**Action** "Greeting Party, and special gifts"

OOC- sorry for posting actions sooner, I know its annoying I've
forced us into this new location and nobody knows what to post!
**Action** "Greeting Party, and special gifts"
Blue Dwarf
<snip>
Amber skidded to a halt infront of Seymour.
"Ambassador Niples. Sir. Ensign Amber Cleavage-FeBuggure, tempory
security member requesting permission to join away team." She saluted
to Niples and waited.
<end snip>
Seymour was still in a daze about his severe `telling off' by Alotta.
"How dare she!" he moaned, barely recognising Amber. "I am the Royal
Ambassador, ROYAL Ambassador! The Queen could have her head… at
least I think its still legal for her to order a death sentence. Its
still legal to kill welsh people in Kidderminster cathedral as long
as its with a bow and arrow…"
Amber coughed, making Seymour look up. "Oh its you." Seymour said
disapprovingly.
"Requesting permission sir…?"
"Yes yes I heard, but I don't approve!" Seymour said quite
bitterly. "I think you're getting off very lightly after what you've
done, not just because you put peoples lives in danger- which is a
pretty big point, mark my words. But also what you've done to
yourself." He pointed down at her scarred wrists.
"I know about the drug abuse, and I bet your going to tell me and
everyone else that it wont happen again, you're over it, and you
might even be getting sympathy from people because it was so tough
on you…. Well a strong person wouldn't have let themselves get into
a situation like that in the first place…"
"But I've learned from my mistakes… sir. I know it wont happen
again, I hit rock bottom and don't ever want that to happen again,
do you know what that feels like?"
Seymour opened and closed his mouth in a fish type motion. "I still
don't trust you… and the only reason why I'm letting you on this
away mission is because it seems to please everyone else."
Amber sniggered slightly "I do believe that Captain Alotta's
decision overrules yours?!"
Seymour flapped his mouth again as Amber walked off to join the rest
of the away team "Does nobody around here respect my authority!" he
whined pathetically.
Aeron City- Outside
Away Team: Seymour, Captain Alotta, Amber, Dante, Jay (anyone else
wanting to be part of the team)
The group walked down one of the winding pathways that criss crossed
the city.
Seymour looked around, "This reminds me of an Escher painting" he
remarked.
Keats in the Endymion flew circles around their gangway. He had a
new ship and was determined to show it off.
The much larger Raven hovered above, and descended onto a floating
landingpad nearby, he was taking a few crewmembers on exploratory
sight seeing tours of the city, until an Aeron police hovercraft
gave him a parking ticket, then the same police craft raced after
the speeding Keats.
The team watched as Jack jumped an impressively long distance from a
very clean looking bar to the gangways they were on.
"It must be the low gravity" Dante exclaimed. And Seymour tested it
by throwing his mobile slightly in the air, then watching as it flew
upwards about 40 meters until it hit a massive ship that was
descending on their position.
The craft looked like a huge blimp, but made of shiny buffed metal.
The ship hovered down to their level and a small landing ramp
extended to the group. An Aeron with a fancy feathered had and gold
trimmed wings beckoned them in.
"This must be our proper welcoming party," Seymour said. "Remember
everyone, we're here to ask for their help against the rising
Hymenoptera threat. If we cannot get support then we will at least
ask to trade for some decent weapons, if all other negotiations
fail… at least fill your pockets with things from the buffet!"
***Back outside, near the Dwarf***
Three winged soldiers flew up to the midsection of the 5 mile long
starship that was parked in their city. They prized open an access
hatch and crawled inside undetected. In the dark damp and dirty
lower engineering sections they started taking photographs…
***Aeron Council Ship***
The team were lead inside the massive ship, and into a big
conference room where the crew started digging into the buffet.
"Look they have punch!" Jay said. Then spat it out realising it
wasn't alcoholic. "It tastes like Red Bull- no wonder these people
have wings!"
At the far side of the conference room sat five authoritative
looking Aerons and an empty chair.
Niples and Alotta approached.
"We are the leaders of the Aeron colonies, we are happy to meet a
new species such as yourselves!" the central one said. "And today is
such a special day, for it does not happen very often but we are
having a meeting with other Aeron tribes" he pointed at the other
leaders sat on the long table.
"I'm Seymour Niples, Ambassador to the Queen of England and Earth."
Seymour said stepping up.
"Ahh and who is the lady?"
"Captain Alot-"
"Never mind about her…" Seymour interrupted. "So tell me about your
culture. You have one Tribesmember missing?"
"Ahh yes, the leader of the Aeron-ogla. A tribe who live on a mainly
water-filled world. We have not heard from that tribe for 2 years,
we fear they were all killed by a Eniram attack. The last report we
received from their planet was about a big blue ship, must have been
some kind of new Eniram weapon…."
The man looked out of the window at the Blue Dwarf and wondered for
a second.
Seymour started to sweat. "How very… interesting!"
The Aeron looked back to Seymour. "So you have encountered Aerons
before, prey tell- which tribe did you meet?"
"I well… its hard to say… I don't quite remember." Seymour felt the
sweat under the collar of his suit, flashbacks of the Aeron base
being destroyed by an Eniram weapon which they didn't stop, and the
last remaining Aerons flying out of the Space gate and being picked
off by the Hymenoptera.
"We are here to discuss an arrangement…" Alotta changed the subject.
"-Yes!" Said Seymour butting in again. "We have had the misfortune
of meeting with a very dangerous race called the hymenoptera. And we
want your help in forming an alliance together to fight them."
The council discussed this in whispers.
"Mr Nipples…"
"Niples, silent `p'" Seymour whined.
"We are not in the habit of making war, but I bet you are thinking
because we are a very advanced race, we will have lots of very
advanced weapons…."
"Ahh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend…"
"Well, WE DO! We have some really nasty ones too!" The Aeron leader
boasted and started making gun noises.
"The price for them is high, we will discuss that later. But for
now, if you will permit us to boast then we can show you what we
have to offer."
"That would be splendid!" Seymour said.
The leader pressed a button and a wall opened up from the room
leading to a massive hall lined wall to wall with different hand
weapons.
"There's a testing range in the room behind, and for the bigger ones
you can get onto the roof."
Jack's eyes lit up and he was the first in the room rubbing his
hands like MP in a porn shop.
OOC- Hehe, this ones mainly for Jack because I know he likes to play
with weapons! Everyone else, you can leave the conference ship,
these people don't have alcohol, so they're in need of a bit of
corruption!
