Abadi's eyes are rolling so far back in her head, she should be able to see herself think. "Never before has your sight been graced by our presence, and never onwards shall a brighter beacon shine!" That's [i]la introducción[/i] you go for? Ego problems. It has to be ego problems.

She bets he's short.

But, while she's in the mood for it, Abadi also bets that's not going to be the real issue here. Shortly after the ECU sent out their first message, a second was detected- this time from the URC base. And then, with the guests arriving at the Meeting Place, it's not exactly clear where they're headed yet. To Abadi, or to the United Republic? The former makes her superiors happy, and the latter costs them their chance to sway early opinions. It's not really a choice- Abadi needs to get this Alfonso man here, now.

She could, she figures, just run down to where he's docked and greet him before anyone else can, then pressure him into coming along. But whatever his culture is, any human would read that as desperate. No, the better move is to get him to [i]choose[/i] to come here, willingly... like maybe...

Ugh.

No matter her title or her job, Abadi just isn't a schemer. Where is Tanaka or Heralds when you need them?

Tanaka is entering into the little Aurgian embassy, a nice place by his account. The plants remind him of "fresh land" back on New Hollywood, those places that have been terraformed since the start of the whole process. There's a smell and a feeling to new grasslands that doesn't exist anywhere else in the galaxy.

"Thank you most sincerely for you welcome," he makes a little nod with his head. It's not quite a bow, but just enough of one to pass if this is indeed a culture that bows at greetings. Can't be too careful at first contact. "I am Oliga- Liason Tanaka," he catches himself trying to use the old title. "I represent my people, the Earth Cultural Union, a league of mankind dedicated to preserving the ways and forms of Old Earth. And I already know who your people are: I was very pleased to hear Auriga's greeting to the galaxy. There can never be too many [i]human[/i] nations." He hopes, if in vain, that she'll ask if there are any non-human ones. Can't miss a chance to throw the Zetans into bad lighting.
