Kotaii guided the human woman out of the docks to a sleek black transport that was waiting for them, holding the door for her as they embarked. The windows were tinted, letting the passengers see out while keeping whatever transpired within entirely clandestine to the outside world. He made idle chit chat during the short journey, eventually announcing they had arrived.

The restaurant had a smooth look while still giving off a sense of aged charm in its design. Most of the seating was outdoors, where a short balcony preceded a view over a decently sized lake, a few recreational watercrafts floating along the surface. One could only imagine the effort required to install something like this on the artificial structure while maintaining the roughly natural aesthetic.

"A waiter should be here to take orders soon enough, I'm not a big fan of imposing on local business with federal officialities, if you'll excuse the apparent unplanned nature of all this. What do you think of the view?"

          Linda takes her seat across from Kotaii the absolute hunk of a space fox. Quickly going over the menu before placing it down answering his question.I'm sure it is fine. This place is very extravagant. The view is...just wow...just wow. Now, this is a place you could take a girl to. Linda says attempting to hide her blushing face as she says the last part.

            Kotaii paused for a moment, tilting his head at the strange human girl's words.

            "Yes, I... I suppose it would be, wouldn't it. I will admit my days of dabbling in matters like that are long, long gone, so I hadn't considered such. I hope it does not offend you."

            A waitress walked over. She hesitated upon seeing a human at the table, but a hand signal from one of the bodyguards at Kotaii's 'car' calmed her down. The majority of the menu items were meat-based, though there were some salad-like options. Kotaii ordered what he later explained was a rough equivalent of a steak, and made it clear he could order in something else if nothing here suited her palate.

            "Now, if you have no objections, to business. The Pact is interested in much closer cooperation with the UEG, particularly in military aspects, though by no means exclusively."

                Soundbust11 ”No offence taken.” Linda says. She scours over the menu and when she finds something remotely interesting she shows the menu to Kotaii pointing to what she has decided on.

                ”More cooperation with a particular interest in military endeavours. My my mr fox. You have some big ideas!” Linda thinks to herself before she speaks. “I’m sure we can work something out with our two species and government cooperating on a grand scale. Now, regarding military, The UEG also wants to have much more close military relations. Mainly because of relations with the GBE and UoJ.” “Or you could make just me a deal” Linda thinks trying to stop her face from warming up.

                  The fox man smiled at her words, though winced ever so slightly at the mention of inter-species co-operation.

                  "The Council has some concerns regarding cultural clashes between general populaces. Hell, a lot of my job is just keeping the major population centers away from each others' throats within the Pact. Rushing in to widespread cultural connectivity could very well lead to unintended consequences. That said, there is a possible reach around solution that I would like you to consider."

                  "I've always been of the opinion that hitting two birds with one stone is good, but three is better. Our stealth and subterfuge technologies are almost second to none, as I'm sure you're aware, however we lack the critical element; insertion method. This is where the Pact feels we could gain a lot from each other."

                  He pulled a device from inside his coat, placing it on the table. A shimmering field appeared around them, all outside noises disappearing entirely, and he took on a less jesting tone.

                  "We are aware of the UEG's own surveillance organisation going by, or operating under, ONI. And please, don't try to feign ignorance, we do know. What I propose is a joint task force; VWP technology, ONI personnel. Such a force would quite obviously be one to be reckoned with, but the intended outcome is twofold. Any results said team outputs is publicised where possible. Security concerns aside, all the publics need to know is what was discovered, and that it couldn't have been done without the help of the other nation. Consider this a sort of test run to see how people react to increased co-operation when directly faced with its positives."

                  His expression softened "Of course I realise this is mainly a concern on my end, but it is a concern none the less. I will admit I feel a slight pride in the plan, I oversee the team responsible you see."

                          " I hope in due time the council can put aside the cultural differences between us. Nonetheless, it is no issue for me and the government I represent. I am sure the UEG intelligence community would like to accept your joint surveillance deal and would definitely like to see more cooperation between governments and the UoJ. There might be some issues about what the findings of this proposed team may find regarding security levels and the public eye. Who knows who is watching." Linda gazes lustfully at the fox, mentally undressing him.

                              As though on cue, the waitress returned, carrying two plates. She carefully set down both, taking extra care with Linda's order. Kotaii licked his lips, Linda catching a brief glimpse of his fangs, before he thanked the waitress.

She tells herself to refocus on eating her meal. She mutters I'll let you make me a meal" under her breathe quietly before addressing the question.


                                    "I volunteered myself for this mission because... because I think that our two species can work together to accomplish many....great things. Many great.... Many new scientific avenues and ventures, as well as military."

                                    Linda's mind begins to knot itself as she becomes more flustered.

Kotaii's ear flicked slightly upon her muttered words, and his expression briefly shifted to one of mild confusion, wondering if he had misheard something. He relaxed a bit when she went on about interspecies cooperation once more.

                                      K: "Well, ideally so indeed! You truly are too kind in your consideration of my people, and I do hope this will not be the last time we meet."

She did notice Kotaii choking on his drink. Maybe she was reading too far into things. She smooths her skirt and says "that was a wonderful meal. Now what else is planned for the night regarding diplomatic actions?"

                                              20 days later

                                              Many things have been said in the ADL about the VWP. It's an unknown factor, one which could either work with or against the ADL. With amiable relations with the UEG, the Parliament thought it'd be a smart idea to establish relations on good footing with the other UoJ members, starting with the most unknown agent first.

                                              They sent one Heleka Va'turn, while not the most charming person, is an excellent diplomat. The trip to VWP space was rudely delayed by the fueling back home being understaffed, thanks to the recent protests.

                                              "Damn, how long is this trip going to take?" one of the supporting envoys asks.

                                              "Sir, we're going to be en route for another few hours." a bridge crew responds.

                                              "Make sure you forwarded the message to the VWP." Heleka says. "We wouldn't want to be intruding on their space and instantly sour relations."

                                              "Aye, ma'am." the crewman says, shifting his gaze over to a nearby interface. There's a lot of incoming and outgoing messages from various ships, especially in the squadron. With several Y-Class Frigates and a sole Thunderstorm-Class Destroyer, all sending out repeated pulses informing any nearby installations that their mission is peaceful.

                                              They arrive at an outpost of the VWP, where they request access to dock.

                                              Kotaii got up from his seat, rather contented with the food. He tipped the grateful waitress, before walking back towards the vehicle that had brought them here, beckoning Linda to follow.

                                              K: "Well, I believe I have stated that I believe precise details of our arrangements can be sorted by either the bean counters or subsequent meetings; think of tonight's talks as more of an agreement and a commitment, rather than something concrete. He chuckled Imagine how much easier our jobs would be were this all it took, but I digress."

                                              He halted just next to the "car", turning to face Linda.
                                              K: "Unless there is something more you wish to say to me, you're welcome to browse the various amenities afforded on this Orbital. In fact I believe that lake we were overlooking hosts day excursions, should you feel so inclined. Whether I accompany you or not is your choice."

                                              The system seemed almost lifeless at first, indistinguishable from the countless millions of sterile constellations littering the galaxy. Only on closer investigations would one note the large chunks of asteroid belts that were apparently missing, various pieces of equipment lying dormant within, as well as the notably large satellite orbiting the star, 5km along its longest axis.

                                              A message relayed itself into the comms arrays of the ADL ships, apparently not having originated from the starbase, or anywhere for that matter. As far as could be discerned, the message had simply appeared in the OS.

                                              //Transmission Start//
                                              "Arriving vessels, please confirm that you are the attaché sent from the ADL. If you are not such, disclose your intentions and nationality. Failure to do so will be met with armed response."
                                              //Transmission End//

                                                  Soundbust11

                                                  "We are indeed the attache. We've been sent from Cunicule itself in order to establish diplomatic relations." Heleka herself confirms, with the characteristic clicking noises which are spaced throughout the ADL's variant of the galactic standard language.

                                                  This message is received by all of the envoy ships, everyone as confused as the next person as to where this transmission originated. No sensors placed aboard can detect any life anywhere nearby, which leads to the defensive armaments being quietly armed, prepared for potential pirates.

A task force consisting of one Meltoria-class battlecruiser, two Kelkapia-class cruisers, and seven Kripteria-class destroyers. The force proceeds to the edge of Vaiaelon space, and stops, sending a transmission requesting a meeting.
