[@Tyki] ((Forgot to reply to the sattelites)) "I would need to personally investigate any device that would be placed in orbit around my planets. Not just a model, every individual device would need to be checked and scanned thoroughly." Matt had more to say, but he was cut off by the broadcast he received from the planetary sergeant. Sighing, Matt turned it into a three-way call, as the Sergeant informed him of his ship's actions. Of course, such a response had been anticipated, but Matt had no time nor patience to deal with niceties right now. "My ships are not exhibiting hostile intent whatsoever. My ships are scanning your planets for weaponry so that if you turn out to be a threat to my empire, it will take less time to crush you." Matt stands, as he looks at the two holographic figures before him. "I own more planets than you can imagine. My emperor has lasted since before your race existed. The only reason you continue to exist is because annihilating you would be a waste of resources. If you turn out to pose a threat to me, however, then your annihilation is suddenly well worth my time." Matt holds out his hand, as a robotic arm hands him a cup of an unknown liquid, which he sips. "I will not enter your territory unarmed. Nor will I disarm myself in front of you. I have no wish for war, but if you believe I will show weakness you are incorrect. If you wish for war, then I can only promise that I will make your defeat a swift one." The ships respond, the on-board AI selecting the best method of response for the situation. [Our current task consists of extensive scans of each planet within this solar system, notification and classification of all structures. No military tasks have been issued. Fully authorized for armed retaliation.] The two drone ships seem to move to the bottom of the formation, moving into a low orbit over the most heavily equipped planet, as several hatches open along the sides.
