Faurrap:"Beautiful, isn't it? The vastness of space, how small everything looks from here, the feeling of insignificance is enlightening...
Anyways, this might get a little dizzy."

He then boots up the FTL drive, and sets the coordinates to nearby Musavi, all previously calculate as some of the pre-traced FTL routes. The vision of space dilating and the feeling of a sudden, weird, jerk of motion is indescribable with words, almost instantly, they find themselves in orbit of the blue and green planet that is Musavi, with its space-elevator and Space-Bound Industrial size (which has grown considerably) being recognizable from that distance.

..."Was that your method of space travel? It doesn't look like our own... Oh well, you should be witnessing it quite soon actually, as I ordered them to go through with the entire set of experiments. The [Thorium] Reactor, the Otherworldly sensors, all of that."

...After about ten minutes, a flash of light is registered on visuals. One checking the sensors can see an object... Twenty six point seven five meters long, eleven meters wide...

Yep, this is their rocket. Their ship. But how?

"We'll explain it all later."

Faurrap:Amazing! I didn't expect your species to have developed FTL drives, though ours work perfectly well as they do right now."

The X-02 then heads towards the HQ of the planet.

"They aren't developed, they are [prototypes], they are [reverse-engineered] from ancient ruins back home."

They radioed the craft, "Check-in." Response: "Safe. Drive usage success. Drive powering down."

The ship lands safely in the air-strip of the big green and white HQ of the M.I.S.E, and Faurrap, leaves, guiding them to the board's room:

Faurrap:"Follow me guys, you're going to meet the leaders, then we'll go to the sub-oceanic facility".

"kk"

just continue n stuf

The beings are ushered into the building by Faurrap, although the ceiling is about 3m high, it is slightly cramped for them, after all, they are more than twice the height of the average Musavian.
The Umidifiers of the building are turned on full blast, something that pleases both the Musavians and, probably, the aliens, up the ornate elevator they go, to meet the leaders...
Through the large wooden door:

Diplomat:"Welcome, we have been waiting for you."

Says the Diplomat, on the center of the table, opposite to the door, the table is filled, apart for some chairs meant for the aliens, although way too small for them.

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav
"...You have. I suppose you noticed our driveship above your world."
The Diplomat said, still wearing a mask full of water to breathe, and probably tiny 'legs'. The strange alien aquatics, similar but different, looked around at the room.
"I didn't know life was possible outside the water until this time."

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer
"Ah, it is possible, and it is thriving." - Says the diplomat, as with a signal of his claw the holographic projector in the middle of the table lights up with imagery of the wonders of nature on Musavi.

Fort_Master_Gustav

"Well, the more you know. You said we could be able to tour your underwater facility?"

@Fort_Master_Gustav

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer (I'm sry, I'm a bit occupied with stuff.)
"Oh my, you're quite hasty aren't you? Shouldn't we at least not recognize each other's diplomatic influence first? Then the scientist here just insisted so much in showing you the facility, that we allowed it. If possible, we'd like some research agreements."

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav

"Alright then. Research agreements? That is fine with me."

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer
"Great, great. It is for that very reason that the scientist wished for you to check the facilities."

The center of the table now produces a freshly printed sheet of paper from one of its slits, which goesa round the table, being signed by the many faces there present, and lastly, handed over to the aliens:

"So, how do you sign stuff?"

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav (Brew some coffee)

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav
...The alien then used some rather weird appendage, a spike, and then wrote his name in naval morse... Of course, punched holes in the paper in the form of the morse, but that's enough.

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav conscript yourself

hmm

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer The paper is sent away into The Machine (The holodesk(shivers)) again, this time probably to be processed into the database, soon enough, the alies find themselves in the elevator again, which descends deeply into some kind of subway station, with a high-tech train awaiting them, full of cameras, and guards.

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav

The group of ~~xindi-~~Aquatics look at the train, and then manage to find their way inside, SOMEHOW.

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav Also it’s I-1.

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer uhm... hmmmm. they use TOOONNNAAAALLLLL MAANAANUIISSPPULLALASSIIONNNN
cough cough
The train's magnetic arrays whirl into working, as the floor seems to somehow attract the beings downwards, the train goes foward for about 20 seconds in an incredible pace, and starts turning downwards until it is completely 90º degrees, though the beings inside can barely feel the difference.

RedAndCosmoteer mhm mhm, sry brain toasty
