[b]Peace Talks[/b]
Emily spoke, apparent having been chosen as the main negotiator for the Federation.
"These are Peace Talks, you know, where we try to resolve things peacefully? As in, not by yelling at each other about how superior you are? Look, the Federation does not find the actions of the Makudan in any way acceptable. However, we are simply taking this chance to stop a war for the sake of intergalactic safety and help thousands of innocent species. If we couldn't do either of those we would watch the fireworks and then turn your former colonies into monuments about how horrific war is! For the Makudan, we hope to make it possible for you to cease your unprovoked attacks on other species in the name of expansion and instead find a way for you to expand peacefully. As for the Equiis Pact, we're trying to prevent you from attacking the Makudan for the sake of having a minimal amount of deaths. So stay civil and stop threatening each other!"

In the background, Fergus and Dmitri exchanged a surprised look at each other when the other diplomats mentioned the size of their empires. They began to whisper to each other, beginning with a comment from Fergus.
"Did they just say 20 million?"
"Yeah, and we thought we were the smaller nation here."
"Should we tell them?"
"No, let them think they're top dog. If we have to fight them then we'll want to surprise them. If they don't suspect our huge fleets then they will not be ready for them."

[b]Message to the Triarian Collective[/b]
A communication ship has arrived near a Triarian planet, the ship is covered in micrometeorite impacts and scanners show signs of drive system residue. It is clear that the vessel has had a long journey. The ship transmits a message to the Triarian planet, and it appears to be a constantly updating consciousness clone of Fergus McClain. Whatever the message, great care had been taken to send it.
"Greetings, first of all, you have permission to partake in peace talks. Second, I believe your nation wished to speak about a second-generation Draconian you found on an escaping vessel? Sorry for the wait, it's just that the existence of remaining Draconians in Federation space is highly confidential. I wish to begin this discussion by saying how sorry I am for the evils the Draconian Empire committed during the war, but this last Draconian isn't like the others. He was never exposed to the original Draconian culture by Federation personnel, and all interaction he ever had with other Draconians was closely monitored. He had no family to hide him away and teach him of the old ways, and we observed him every second of the day. He has never even been involved in violence aside from his escape from Draco and Colony 257, both times he didn't harm anyone himself." 

[b]Project Yuanon[/b]
[u]Project Leader [REDACTED], Lab 21[/u]
"We have mapped the universe known as 'Fath' by the Abh. Every Yuanon in our universe that is an open gateway seems to correspond to one in Fath. We have begun to activate other Yuanon in our space, and each one seems to create a ring of others in surrounding systems. Fath also appears to be a compressed version of our own universe, and the speed of light seems to be much higher. Our warp drive should work there as well, thus allowing extremely fast travel between systems with an activated Yuanon in them (Named 'Sord Gulark' by the Abh). Being in another universe, this method of travel would be untraceable."
