[h2][b]Falul 'Taham - The [i]Immaculate Aegis[/i][/b][/h2]

In contrast to the Admiral, Falul was relaxed, having no inhibitions about speaking with Humans. He still found them to be a strange species, on the whole, but he was accustomed to them and familiar with their social expectations. Or at least, familiar enough with their customs to be able to speak to them in a professional capacity. 

"I am contacting you in regards to the current efforts to eliminate the weaknesses of our fleet." Falul answered, once again quite directly. "The faster-than-light capabilities of both of our ships are not adequate to the standards of this galaxy, Admiral, but yours could be fitted with one of this universe's hyperdrives. As I am sure you have been informed, there exist few, if any ships at this time, in this galaxy with a hyperdrive that could be fitted to a ship the size of the [i]Immaculate Aegis[/i]. Our most practical option now is to improve the capabilities of our existing slipspace borer. The scientist aboard my vessel informs me that this effort would be greatly assisted by your associated intelligence. An...artificial intelligence, as you refer to it. As I have been told, your artificial beings have been able to improve upon Covenant technology in the past, and your ship should be equipped with one. I request its assistance." Falul asked. He had explained his position briefly, and had made no effort to "soften" his rather bold request.
