When the Anean ship entered the airspace of Suikodan, those who were the most sensible to the link of the Hive Mind, like Nova, noticed something vague, something strange, but not aggressive, entering the Hive Mind... staying at the periphery of the accessible thoughts, but still unaccessible...
Nova was curious of this phenomena and doubted that the Anean arrival wasn't related...
-------------------------
''Here's the Minor Relay Station of Key Island. Permission granted to land on Pad-1. Area is secure of all detectable threats. Proceed to landing when possible.''
-------------------------
As the Anean Outsider ship landed, the 2 Elite guards at the entrance of the Meeting building went to quickly greet the 2 Aneans and to escort them to Nova-Mind, staying at the entrance as the Aneans entered the room.
Nova, who was sitting at the round shaped table, near the bay window, rose from his chair to welcome the Aneans, his bodyguard following like his shadow.
Nova-Voice : ''May you excuse our rigorous security procedures, but an exchange of this importance require appropriate precautions. Make yourself comfortable, while I unlock the wall safe to get the documents.''

IX said through the earpiece, "Hmm... watch him. I don't quite trust them yet. Turn me toward the safe so I can make sure he isn't going to try anything. I already had a bad situation on the colony ship. I don't want another here." I turned my head to look at the safe then waited.

OOC : Need some refreshing here... High-tech comm. techs -for- which one again ? ...Small laser weapon and/or Light personal shield ? ...I'm pretty sure it was -1- of them...
Nova was in front of the wall safe, which seemed like ordinary gray safe with no exceptional features... all this was of course only the appearance, as the Aneans might see...
Nova opened a small metallic panel, which uncovered an old fashioned circular lock... He turned the lock a few times, then a smaller panel opened on the side... He quickly put his hand on it and a faint light could be seen coming from the panel... Those 2 steps finished, the safe finally opened itself.
After taking the small briefcase that was holding the precious documents, Nova carefully closed the safe and returned to the round table, sitting on a seat in front of the Aneans.
Nova-Voice : ''I believe we can now officially start our... diplomatic... exchange of technologies. We will both announce what are the items involved and then verify, if the said items are present at this table. Would like to start ?''

Colonel Nakhi WelhanIX said to me, "There was a pause there before he said diplomatic. I don't like that. I don't think it will affect the meeting but keep an eye on all he does. I don't quite trust them." With that in thought, I said to Nova, "Right. You wanted advanced communications, and we have the best we are able to give you in the documents in my briefcase. A hyperwave I believe is what people would call it."

Nova-Voice : '' The best you are able to give, you say ? I suppose that giving advanced technologies at other Nations must be something hard, as long as a real trust haven't been installed, of course...'' Nova said the last few words, looking at the Outsider diplomats... He didn't needed to be someone highly sensible to the general atmosphere of a situation, to be able to sense that the Anean Outsiders seemed... tensed, for some reasons... Nova-Voice : '' ...But as long as your communication technology can overcome high electromagnetic interferences, like from some anomalies in Space or the natural field of planets like this one... Then we will have an agreement.'' '' That is, of course, if you accept those blueprints for the adaptation of small laser weapons, like a pistol... and this one which is for the adaptation of the shield technology for limited space and range, like yourself.'' '' You should be able to adapt, whatever version of laser and energy technologies you have, to reach the specifications detailed in those documents.'' While he was talking, Nova had opened the briefcase and turned it to show the content to the 2 Anean Outsiders. As he closed it and before he gave it to the Aneans... Nova decided to add a little extra, both to ''sweeten the deal'' and to calm the nerves of the seemingly stressed diplomats... Nova-Voice : '' To conclude all this... Before you go, would you like to take with you one of our Seaweed wine bottle ? I believe you appreciated it last time Colonel ? Also, maybe your General would like to experience the subtle aromas of a Hive Wine... I assure you, It would be our pleasure.'' OOC : Seara-Mu, from page 4... seafruitwine.com/

Heh, might as well try this wine too." I brought my briefcase up, took the key from my front uniform pocket and unlocked the handcuffs. They were starting to hurt. Afterward, I unlocked the briefcase. I said, "By best I am able to give, I meant the best I can give. I am not the most senior of the Empire's diplomats. Anyway, here it is." I slid the briefcase over. "And I am sure the General would like to try the wine. He hasn't had much in the way of the native gifts."

In the end, the Hive would have what they wanted and the Anean Outsiders would also be satisfied, but before any of this could be, Nova had to check quickly the first files, simply to let the scientific Minds confirm the potential of this technology.
Nova-Voice : ''Everything looks in order. We both have the technologies we wanted and intended to get during this meeting. I must thank you again for this, as this new advanced communication technology will help the people of the Hive to... reach more easily, other Nations.''
''The Hive needs to open diplomatic relations more, which will be done progressively, and maybe will we open trade routes with your Nation, in the future. Time will tell Us. Until then, we must say good-bye. One of my guard will give you, our gift, the Seaweed wine bottle just outside.''

I hope that this opens the way for better relations in the long run." I started to get up, but stopped. "I just remembered. I have a gift from the General." I took the box from Rio and set it on the table. I opened it and turned it to the person. The gem is just starting to turn purple now. "This is what the General calls the Heartstone. It's a gem that is, as far as we know, only found on our homeworld. If you were to watch it, it changes color slowly over the course of a day. This is the 3rd largest one in the Empire."
