“Sir, the Korwrath had agreed to let you come aboard with one squad as an escort. They said all you need to do is follow the lights to the hangar.” The communication officer informed Idliss.

“Very well, prep a shuttle for launch I will be leaving as soon as I reach the hangar.” Idliss informed his crew as he began to make his way to the Welk’s hangar. 

“Captain Idliss wait,” Jok’tal said. “What about your escort?”

“I don’t plan on bringing one,” Idliss replied. “If I do get into trouble on board one of their ships there is very little one squad can do to protect me. It is better if I go alone, not only could it potentially minimize our losses, but it might also make the Korwrath more relaxed.”

“Very well,” Jok’tal said. “I don’t like it, but I’ll let you go. If something goes wrong however, inform me at once and I can launch an attack.”

“It would be better to meet up with Captain Ferak and the convoy. The information we have on them is little, but anything we can tell the fleet is better than being killed and doing no real damage to them.” Idliss said. "Still, let's hope it does not come to that."

Idliss arrived at the hangar and boarded his Rova class shuttle. As he eased the ship out of his hangar he thought about how odd is was to be alone, due to their numbers Illixians were rarely on their own. It was unsettling, but Idliss knew he had other issues to deal with. While piloting towards the Korwrath ship, following the lights as instructed, Idliss fastened a translator collar around his neck. The program had not fully deciphered the alien language, but it was close. Close enough to work Idliss hoped. He looked at his radar and noticed several ships closely following him, an escort most likely, but easily capable of taking down his shuttle. “Well, let’s see what sort of people these Korwrath are.” Idliss said as he began to dock in the Korwrath hangar.
