Captain Vrenger didn't hesitate before taking the outstretched hand. "Thank you, and greetings from the Union of Tinis. I am no diplomat, but I can say that I hope our people's are able to get along in this new era." The feline's soft fur contrasted greatly with the robotic hand. "I have been authorized to at least open up communications, and well, get to know you a little."

=Joint Chief of the Traditional Army, Colonel Horacio Ehrlich Mercado="I would gladly lead you to the capital, but the Supreme Commander has delegated to some of his ministers the diplomatic duties for know. I am one of those few with such duty. You have to understand, we were in such isolation for a long time, that now many nations are contacting us, or we are contacting them." Replied the Joint Chief. After a brief pause, he continued: "Well. We should get to the diplomatic agreements, if you want to. For the moment we are not stablishing any trade, althrough any sort of ambassy would be welcome." Governor-Militant IX"I understand but I was just asking. It was kind of quiet. But yes, I think we could get onto diplomatic agreements. I am not a trade person anyway so I am not worried about that. Heh... just ask the Cali. That's another country in the region that I have had... tensions with lately. "Anyway, moving on."

The tilt-rota landed in a conventional manner as the runway was large enough for the SOTOL craft. It was small, white and obviously not a military craft.
When the door opened it dropped it's own steps to the tarmac.
Lady Tie stood at the top of the small steps in her sari like dress, her black feline hair streaked with a little grey. She wondered what would greet her.
The tilt-rota turned it's blades upwards.
It was clearly a non-treating craft, if anything the commonwealth was trying to play down any power they had.

The posts where designed to provide light but to not hurt the eyes; it contrasted neatly with the centralizan night. Shortly, a craft became visible, and quickly landed. He had just arrived in time - or so he thought. As a black feline came out of the transport, he approached. He did not know what kind of expression he would make. After all, he had forgoten to bring anything that might make him look like a minister, or diplomat, for the matter. With his mostly-casual clothing, and with an insecure tone in his voice, the fox decided to be bold and approached the feline. "Greetings, and welcome to Centraliza. I am the Minister of Internal Affairs, Drae Selek."

Diplomatic Airship, the 'Aerial Diplomatic Enterpreur I' The 'Aerial Diplomatic Enterpreur I' ( Formerly the Aerial Destroyer Entrust IV ) was renamed just in time, as one of it's scout-escorts sighted a civilization in the distance. "Run a scan" ordered the airship, to which the small scout-escort, which was shaped like a UFO, reacted by trying to scan from affar. Afterwards, some data was collected, not many as the scan was quick and incomplete, but enought to send a message from the large airship. Trying a numbers of frequencies, it sent the message to Aatuylva: "Greetings, citizens of this land. We come from Centraliza, a nation from the East. We now seek to break our isolation which held us for such a long time, and now, we wish to stablish diplomatic relations with other nations. May we enter your airspace?" "Anyone have any idea what they said?" "Not really...but the Governor said something about some visitors." "Get someone who speaks German in here!" After some rearranging, eventually they responded back, in german. "This is Aatuylvan Control Alpha, you are cleared for Tower One. Wraith gunships will escort you in. Follow the flight path exactly. We don't want any rebels shooting you down. Welcome to Aatuylva."

We don't want any rebels shooting you down. Welcome to Aatuylva." =Max du Pont, "Marginal Duties" Minister=As the airship approached slowly to the country, a message - proably a reply, althrough it could be a warning - was received. "Minister!" Yelled one of the offices in the communication room. "We received a message from the country!" The android was happy to have heard that. Until he heard what came, next, however. "But we do not know what they are saying! One of the officers on board says it could be a variant of Russian, thought." The minister waited for the face on the vidcom to turn, and then he facepalmed. Once the officer on the vidcom turned to face the minster again, the later asked, calmly and politely: "Did you forgot to turn the translator on?" a few laughts could be heard from behaind the officer. "Um, yeah, we thought it would not be necesary so we turned it off to save energy. We will now translate the message thought." The message was translated, and the minister quickly thought about a reply. "Good. Now, send this message: 'Greetings, we will comply with your.. Suggestion, and maintain a steady course through the flight path." The officer replied "As you order sir!" and the minster was left alone with his thoughts. "Save energy?, DUH!" He thought, as he once read in some panel that the translation system consumed less than 0.5% of the energy available...

"Acknowledged."
The radio operator, turning his comms off, turned to his compatriate.
"Have you ever seen a sillier aircraft?"
"Well, some of the plans the War Minister has been pushing are pretty weird."
-------------------
Unlike most diplomatic meetings, this time, the Governor was ready for them. After all, it would take quite a bit for the airship to get here, and Stidham was forced to take great care in defending it. He even bought a new suit for the occasion, a green one.
He continued to fidget atop the flaktower fortress euphemistically called 'Tower One'. A fortress that watched over the whole of the capital of Accallia, it was the most heavily defended position in all of Aatuylva. Dunsel feared that the flak cannons, machine guns, and armed soldiers would put up the wrong front...but, Alas, there were few areas that could support aircraft, much less one as big as an airship.
He made sure his toupee was on correctly one last time, waiting for the delegation to arrive in the fortress capital. Hopefully, he would be able to put them at ease. Unless of course Wira is right, and they end up shooting him...
But Wira's just an aging Ai'lupan, paranoid against the world...

The Diplomatic Enterpreur followed the planned path to the best of it's maneuvering and (reduced) speed. The scout-escort had returned beforehand to avoid being confused for a bomber or the like; it seemed menacing according to some Centralizan survey, after all.

I pointed at my island in the northeast. "It's underdeveloped as of right now since we only just arrived on the planet a few months ago, but I have claimed the entire island and I have some big plans for it."

Lady Tie smiled "Greeting I am lady Tie, don't worry about the title you get them after a few years in the service."
She made a dismissive gesture and continued "They are kind of a perk, worth nothing, though it is nice to be recognised, and personal so if I had kids It would not be passed down."
Tie had decided that they would have to be honest as to the nature of the commonwealth as certain other people would tell anyway.
"We wish no harm and wish to normalise relations with your people. and perhaps interest you in a way to trade with out having to have capitalist visit your nation.
Oh yes this is my aid Dame Sie." she ended indicating a younger, but certainly over her mid thirties leefen similarly dress behind her.

Being honest, too, that was pretty common during Farsante's time." The Joint Chief almost smiled. After the island's location was mentioned, the map altered slightly to note it. Lady Tie smiled "Greeting I am lady Tie, don't worry about the title you get them after a few years in the service." She made a dismissive gesture and continued "They are kind of a perk, worth nothing, though it is nice to be recognised, and personal so if I had kids It would not be passed down."

"Welcome. Oh, and no problem about that. Any 'title' around here is purely aesthetic." He paused. "So well, we wish no hostilities between our nations. As for trade, our National Marketting Board will surely need to prove it's usefulness. Seeing as we have yet to set a trade agreement in our history as a nation..." The fox decided too, to be honest. Centraliza's (formerly Chimeca's) long isolation made it impossible to sell any surplus, and not everything can be recycled or stockpiled.

=Joint Chief of Air Force, Sea-Ocean & Space Fleet 'Liutenant'="Thank you. May I show you the most important places in the City of Free Sentients? It is one of my favourite cities, as well." Replied the Joint Chief. The Captain nodded. "Oh please do of course. We are your guests and a tour is always acceptable. While we are away, shall my crew remain on ship or will we be afforded some shore leave? I'm sure they won't get in to much trouble as most don't know the language, heh."

Most centralizan's have translation systems and many sentients - like me - have 'build-in' ones. We still have 'old style' people who work as translators if you want to talk to one. They are not that many thought." The Joint Chief pressed a few buttons in his PDA and in a few moments his hovercar hovered in, quietly. "This is my personall hovercar; considering the occasion, I think it is an appropiate transport." He added. The hovercar looked like a very advanced (yet somewhat shy) robot would use.

The jungles of Aatuylva gave way to vast concrete and steel towers, their guns tracking the airship as it moved, their secondary guns scanning the treetops.
The fortress-city of Accallia was seen, it's walls and towers, blockhouses and castles a startling grey against the green. Among them, the tallest was Tower One, a vast fortress that stood almost as high as the mountains, watching over the gold and bronze Imperial Palace.
The Governor wiped sweat from his forehead again.
Am I too short? Will they see me as weak? I really should work out more...
Age and a desk job had given him a spare cog, and there was no helping that...
--------------------
"You are cleared to land."
