Tullia initially hesitates upon hearing the clacking, but decides to just roll with it, really not wishing to embarrass herself
“I’ve never heard of Rehy. If you could give a description of what Rehy is?”

Diplomat Kescy: “Rehy is originally a Military Alliance, instigated by the Screea Defence Defence in 9543 BBT, borders are now form states. Our economy is driven by workers unions, and we do not have a currency. Our priority is protecting the wellbeing and rites of ourselves and allies.”

“I’m unsure if you’ve heard of the Directorate, so I’ll take the initiative and tell you.”
Tullia smiles beamingly, her eyes practically giddy with excitement
“So, The Scientific Directorate of Rosecordia is also similarly old, earliest records dating back to 9430 BBT. Our economy is mixed, and our currency is called the Directorate Credit. We prioritize the military and economic security of our allies, too.”
“If you’d like to talk more about this with us after the funeral, I’d love to talk to you more, but I feel really awkward if our first contact is at a funeral. I’ll see myself out.”
Tullia leaves, and walks back towards the Rosecordi group
“So, how’d it go?”
“We talked… We probably should’ve talked after the funeral.”
“Makes sense.”
“Well, you didn’t make us look bad, so it’s alright.”

The Rikeuninerd don’t say much, instead they quietly acknowledge Tullia’s statement. Kescy will think about considering diplomacy once the funeral is over, for now there where other priorities.
One of the guards checks the atmosphere: “Syyi, oxygen is of 30%. Would we be able to breath?”
Syyi KiKi: “That would depend on the individual and the planets you are of, but mostly yes.” Syyi KiKi then allows them to brake formation, signalled by a guttural growing tone.
Most individuals take off their helmets, including Syyi KiKi. Many of them are ethnic Kusu, but there is some variation. “I don’t want to have to go back to the ship to put my gear away.” Some say. Others agree and they put their helmets back on.

The representatives of Colonus stood a little bit away from the guests, observing them. The Governors had split into the usual groups. Of course, they’d be expected to interact later on, but more out of obligation than any real desire. Ishani, Scytheros, Vrache, and Zelani stood by the window, trying to spot Araknis’s star.
“How many more are we expecting?” Zelani idly asked
“Four of the delegations have yet to arrive. After that, we can proceed with the funeral and coronation.” Scytheros answered in his usual, monotone voice.
“Ooh, the coronation, that sounds like fun.” Vrache laughed, looking at the guests. “I assume you didn’t tell them what to expect?”
“You always said people like a surprise. I thought it interesting to see how they react.”
“Heh, I thought you disapproved of that kind of stuff.”
“It’s not so bad to mix things up every now and then. I don’t intend to be another maintainer of the status quo like father and grandmother were.” Vrache nodded to Scytheros and left, most likely to retrieve his violin. Zelani shook her head.
“He’s getting better, you know. The stabilization of the Wraith Fragment has certainly made treatment easier.” Ishani said, smiling. Zelani smiled back, a rare sight in recent years.
[Scytheros, it appears that the next attendee is approaching]

k.u.k. Prinz Zephyrinus
Skuorpine System, Colonus Pact
1 ABT
Fixing his attire, Prince Karl Gustaf Eitel Franz von Lichtenburg-Hohenzollern-Schaumburg, or simply Prince Carol, prepares himself to meet with the representatives of the Colonus Pact, among many other of his peers. Attending as a representative for both the Weissersteiner Empire and the Pan-Terran League, Prince Carol had a lot on his shoulder.
“Sir, we will soon be arriving”
“Thank you, captain”
The captain of the ship opens up communication with the Colonus Capital Ship
“This is the k.u.k. Prinz Zephyrinus, from the Weissersteiner Empire and the Pan-Terran League, requesting permission to land, thank you”

Hexadecimal welcomed the new arrivals and explained everything just as they had before. But this time, they had a bit more to say.
[From what I hear, Governor Lux has been looking forward to meeting you! Although the traditions of the Colonus Pact hold that any nation that does not hold formal relations with are to be greeted by a Mandi escort, he somehow managed talked Lord Scytheros into letting him escort you himself! Very impressive, if you ask me. Anyway, it has been a pleasure getting to meet you, I hope you enjoy your time in the Colonus Pact!]

As the Prinz Zephyrinus prepares to land, the ship’s captain informed Prince Carol of their escort
“As it appears, we will have special company, sir.”
“Who may that be?”
“A man by the name of Governor Lux, he seemed to have convinced the top leaders of Colonus to allow him to give us a warm welcome.”
“Very well, then.”
As the ship prepares to land, Captain Pieter de Jung of the ship’s Imperial and Royal Diplomatic Guard Corps fixes his military uniform.
“Should I get the men ready sir?”
“That shouldn’t be necessary, tell them to stay in the ship.”
“But sir-”
“I’m sure the people of Colonus has taken great efforts to keep the ship secure from any threats. That being said, you and one more of your men are still coming with me. No need to bring out the whole squadron.”
“Of course, sir.”
Prinz Zephyrinus lands on the dock, and the ship’s doors open as Prince Carol, Captain Pieter and another soldier of the Diplomatic Guards steps out of the ship.
Under his breath, Prince Carol whispers…
Gott mit uns.

S p a c e, 1 ABT
Somewhere on a spaceship in FTL transit, the mildly well-known Owettan business representative Haneshaya Zaraki tapped away at the controls of a small, unassuming diplomatic shuttle. An integrated ship autopilot would normally be handling all navigational and maintenance-of-operation functions while the passengers prepared for the upcoming diplomatic event, but circumstances led things to be different. The ship’s FTL drive and navigational shield systems, faithfully recreated to match Owettan examples down to the material impurities and manufacturing tolerances, lacked the minute adaptations necessary to fully avoid minor exterior damage and other navigational inconveniences while transiting the space between Colonus and Galactya; the communication systems of the ship thus needed to be monitored in the event that their antennae sustained damage and required brief repair before arrival in Colonus space.
Some time later, the shuttle left FTL in the designated system. The trip had proceeded without incident after leaving the Shizuka nebula between the Tiyanki Territories and Colonus, but repairing damage to the shuttle’s primary communications transceiver had caused it to arrive in system roughly fifteen minutes later than Haruhi was planning. She thought that the inability to use a normal ship transporter to move the shuttle outside of the nebula was inconvenient, but the relative positions of Colonus and the Owettan States at least meant that such an occurrence in transit would believable to anybody that asked.
Shortly after leaving FTL, Haneshaya took the bridge’s microphone and broadcast a message in Owettan standard communication encoding.
”This is the vessel of Haneshaya Zaraki, carrying the delegation representing the Owettan States. Requesting permission to dock on station.”

One of the guards turns to Syyi KiKi: “Syyi, can I go back to the ship and remove my armour.”
Syyi KiKi: “That is not of known. I would like to change into my traditional uniform. We will have to ask someone.”
Diplomat Kescy: “Find and ask one of the mandi soldiers. Or similar.”
The Rikeuninerd say put as not to seperate from each other, scanning their surroundings for an appropriate individual.

A little ways off they see a Vanti standing with a drink in her hand. There appears to be some sort of patch on the side of her head, indicating a recent surgery. She seemed to be conversing with a group of Mandi before dismissing them. It spoke of a somewhat high military rank, and seemed as good a place as any to start.

Diplomat Kescy and one of the guards agree to approach this individual, the others staying behind.
Diplomat Kescy greats with a soft honking sound, and begins to talk. “I am Diplomat Kescy of Rehy.” Diplomat Kescy gestures at the others. “Some of us would like to remove our armour. Are we able to go back to our ships?”

She rubbed here eyes and turned to meet them. “Uh, hey, sorry, I’m still recovering from my removal from the Hivemind, so I might be a bit distracted. I’m Captain Vthara, and, uh, yeah, sure, I could send and escort to bring you to your ship, that shouldn’t be a problem.”

Diplomat Kescy wonders about the hive mind, but this will have to go discussed later, there are priorities.
Diplomat Kescy acknowledges Captain Vthara’s greeting with another honking sound. “That would be good, thank you.”
Both Rikeuninerd stand waiting for the escort to arrive, Diplomat Kescy observes the surroundings.

Hey everyone, I’d like to thank you for getting involved in this. I know we didn’t get all that far into it, but I hope that you at least had some fun and had some considerations about atmospheric levels 
In truth, something like this might have been a little complicated to pull off, but I’m happy we at least committed to trying it. I am not retconning this because I don’t want to do it anymore or anything like that, but because of a change in circumstances. With the massive slew of retcons that are happening I’ve decided to try my hand at something different in A1-0, as I know some of you have.
I look forward to roleplaying with you at a future date, and I’ll see you on the other side.
-This Roleplay Is Now Retconned-
