[b]Lakfakalle Orbit[/b] "Both of you are cleared to land, tractors are prepared for your arrival. For the Supremes, this planet is the capital of the Abh Imperial State, and its inhabitants will accept nearly anything you say. It should be noted that the proper formal way to address humans is by the terms 'Inferior Ones' or 'Shamed Ones'. Gender neutral pronouns are also a good choice, as some of our citizens do not accept their physical gender. Many have undergone transgender surgery, and they are fully recognized as their mental gender. Speaking to them using their original gender will not offend them, but it will be confusing. Also, whatever you do, do not ask civilian humans question about the history of their species, it is a sensitive subject only spoken about by diplomatic personnel. Oh yes, one last bit of advice. Unless you want to get into a long discussion about it, do not mention science to a Boskop." [b]Lakfakalle[/b] As the diplomats bickered and came close to an outright fight, a humanoid figure descended from the sky, wearing a white and gold uniform. It looked almost military until the figure got closer, and the uniform was shown to be much more ornate than utilitarian. The figure's long blue hair, pointed ears, and elflike face made it clear that she was an Abh. As she got closer, a dropship came into view and landed quietly with no wind, dropping off four others wearing similar clothing. One of human, obviously President Dmitri. The others were the Dolphin "Leading One", the Boskop Head Researcher, and the Ethra'Hirel Chancellor. The Abh came closer, floating using what was most likely a negative mass harness. She touched down on the ground, directly between the Triarian and Sazkarjhit parties. "I, Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Bœrh Parhynr Lamhirh, Empress of the Abh Imperium, formally welcome you to our capital planet of Lakfakalle. It is an honor to have so many peoples represented here, and an even greater honor to have the chance to prevent bloodshed. You may address me as either Empress or Lafiel. I must remind you that these are peace talks, and the point of them is to find a peaceful end to this conflict, [i]not[/i] to throw insults around before killing one another." She bowed, and the other diplomats greeted the others in similar fashions. The Ethra'Hirel had a different custom though, and their diplomat did some sort of triple-legged split.
