"i can allow this" the captain replies, firing a satellite into orbit around the planet, it slowly making it's way there so that it can be scanned well before it enters range of the turrets, the scanners showing it was solar powered, exhibiting no weaponry, and instead housing geographical scanners as well as a communications array, allowing for long distance conversations with the sergals to matt should the need arise. "however, damage to the satellites will be fined of course" the captain adds evenly once a firing path had been plotted for the sattelites, the material of which seemed to be a mix of an odd stone with organic qualities and a strange metal, the communications clearing up once it was deployed, making the conversation less about trying to discern what each party was saying through the minor static and more about actually speaking.

"we don't ask you to disarm. we ask you to remain non-hostile. at this point the best we can offer is a non-aggression pact due to your less than stellar attitude" the sergeant replies evenly, her fingers flying gracefully over the keys before the shielding around the planet takes on an unknown property in response to the ships' transmissions, showing that they heard all communications between himself and his troops at least while in their space.The sergeant sends back a simple message [define the purpose of the recon drones for further orders and allow a systems scan. belay extensive scan in favor of geographical scan. failure to heed orders will be seen as invasive and hostile. we give you privacy so give us privacy].
