[hr]
The crew of the bridge, from the helmsman to the spotter, even to the radar operator and communications officer, could only stare in amazement and turned their heads towards the Captain. Who herself was rather perplexed at the whole situation herself. Who would've thought, that in another planet, lightyears away from earth, that a creature that seemed like a dragon, that possesses all the magical properties of a fantasy dragon, from the transformation to the beautiful facial features. Would actually speak a form of language Almira could understand.

Not easily understand mind you, the language structure feels a bit off for her. But it's familiar enough, it's not Javanese, but more... old Indonesian by the looks of it.

[color=1A9D60]"Ini gimana ya si naga ini bisa bahasa Indonesia?" ("How in the world did that Dragon speak Indonesian?")[/color] She visibly questioned. Looking at the crew, obviously looking either confused because they don't speak her language. But the ones that has their translators on was just as perplexed as she is. [color=1A9D60]"Oke deh." ("Alright")[/color] She continued in Indonesian. [color=1A9D60]"Comms officer, connect me with the tablet. I wanna talk with the Dragon myself."[/color]

[hr]
The tablet buzzed into life. Quickly showing the picture of the Captain of the ship, no hat on, just her face on the screen. She looks rather surprised by the appearance of the Dragon. Sure she is enchantingly beautiful, but it feels a bit unnatural for Almira's very old eyes. Her skin's just a little bit too perfect, her facial features are directly proportional and symmetrical, without the horns and everything, she would make for a perfect runway model. But with the horns, well, she looks very, very much like a typical description of what a Dragon's human form would look like.

[color=1A9D60]"Uhh. Selamat... sore Ibu Galmira. Nama saya adalah Kapten Almira Gunnarsson Budiman, dan saya adalah kapten untuk kapal Explorator Thucydides, uhh. Mohon maaf ya, kapal kami tabrak di daerah anda. Saya dan awak kapal saya sedang sibuk banget memperbaiki situasi kapal ini, mohon ibu Galmira tidak marah ya."

("Umm, good... evening miss Galmira. My name's Captain Almira Gunnarsson Budiman, and I am the Captain of the Explorator ship Thucydides. I'm very sorry that our ship has crashed in your lands. Myself and my ship-crew are very busy repairing the situation. I hope that you are not offended by this.")[/color]

Now it was the time for Galmira to be visibly shocked. The Captain of this ship spoke a... form of Pataliputran, but it feels off, feels very truncated and rough. But nonetheless it is unmistakably Pataliputran.

[color=fff200]"I didn't expect that you would be able to speak the language of the Jungle Kingdom. But no, I am not offended by your crash. However, I would need to summon our elders for an assembly, for this is quite an interesting incident to happen. I am sure that the elders would be most accommodating to your current predicament, although I am not sure how they will truly react. I can however assure you that your safety is guaranteed. You might be considered as unwanted trespassers, but since you do not come here willingly. I cannot have your presence here disturbed, it is the Dragon's Code to be accommodating towards any visitor that has arrived here in accident."[/color]

Galmira wasn't sure about this whole thing. On one claw, she is handling this rather amicably, the humans from this 'Commonwealth' seems a very accommodating bunch, but on the other hand. She herself was not sure how the elders will react. They are ultimately reasonable, but this is genuinely a situation nobody expected.

[color=fff200]"I will have my partners, Gallius and Honorius guard your ship. I would like to talk with you further miss Almira. But I am afraid that this kind of situation might be out of my depth, perhaps initial negotiations between your kind and ours can be initiated once an Elder Dragon has come through, yes?"[/color]

The 300 year old woman's face frowned, her hand rubbing her chin as she pondered the offer. It is good that Galmira is visibly showing no signs of hostility, but having two dragons be right next to her ship sounds very dangerous. Like, ridiculously dangerous. Galmira has shown the ability to somehow shapeshift, and the Captain was not sure what other kinds of unexplained abilities the other Dragons may have shown her.

I think it's time for her to make a counteroffer.

[color=1A9D60]"Perhaps you can stay here with us Galmira. Inform your two friends over there about our arrival and make them send the message about our presence to the Elders. I am... personally not comfortable with the thought of being alone with two other dragons I am not familiar with."[/color]

Galmira, visibly intrigued by Almira's response, thought for a while, her hands making the same gestures Almira was when she was mulling about the situation. It lasted a good couple of minutes, but eventually she nodded. [color=fff200]"Very well, I will inform my two friends about the situation, and have them inform the elders of the situation."[/color]

She immediately transformed back into her dragon form, and flew high into the sky. A good couple of minutes of talking with the other two dragons, a conversation in a language the Universal Translator picked up on and is busy deciphering. And she landed back immediately, transforming back into her human form once more. [color=fff200]"My two friends are leaving for the nest as I speak. Would you prefer that I stay here or do you want me to be somewhere else?"[/color]

[color=1A9D60]"Umm... perhaps you can wait there for a while. I need to speak with my crew first."[/color] Before the Captain's connection suddenly went dark and she turned her face towards Sumiye. [color=1A9D60]"Hey, Sumiye. Can you perhaps set up a small tent in the meeting place? Nothing fancy, just set up a couple of chairs, a heater, a table, and we can have a nice conversation going. Don't worry, I'll be bringing my security team with me while you set up everything."[/color]

[color=1A9D60]"As for you Zoe. Can you come with me to the site as well? I think you can ask about the local flora in this region to the Dragon. As good as an icebreaker as we can get talking to this dragon, right?"[/color]
