Ladon System
Pax Dracon

The Treecuu Star Empire didn't maintain formal diplomatic relations with other states. Normally, silent "diplomacy" was maintained through the extensive network of border buoys around the empire, relaying only select messages, mostly warnings to stay away. The Aryyt't probe had forced the leadership to employ a different strategy, and one of the few trained diplomats was on her way to Pax Dracon.

Special Emissary Teemas was pleased. During the trip through Drakari space they had been able to receive and analyse broadcasts featuring the general sentiment towards the Treecuu and the annexation of Yim III, a vital part of her mission to determine the most likely Drakari course of action against the Treecuu. Nevertheless, Teemas looked forward to meeting what could be seen as equals in some way, also being capable of FTL.

"Your instructions, Emissary?" the captain of the refitted corvette asked Teemas.

"What a friendly welcome... Let the computer respond to it. Approach nonchalantly at high speed, then make a hard stop just at the dock."

"With pleasure."

"Oh, and this isn't one of the subject worlds. Turn off the thrusters at once when we have come to a full stop, we don't want to ruin that port for them. And leave the target acquisition systems off."

"Understood."

The white, sleek vessel started its approach towards the Ajakis Memorial Starport.
