe of murex purple,with a black hem. A white sash was draped from his left shoulder to his right hip,secured in place with a gold-and-teal pin. At his right hip was a scabbard,containing a knife with a pronounced crossguard,a knuckle guard,a nagel,a blade trap,and an undulating blade. With the polished brass that dominated the hilt,guard,pommel,and scabbard,it was obviously a symbol of some sort.

"Whenever you are ready."

The corridor behind the Discipula was made of immaculate metal; The floor was a textured black surface,to ensure grip,while the walls and ceiling were white. The corners were tapered,and homes to grates,revealing ducts and pipes,but not a single wire. There were purple decals at assorted places,usually by doors.

(I'm assuming its safe to take off armor then? )

Akio and his guards used the time to check their shield belts
although, two started to talk to eachother in a regional Tau-Language
however, it is possible that via telepathy they could know what was said:

"so you really think they operate this thing with magic?"

"Nah, how could they? this thing Must run of power somehow."

(ok.. Then no XD )
Palemoon and Jaystar take a seat as asked, They're armor seems light enough to be comfortable. Small Slots on the sides of the helmet Open up, Releasing small amounts of carbon dioxide, Its a filter.
(Not enough Carbon dioxide to be harmful to Anything, Most of it was recycled back into the armor)

"Cutting it close,are we? We've yet to truly begin. Welcome to the Clear Vision. We're delivering an approach vector to your ships,now. Please.refrain from hostilities while in the system; We're aware of your current relationship with the New Hegemony. Something we hope to help smooth over. No one has to die. Unfortunately,the welcome party has already cycled the airlock. We'll have a marine bring you to the party,once you land."

Gently strobing lights appeared before the bridge crews of the Solaric Empire,leading them to the starboard side hangar bay. When the ships landed,just like the other ships before,they were swarmed by deck crews to secure the ships and to examine them for micrometeoroid damage.

Meanwhile,with the other delegates,Zymun tilted his head,and looked at a point slightly to the side of the delegates,as if listening to,or for,something. The moment passed,and he addressed his escortees.

"It would appear that we have a tardy arrival. We will wait here until they join us in a few moments."

Zymun turned to address Ambassador Akio's escorts,and replied,

"I can understand why you think it's magic. In short,we use our psionics for everything. It's a science,to us,such is our deep understanding."

His six eyes twitched upward; A smile,perhaps?

"And it is with these psionics that we might understand you,and you us. While you might see us as advanced,you have tapped fields we never have. Hopefully,we will be able to learn from eachother."

Meanwhile,back in the hangar bay,a single vacuum suited soldier,a marine,saluted the Solaric Empire delegation as they disembarked from their ships.

"I'm sorry for the haste. Come with me,and we can get you with the rest of the delegates."

The marine followed closely behind the Solaric Empire delegates,directing them towards a specific door. Passing through,they enter an airlock. The door seals behind them,and the airlock cycles,opening the door deeper into the ship,revealing the delegations clustered just beyond,with their six-eyed escort,Discipula Zymun.

The marine saluted the party,and addressed the Discipula,

"I turn over the Solaric Empire diplomatic delegation to you,Discipula."

The Discipula nodded,and replied,"

"Thank you,marine. Return to your post."

The marine nodded,turned around smartly,and began to cycle the airlock once it closed behind him.

Zymun addressed the party once more,

"I am aware of the current conflict between the New Hegemony and the Solaric Empire. Please bear in mind that,while you are in this system,you are not to engage in any form of combat. We are here to try and pave the road to peace. With that in mind,let us proceed to the conference room."

And so,Discipula Zymun lead the delegates through the corridors of the USV Clear Vision,pointedly ignoring all members of crew they came across,before coming to a halt in front of a door flanked by two marines,each equipped in a large suit of armour,wielding bidents. They nodded to the Discipula,and opened the door.

The room within had no occupants. However,it was dominated by a single,large table,surrounded by chairs. The room was otherwise bare,bereft of decorations. Zymun gestured within.

"Please,make yourselves comfortable. I will fetch the Arch-Curate."

The New Hegemony ambassador removes his own vacuum suit, the alien under the suit looking almost identical to the aliens in the Unity, barring a difference in clothing. The Fleryg honor guard do not unequip their combat armor.
