"Owww how exciting! New races! New guinea pigs! Hmm I am sorry, I don't want to scare you but I am a scientist...you know. I study new races from up close, preferably in a cage http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

"Ah.  Thank you for your time.  We shall be there shortly."

[Kiatya]

*breaks into the communicatiosn circuit*

Greetings High Senator.  I am Kiatya, High queen of hts establishment or shoudl I correctly say Delta alliance.

Greetings also to you Ardwyad my child.

Mr Senator, we can ajourn to our non function embassy or perhaps you could some visit me currently on the QSN border near the tmples, there is a functioning catering staff.

As always Mr ardwyad your prescnce is appreciated.

[Sorganis Perrna]

"The Nimbian High Senate send its warm greeting to all races and wishes to speak with any who are willing."

[Ardwyad]

"Our ship is currently at a Traquel shipyard base, where we accompany a newly discovered species of Starfleet and help them perform repairs to their ship. You are invited to visit our shipyards as well and meet with us."

[Sorganis Perrna]

(OFF: In which forum would this be continued?  There is no shipyard base forum)

[Ardwyad]

OFF: well, it depends on your current location of your ship. I am currently hailing from Traquel space where my ship is currently located. The Embassy, however, is at the HQ planet in Nygean space. Check out the maps in the database to have an idea http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> The distances are quite large, so that's why it depends on your location of your ship.

[Ardwyad]

"Good greetings to the Nimbian High Senate. The origin of your transmission is untraceable, and we haven't heard of your species before. Thank you for contacting us nevertheless. How can we help you?"

[Sorganis Perrna]

"Very well.  One question: We are reading some strange energy signatures emanating from your ship.  They seem to be anti-meteor cannons, only thousands of times larger.  What might they be?"
(OFF: I am indicating weapons, Nimbians have absolutely no military experience and no weaponry, so naturally they would be curious. PS: What does j/k mean?)

[Sorganis Perrna]

(OFF: We could head over to the Embassy forum and let the diplomatic staff handle it.  Or, if you'd rather, we could continue it here.  However, judging by the emptiness of your Embassy forum, there is no diplomatic staff, so I guess we'll have to do it ourselves, and then, as soon as you get a diplomatic staff, execute them for dereliction of duty http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>)

[Sorganis Perrna]

"We wish for a peaceful exchange of maps, scientific data, technology, and information of cultural significance in order to further our knowledge.  We also wish to establish diplomatic relations with the races we encounter, to allow the exchanges to continue.  We are sending the coordinates of our vessel now."

[Ardwyad]

"My ship is a security vessel, capable of defending our worlds against hostile enemies. We have various kinds of weaponry, but we only use them in case we need to defend ourselves."

OFF: j/k means "just kidding".

[Ardwyad]

OFF: hmm, good question. Actually me and my crew just beamed over for a tour on the visiting U.S.S. Evolution and that's taking place on the Evolution forum (Avalon Division). So I guess it could be anywhere lol.

[Sorganis Perrna]

"We would be delighted to reconvene in your Embassy.  We are approx. 1 parsec from you, and as such will be there in about 36 hours."
(OFF:Sorry, guys.  I had a period where I couldn't access a comp.  I should be able to post regularly, though)
