[quote=@Apple] The 4 men return outside. Another one is quite stern in saying, "You are all under arrest under the Prohibited Weapons Act. Limited rights are affored to you. You will be detained until a military court hearing is arranged." Two large helicopters can be seen approaching. The ufo crew are put on board them, and are headed for the capital Tro City. [/quote] "What? This is an outrage! A violation of the principles of free trade! How are we supposed to know your laws? We just got here!" the pilot protests, aghast. Despite that they make little resistance as they board the helicopters. [quote=@Aceofreality] The Yahupi leader of this group snorted slightly. "Step aside from the craft, and my 2 guards will escort you to another location." he said, and 2 guards walked up to them, ready to take them...somewhere else... _ The delegates agree to this tour however some of them are a little cautious to go inside an unknown craft like this. "What sort of stuff do you have?" one of them asked. [/quote] The pilot tries to protest, but the two guards convince him otherwise. The crew begrudgingly lets the guards escort them. In Federation territory: "Why, we have precious gems and rare metals, as well as technology beyond you can believe! Ok, if you don't want to come in, we'll bring our goods to you! But what do you have to offer in return?" ------------- Meanwhile back in the colony, the shadow was expecting the latest report from the various delegations, when several figures walk into the room. "Sister... What news do you have?" demanded the shadow. A figure replied, with a somewhat distorted voice, A second figure brought up a hologram of the planet in her hand and highlighted the factions. The shadow walked over to the hologram, dimly illuminating the shadow's face. "Simple," they answered. "We can just force them into submission. Send an elite team to extract the merchants and destroy the evidence. Then carpet bomb one of their military bases." yet another figure replied nervously. The shadow pulled out a cigar that was hanging in his mouth. "Everyone other than one, leave now." After most of the figures left, the shadow started yelling in extremely accented English, almost as if it was another language. Anyone else would have wondered why the shadow turned off their universal translator, but the figures knew exactly why.
