​

The official Zweihander Union Sposia governmental center had just been completed. It was a true marvel. Comprised of over a dozen different sized buildings with unique purposes each one was handcrafted. Crafting styling were modeled after the Chiss who lived there. Ben Craig had been on Sposia for little over a week now, overseeing the construction of a N&Z Umbrella Corporation research facility. The newest addition to a long line of research facilities springing up all across Union territory.

Currently, he was located in the secure control room of the Sposia embassy. A chiseled marble building with towering columns lining the perimeter of the building. It was yet another busy work day, the room bustling with activity.

"Sir, a level 5 class message for you." Ben nodded to the comms officer and took the message. A representative of a relatively unknown species contacting the Union and requesting a meeting. "Pull up everything we have on this Wryu species. Send it to my datapad." The officer nodded and in an instant Ben's device chimed, the message being received. "Hm.." Ben mumbled to himself. There wasn't much on the file except that the Wryu were nomadic and sentient. "Alright, send the representative in to conference room #B894B" Ben walked out, his two black clad troopers following him silently.

The doors to the conference room swished open, drawing the attention of the wyrru ambassador. Their head turns towards the door, moving it out of their blind spot. Behind them to their left, floating about five feet in the air, is a back metal snake, built as a translator between them and vocally communicative species. To their right, sitting on the floor, is a small crate which contained gifts for the Union.

As Ben Craig enters, Peaceful Chaos greets them with a nod, the stones and metal disks hanging from their horns - fake, though the man likely didn't know that - chimed. "Thank you for meeting with me." The spines on their tail tick and slide as they speak, though the diplomat is unaware of it. Behind them, the droid speaks, translating the sign language. "My name Tyaxiv, my people have recently decided to become more active in the Lesser Known Galaxy, and has sent our several ambassadors to contact the major factions in hopes of learning more about them and working out agreements." Peaceful Chaos, or Tyaxiv as they programmed the droid to introduce them - they were aware their name translated to definitions in basic, along with the fact that names in basic were not definitions,so they had opted for something that sounded similar to the sounds their spines made when signing. - watched the man and his , though it was not obvious to most species. Their eyes, facing the sides as they were. He seemed like an older human, though judging the age of humans and other planet bound species were not their strong suit. Their life was much to long to accurately relate. Although from what they had learned, he had achieved much in his life time, short as it was.

"As a gesture of good will, and to help any further discussions go smoother, we have proved you with several translator droids and the designs for them, along with holodrives containing information on our species and our language for download into droids or personal study."

As Ben entered the room, his two troopers stood guard outside. Ben greeted the diplomat with a smile. Ben watched as the translator droid spoke for the alien. Ben nodded, "Welcome to the Union. I hope your flight was well." He replied. Ben nodded slowly looking from the translator droid to Tyaxiv, "I understand. I hope our people can both learn from each other." He had never heard of the Wyrru species before so Ben was thrilled to study them.

"Thank you. Should you need anything let me know and I shall provide it." Ben smiled then gestured to the long conference style table in the middle of the room. "Please, sit , shall we discuss terms?" Ben walked over to the table and took a seat.

Scales whisper as Peaceful Chaos makes their way over to the conference table. Settling into the chair with little difficulty, designed for many diverse species as it was. "Before we begin, I'd like to get it out in the open that while I'm trained in negotiations and diplomacy, i have little practical experience in it, so forgive me if I make any mistakes when it comes to colloquial greetings or traditional interactions." It wasn't a hard conclusion to come to. After all the wyrru were practically brand new to the galaxy, but outsiders like Ben Craig didn't know the culture. They didn't know that the wyrru as a species were largely united and had little use for inter diplomacy. It was better to clarify now than assume he knew and cause an incident.

"As I'm sure you know, wyrru are new to the Lesser Known Galaxy. While we're an advanced species, well into what you would classify as "galactic standard" we've kept our distance due largely to our exceedingly long life spans compared to most planet bound species. Recently, hundreds of our own vanished at the same time billions disappeared from your galaxy. Based on the fact that no other galaxy we were in at the time had any similar instance, my people felt it was a sign from the Siblings to make ourselves known here. Because of this, we're trying to contact and communicate with several major factions for the creation of fluid- sorry, situational alliances." Peaceful Chaos paused, letting the droid catch up to their fast signing. They were also giving the man time to process the information, as some of the things alluded to - such as inter universal travel - was well beyond the ability of the species.

Ben watched as Tyaxiv sat down with difficulty. Ben would have to come up with a solution for this for future delegations. He nodded as he spoke. Everything was being recorded. "I understand." He listened intently as the droid translated for the alien. Ben took a moment to process the new information he had just received. He would later go in the control room and listen to the audio tapes again. "Very interesting. Yes i'm sure we can create an alliance between our two nations."

The room seemed warm to the wyrru, used to the cold embrace of space as the were. Briefly, they checked the bottom of their chair for any melting or burning. None yet, it seemed the seat was of sturdier material than they had originally thought.

This was it. The moment of truth. "We would like a trade agreement. My people have a large number of unique resources, we are willing to trade them with you for the chance to watch how planet bound species conduct business." They may known much about these species, but with so many galaxies, one couldn't learn everything from the confines of space. They did not know this, nor many other things.

Peaceful Chaos shifted, their sinuous form aching from the continued strain of gravity. "Another thing, we're not a war like people, but we're willing to help fight in battles we decide to participate in. Although most of us prefer to be scholars, explorers, and innovators, war is not our way." With their piece said, the diplomat let their tail drop in a gesture of exhaustion that wold be obvious even to an airsick planet bound like the man before them. They had spent time on planets before, but it had been many decades, their body needed to build up the muscles once again.

​

There was a moment of silence as Tyaxiv inspected the bottom of his chair. Ben nodded, "That is acceptable. I will of course need a list of the exact unique materials the Wyrru people have." Both civilizations would be able to learn a great many things of each other.

Ben smiled, "Of course. Perhaps you can show us information you have obtained regarding other species you have encountered in your space. The information from your innovators and explorers would also prove useful." The Zweihander Union was powerful in regards to its military force. What it did somewhat lack was philosophy and exploration of the unknown. Ben replied, "Would it be possible to send some of your explorers across the galaxy and unknown regions?"

The man seemed amiable to their proposals, this was helpful. Especially considering he asked for intelligent instead of fighters.

"That can be done, though any sensitive information we're told of other allied factions will of course be kept to ourselves. Much like we'd do for any information learned from the Zweihander Union." As they spoke, the droid stumbled at the word zweihander. As a handless species, they didn't have a need for the word in their vocabulary. While not a problem among their own, planet bound species had hundreds of colloquial expressions revolving around hands. "We can easily send out explorers, the only problem would be keeping them on task. Our explorers, myself included, detest staying still for too long. Ten years is likely the longest you'll ever get one of us to sit still, hardly a blink of the eye."

With the easier topic gone over, Peaceful Chaos called on the force and lifted a compact data chip out of it. "This contains some of our more immediate materials we've already brought into or near the galaxy. I can have a shipment of sample materials here in a few days if you'd like, we can bring it along with our medical information."

Ben nodded, he understood of course. "I understand." He noticed the translator droid hesitate when translating. There was obviously a gap between the languages. He grinned, "That is fine. Perhaps you can provide charted courses that you use that may be easier than the ones we use. I noticed your droid was having issues translating. I could provide a droid with our language and slang terms to aid any meetings you have with other groups." Ben may or may not put a relay device within said droid to record confidential information of other groups and send them back to Union intelligence analysts to decipher. It really depended on his mood at the time.

He watched as the alien used some sort of dark magic, presumably the so called force to bring forth a data chip. Ben gently picked it out of the air of which it was floating through. "Hm interesting, thank you." The interesting he was referring to was the nature of the force of course and the role it played within the Wryru species culture.

They thought the offer over. A droid with the common colloquial terms would be nice, even if it couldn't help with the current issue. "That would be appreciated, although that mistakes was on my end more than yours. For obvious reasons we don't have a word for um..." The droid didn't translate the um so much as cut off, drawing attention to the soft shft-clk of the spines as the slid across each other and tapped the ends of the one above it, forming a complex looking woven pattern.
"We don't have a word for ovular grabby flesh parts." The sentence itself was blocky and hard to understand. To help, they gestured to the man's hands with their head, making the stones and metal in their headdress chime as they bumped into each other. "Although any droid you do provide will need the spines of my species to translate their words back to WSL."

Silence reigned as Peaceful Chaos thought. "If there's nothing else you'd like to talk about in terms of the treatise, I believe it would be a good idea to adjourn for the night. I need to contact the leaders of my people and get their opinions. They would have preferred to come themselves, but old as they are, large gravity wells like planets can do serious damage to their bodies." They shifted once more, stretching sore muscles from the uncomfortable chair. Maybe they could have their next meeting ship board, with its anti gravity generator. That way they wouldn't be slowly crushed as they spoke.

"I understand. I can have my scientists and engineers procure a droid specifically made for you and your species." He leaned back and smiled, "Yes it is quite late. I thank you for coming all this way. May we both learn from the ways of our people." With the meeting concluded, he got up and did a slight bow, unsure what the customs were for greeting and saying goodbye were. Ben then motioned towards the door
