From: The mayor of Vertebre Partina William Redtail
This is the first time we have had contact with another nation outside of our own, other than the devilish Salnai.
We would LOVE to attend, and hope to see you lot soon enough!

Cinie smiled "Oh I am cinie, if you did not hear. As a senior member of the diplomatic corp..lady. I realy don't like the title... But yes I have children, all three grown are with cubs. Four his age, well about."
She smiled it was clear she was talking to Jackie "You will be quite the heart beaker soon, i have three grandchildren. I think they might like you."
Al looked at the child and put his hand in his pockets then shrugged "Sorry we have no credits, we are not from here...perhaps you should ask those in the car?"
This was true as the credit was not a currency in the currency exchanges, so what they diplomats carried was only diamonds and gold as a back up.
Lu knelling next to cinie, teerie females were very protective of children, it didn't matter who's.
She look at the kid coming in, Al clocked it.
Al looked up "You do know if you allowed your currency was on the exchanges I would be able to aid this kid."
Lu said to the child "is that true or do you just need help?"

“Th-Thank you” he said sheepishly before developing a cheesy grin, only to sniff of the air and look toward the Taur child. “Papa? The boy smells of gunpowder…”
Alexander nodded and continued to watch, reaching for his blaster just in case. “I know son… I know…”
The Taur grumbled and looked at the hands that were in Al’s pocket. “I can take foreign… please!” he followed him, holding out his hands.

Excellent! We will be waiting for you at the Hall William. Just remember, no overblown weapons, no massive amounts of guards, and no snootysnooty talk about how your nation is better than ours. Everyone here is on equal grounds.

"Where is he!"
"Oh calm down, you know Doran doesn't like helis."
"Well the little runt should've sucked it up and rode one anyway, we're late."
"Oh stop your fussing, I just got a call from the border people, he's here and on his way in an auto."
"About damn time..."
The rest of the delegation had arrived two hours earlier in helis.
Like all Aatuylvan delegations, it represented all of the major nations and city-states.
There was a member of the Goldtail family, representing the Lupine Commonwealth of Ai'lupitar, black fur and red eyes all that could be seen as he hid under a feature-concealing cloak, a Centurion from Haven, his gasmask and trenchcoat a stark grey against the colors of the surroundings...
A tall figure in a greatcoat, dark eyes and hair, leaning against the wall of the grand 'Unity Hall', was from Haverigg. The Haverigg people did not get along well with the others of Aatuylva, especially not the other humans, although not much is known as to the reason why. The other members of the delegation stayed well clear of him, with the Ryvuuli furthest away.
The Ryvuuli, vulpines, two reds and a grey, were all clad in white robes with gold and red trimmings, and they huddled together, talking in their own ciphered tongue. No Technocrat citizen learned the true language of the Ryvuuli unless they were indoctrinated as Arbitors or teachers, so it was as alien a language to the others as any other language spoken in Aluez.
Last, but certainly the most pompous, was the Accallian delegate. Wearing the red and blue of a member of the Accallian Royal Guard, but bedecked in white trimmings and gold, the insignia on his shoulders and the hilt of his sword spoke of his rank...Lord Commander.
The Lord Commanders of Aatuylva were a very odd part of the government. Both persons of military rank and major landholders, they formed a secondary council of advisers to the elected People's Council, and were more stable representatives of the people, not being re-elected every handful of years by the Council, allowing them some measure of long-term planning so long as they performed well.
This one in particular was Lord Commander Arnulhd Harkos, descended from the mind that founded Deep Patrol, and its current...director of sorts.
His greying hair and mustache hid a face that rarely smiled, but on this rare occasion he was.
The bickering between Goldtail and the Havenite was quite funny, as most would not expect them to get along so well with the young Arbitor that was transferred to Tyr so long ago...
In fact, aside from Doran, the only one who was missing was the delegate from Chromi, but knowing the Chromi people, he or she was probably already inside, seated, and staring at their watch, waiting for the moment to chastise everyone for not arriving an hour before the appointed time in proper attire.
Stuck up dogs the whole lot of them. At least the Ai'lupans knew how to loosen up at the end of the day...

Qunitie was stepping back Lu clicked this and pulled out a colourful 100 meep note.
She smiled "This will be enough child..more than enough."
She sat down and smiled "Just take it. I will not harm you."
The rest of the commonwealth group were acting like nothing was happening.
Al said very quietly "That vest is going some where make sure your people know to run...only when it's thrown...someone has the trigger out there. Don't spook them."

The Taur child smiled before grabbing the note and bowing, running off into the crowds again and leaving the group alone.
"Heh... crazy kid..." said Alexander as he got into the limo once again, sitting near the driver's window with Jackie in his lap. "Maybe they didn't notice his suicide vest... or maybe he was one of the mill workers... I don't know, but I don't like it"
"Papa? Will the boy be okay?"
"Yes he will son..." he smiled and kissed him on his forehead, hugging him close to his body as he took a headcount of everyone. The driver was busy loading their bags into the back of the vehicle.
“Heh… so I said to the Aatuylvan: ‘What, do I look like a wraithwolf or something?!’ and he never bothered me again” said a young wolf child in the hall, the council giving a few giggles and laughs as the generals remained silent, unamused by the child’s jokes.
Jennifer was waiting by the door, eying everyone in the hall as she wondered when everyone was going to show.
Liska pulled up at the hall and shut down the machine as she smiled at Doran. “We’re here!” she smiled before offering him a white rose. “For good luck”

Lu said openly "That child was wearing a vest. Find who would do that to a child."
Al inter vended in the odd tong "It might be custom here."
Lu said openly "I smelt explosive on that child, no child should have to ware it. I smelt it's fear, I'm going back to the plane as I will never, never be in the presences of anyone that would allow that. Al I resign and will stay on our flight."
Al shouted back "It has not been accepted but return to the flight."
Cinie looked shaken but tried to calm things "Jackie have you ever sailed?"

“Only on starships” he smiled and cracked his fingers with a grin still. “Why do you ask?”
“No, encase you were wondering, suicide vests aren’t tradition up here… this is the work of the Salnese, they probably took the boys family hostage and threatened to kill them if he didn’t wear it.” He shook his head slowly from side to side as he sighed softly. “This planet has been the pinnacle of Unitarian Hate ever since we arrived from the reports I am reviewing every night, I am tempted to radio back home and have a fleet moved into orbit to destroy anyone that threatens the colony…”
“Papa…” Jackie frowned and looked up at the older Fox as he felt a tear fall on his head. “Please don’t cry… people here probably aren’t as bad as most” he reached up and wiped the older fennec’s cheek. “Pleeeease?”
“Well we got party poppers if that helps” shi chuckles and smiles at Soldavini, flicking hir tail about in a happy manner. “Please, come with us, time is of the essence”
"Ma'am... we have trouble coming this way..." whispered one of the guards as he pointed at a child running toward them, only to get tackled by one of the guards, having his shirt torn away and the wires to his vest pulled out, followed by a tranquilizer dart into his neck.

"Ha ha. No, that won't be necessary." Soldavini said.
The incident with the kid almost made Soldavini pull his pistol. However, now he's happy he brought it in case something else goes wrong.
"And now I was greeted with a bomb. That's new. I do hope that won't happen again."

“Think that they will be nice people?” asked VP as she stared out the window, watching the clouds pass as their plane went over the valley, slowly approaching the city.
“I am sure VP, don’t worry about it.” William gave a kind some and reached over, placing a hand on the dragon’s shoulder. “Anyways, get ready for landing; I sure hope these people know how to handle a two-seat plane!”
The plane slowly began it’s descent from the skies above and headed toward the airport.

To: The Aluezi Council of Leadership
From: Holmbergsvanian Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Reagan
Hello there!
We've been having some deliberations about placing an embassy in your country- not like we're going to fly in some modular buildings or anything, unless you want us to. And we've considered that its in Holmbergsvania's best interests to support you, since you have supported us. We figure it would be best to establish our first foreign embassy in your glorious nation.
We'll send the best diplomats we can to your glorious nation.
Huggles!
- Alexander Reagan, Holmbergsvanian Foreign Affairs Minister.

Pulte Hneydolstan, Hcre, and Andertol arrived soon enough to see the kid get pinned down by a guard.
Pulte, who had been quietly hanging out for a bit while Hcre pulled Andertol off the plane (he didn't want to go because of an incident which occured last time he was here), smelled the gunpowder and seeing it on the ground after the kid was tackled and tranquilized was enough confirmation.
"I hate being right all the time", Andertol said, pointing, "I told you something bad would happen. And you just know that whoever that is probably has a backup kid waiting"
Pulte replied, "First, you're not right all the time. Second, it would have happened to me and them, not you."
"I am going to punch any kids that come up to me", said Andertol, "Just to make sure"
"You better not or else I'm going to pull your cartridges out!", said Hcre.

Qunitie grabbed Lu before she marched off and looked her in the face "I am your boss not a politician, you will stay. Listen to him, it is not like it was his government's doing....calm down."
Lu glared at Qunitie "Well why don't is people do something about it?"
Qunitie sighed "It's your first time on a mission like this...it is not a time to get emotional."
Meanwhile Al said quietly "We have experience of terrorism in the past and still a little that is on going. But you have to understand you can't just bomb them out of existence.. You kill one they become a martyr then they cause and ten more appear.
I know to it is unpopular to say it but you have to remove what makes them want to fight. The only way to win is to win hearts and minds and get the locals in that community to either trust you enough to shop them in. If they do that, don't make martyrs of them, show them absolute mercy.
But enough of this shall we go?"
Lu said quietly ensuring he was over heard by the guard "Quit the security theatre and I don't know protect your people properly. Like this was the best use of your time, perhaps you should have been would looking after that kids family...in fact why are all of you useless gits here not tracking that kid, or using your fancy tech to free them of that vest."
Cinie took Lu by the paw smiled at the guards "Forgive her she is young and her kind are very protective of the young."
Cinie smiled "No one has ever been charged with child rape in teer...they don't tend to get to court...The teerie have an old legal system and it has no death penalty but you harm a child....get the hell out of teer.
I don't know what happens but who ever put that vest on that child back home in any of the commonwealth would hand them selves into the police to save them selves."

From: The Aluezi Council of Leadership
But of course! If you wish to attend the conference going on, then by all means come along! Just remember: No extravagant bodyguards, no overblown weapons, no showboating and cockwaving about your country.
“Oh it won’t happen again General, I can assure you of that, now please, let’s go” said Redtail as shi padded off toward the entrance of the terminal. “Youyr limo is waiting outside for you”
The guards dragged the sleeping kit up off of the floor after removing the vest from him, carrying him toward an awaiting APC outside whist the other guards began to comb the terminal for someone with a trigger switch.
Alexander sighed and rubbed his eyes. “I can assure you whoever is responsible for putting a child up to suicide bombing is going to pay for this” the motorcade came to a stop at a red light as he looked out the window giving a smile toward a pleasant sight: a T-80II Hoverdyne tank blocking the road that lead to the seaport.
“Papa?” Jackie looked up at Alexander before blinking and looking at the tank as well. “They… built those?”
“Appears so son” he smiles and looks down at him. “Your papa’s design was used in a colony war economy…”
“Attention unidentified craft, please identify yourself or you will be shot out of the sky”

Pulte had a crate with him and seemed to be looking for the Holmbergsvanians. Andertol put his suitcase on top of his head, hoping to be less conspicuous and Hcre wished that they had just someone normal with him up.
Quite a while before they arrived, Hcre had sent in a message:
To: The Aluezi Council of Leadership
From: Hcre Tdapadarmigan - Cheif Mediator General of the Diplomatic Team of the Sudo to the Apparateur.
We would like to express interest in establishing an embassy, but also in becoming involved in some other things which we wish to bring up.
