The General simply nodded along as the other two spoke, showing his non-verbal approval at what they spoke of, the final and slightly deeper nod at their approval of the use of a more secretly constructed constructor ship marking the end of this chain. It was a shame the UFP did not want to join in on their endeavours in technology, but case-by-case basis could actually work for the Fleet's benefit if they played their cards right. Nonetheless, he joined in on echoing the opinions of the other two: "Regrettable, yet reasonable", he commented.

Now with most of the formalities out of the way, the Federation person asked whether there was anything more to be discussed before some 'signing ceremony'. "No, I do believe we are quite ready. We will have to decline participating in any lengthy ceremonies however... we are already behind on our schedule." The General was quickly corrected to know that the 'ceremony' was pretty much simply signing the contract with nothing added on top of it. Odd to call it a ceremony in that case then, but he had his exoframe shrug it's shoulders and took a look to his sides: "Anyone against this may speak now." Nobody spoke up.

"Good, we can get this over and done with", he rejoiced and extended his right hand to sign what there was to be signed. Of course, the other two would also be needed, but he could well start. Once they were all done, Creft brought up one more thing: "And then, as an act of good will between our people, Duke Rexes Virne of the council would like to invite the most capable of UFP's surface racers to join the biannual Fleet races. He has won them for a decade in a row and desperately needs worthy challengers."
