Minister Wololo,

Greetings. I am Johnathan Currey, Minister of International Relations for the Federation of Sentient Peoples.

I write this to you on behalf of my country, and of the Imperial President, seeking to renew our friendship that has died off as late.

The Federation seeks to renew trade, and perhaps inspire friendship, through face to face talks and through perhaps a cultural exchange.

We have recently seen the popularity of the Federation First Army Military Orchestra and Choir on the BillCo Charts, and thought perhaps that you might like to have them come and play in the Emerald Heights. Other possibilities are also viable, of course.

On a more personal note, I had my condolences on Prime Minister Cantrell's injuries, and my prayers to the hopes she recovers soon. If the Federation can be of assitance in anyway in the matters surrounding the attack, do not hesitate to let us know.

Your comrade in diplomacy,

PRIVATE TRANSMISSION TO MINISTER CURREY OF THE FSP:

Minister Currey,

Thank you for your kind wishes toward our dear Prime Minister. I assure you that her recovery is going smoothly; she is expected to awaken within the next few days.

With regard to your request, The SLAGLands is always interested in renewing relations with those with whom diplomatic relations have stagnated. I would be more than happy to arrange for the Federation First Army Military Orchestra and Choir to play at Murphy Hall within our capital city of SLAGTown.

You are granted clearance to arrive in The SLAGLands at your leisure. I will be waiting.

Very well, Minister Wololo. We should arrive tomorrow, if that is convient. Two vessel will be coming, my own transport and a dropship carrying the FAOC.

As I expect talks to last for a few days, at a minimum, perhaps the Prime Minister will recover enough to attend a concert while we are there, as well.

My wife and I look forward to seeing SLAGTown, as we've heard it is a beautiful city.

Also, are there any songs which would fall into the repitore of the FAOC that are particularly popular in the SLAGLands?

Early the next morning

"Come on, you, get those instruments loaded. We've got a schedule to keep!"

Ellington growled under his breath. I thought I told the esteemed Minister to give us a little time before we left. Damn it.

"You there, watch it!" Ellington grimaced as one of the harps was nearly destroyed by careless handling.

Damn all politicians.

Two vessels streaked over the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

One was FSP Eagle-class Diplomatic Courier Vessel 001, and the other was a Buffalo-class (Mark 3 Unarmed) military dropship.

From the diplomatic courier a transmission speared outward. "SLAGTown Air Traffic Control, this is the Federation of Sentient Peoples Diplomatic delegation. We request landing clearance and coordinates."

Currey watched the waves go by on the view screen with great interest. He loved traveling at this speed. No more twelve hour flights from one side of the world to the other.

S.P.S. DCV001 settled into a holding pattern, drive field calmly sending it circling as it awaited clearance to land.

The crew respected the ATC's abilty to put them in this holding pattern, it was a complex jump, making sure all the airtraffic did not bump into each other with unfortunate consequences.

The dropship settled in behind, closely following as they awaited landing clearance.

The two ships settled onto the tarmac at the SLAGTown International Airport.

Johnathen Currey and his wife came out of the shuttle, wearing formal, but not overly so, clothing.

They were joined by Captain Ellington, from the dropship, as they awaited whoever the had been sent to meet them, presumably Minister Wololo, but it was unclear, due to the recent election. Currey wasn't precisely sure how such a democratic process worked for the SLAGLands.

And so, he waited, arm around his wife's waist.
