Captain Berrocal was astonished. Constantinople? They had also a planet named Constantinople? This visit was bound to enlighten both sides. He looked calm at Carl.

"No other choices are necessary, Chief Diplomat. I believe Constantinople will meet the King's requirements. I am sure the culture of Constantinople will prove worthy of a visit, seeming that we also have a planet named Constantinople. As for the specific resort, I trust your judgement as a native. Don't disappoint us."

He awaited their reaction to it.

"As for the fly-by, I don't suppose it would be possible to do it in this ship."

He laid a datapad on the table, revealing the dimensions of the nearly 6 km long super dreadnought that was the HMS Infinity.

"This ship will be the main vessel of our visit. I suppose it wouldn't be wise for it to be near the fly by of the capital?"
