"The Intrepid accepts your offer to meet. We will move our ship in closer, but request transport to and from your ship for our delegates. The way our ship docks can be... Alarming. Our transport dock will be illuminated in green. Your shuttle should be able to get a visual."

The captain sent word to her second in command to prepare for a diplomatic mission and had the hull crew illuminate the dock in question. She would stay aboard the Intrepid, Tucker would bring along either an engineer or a security member. More then likely one of his old army buddies that was on the engineer corps, best of both worlds. She would send them in with only sidearms, but Tucker knew to hand them over before entering what ever room they would go into. He was a seasoned soldier, fighting unarmed was second nature to him. Of course Valori Faunus were never truly without some sort of weapon.

When Tucker received word he quickly went to find his former battle-buddy Tyler Cobb. The two had survived considerably bad situations, and he trusted no one as much as he trusted Cobb. The two would go and get ready and meet back at the dock indicated. 

Meanwhile, outside the ship, the hull continued to come to life for any observers as its expanded hull now began to sprout mechanical arms adding another nearly 200 meters of reach from any given point. Three arms immediately went to work on a fourth arm, the one that had been reported as being stuck previously. Two arms gripped the damaged unit and held it in place as the third arm made use of plasma arc cutters to cut away at the arm until it was free. The one of the two arms holding the damaged one now released it to the care of the other arm and movements that were too fine to be seen from a distance began to take place as the arm carefully fabricated and reproduced the damaged and cut out section of the arm. In short order the arm was reattached at the cut away section. Tests were being completed on the arm as the diplomats were loaded onto the Oblivion unmanned craft heading towards the Paramount. 

As expected, Tucker and Cobb offered up their side arms before entering the meeting room. Anybody who saw them when they finally took their helmets off were at first relieved to see the human features before taking note of the non-human features. It was just enough to be off putting for most normal people. However, Tucker's lineage of Faunus brought him through that of the White Tiger. It did not take much for people to notice the shaggy white hair the cropped up around his impressive white and black striped ears. It was true as well that he had a tail, sharpened fang like teeth and retractable claws, but beyond that his physiology was extremely human. 

Cobb's lineage brought him through that of the Ram. His ears were elongated and adorned by tufts of grey-tan hair, but more obvious then that was the impressive rack of horns that curled from his forehead. His tail was small enough that it was not visible in the space suit. 

Tucker and Cobb sat down where they were shown and awaited more people to show up. Cobb leaned over and said to Tucker quietly, "What do you make of their ears, if you can even call them that?"

Tucker would keep his mouth shut and not react to the question.
