It fired up it's warp drive and flew ahead towards a nearby star system... that is untill they dettected another ship. They decide instead to drop out of warp and hail them.

<Broadband transmission>
This is the Transenian colony ship endevor to unideentified vessel. We greet you with open hearts.
<end transmission>

A large vessel came from around side the plaentoid. The vessel was white and metallic blue colored. It was triangular in shape when it finally came into view.

<This is the Science Crusier "Eternal Vigilance" Captain Lazarus speaking, we've receieved your message, what is your presence in this rather desolate system?> <End Transmission>

<Transmission>
We're an unarmed colony ship attempting to find a suitible uninhabited world. We mean you no harm, and if you would like, we could arrange a meeting.
<End transmission>

<"I see, well, we are doing a survey here in this system of the planet, looking for a fuel source called Tylium, however, since we have finished surveying this system, we can take you back to our homeworld, sending quardants.">
<End Transmission>

<Transmission>
Negitive. We have only one fastter then light engine and it's in the main ship, perhaps we could send a represeentitive to your ship?
<end transmission>

<Just a moment, hold transmission.>

Lazarus spoke with his other officers for a few moments before returning to the main viewer.

<We understand your vessel has only warp capable drive, however, this system is close to a warzone, and we would not want you to get caught in the situation, you may send a representative if you wish, however we will send additional escort vessels if it is possible for your ship to make it to our homeworld. We will send a shuttle to pick up your representative.>
<End Transmission>

<Transmission>
Acknowledged.
<end transmission>

The outer docking ports opened to accept the incomeing shuttle. As the shuttle doors opened they saw a single Transenian female hovering in the hallway. "I am Abassidor Ti, and I greet you on behalf of my people."

"Ensign Grai" The officer commented as he stood up from his seat. He wore a white tunic like outfit. "Please to welcome you aboard." he said taking a seat in the cockpit of the apache looking style shuttle.

The vessel left the ship and headed back for the science cruiser and docked just the same. Grai opened the hatch and exited the shuttle. Captain Lazarus stood present, waiting for the ambassador to show herself.

Ti stood up and smoothed her cerimonial robe, lightly she used her mental abilities to hover towards Lazarus as she was accustomed to doing. She bowed to him still hovering slightly. "I am abassador Ti. I greet you on behalf of my people."

"Captain Lazarus Mirus of the "Eternal Vigiliance" he said quietly. "We'll take you to our homeworld, please come with me." He said heading out of the shuttle bay slowly for the corridors that would lead them to the CIC bridge.

Ti floated along taking note as to the differences in their technology. Her thoughts echoed through the OneMind as she did so. She eventually turned to the captain "What is the name of your empire?"

"We aren't an empire, ambassador, we are Theocractic Democracy, we live in a rather isolated starsystem, but our Government is the Theocracy of Ral Ixshida, which is our holy scripture." the captain commented as he entered the CIC.

The room was extremely large, several people all around the room turned to view as he and the ambassador entered. "Everyone, this is ambassador Ti from the Transenia race, we'll be taking her back to our homeworld." He turned to one of the lieutenants.

"Officer Rei, spool up the FTL drives and take us home." He said walking around the dradis science console which was at the center of the room.

The ship seemed to slow down before flashing into nothingness as it jumped from the system. The vessel reappeared in orbit around a class M world. "Sir, we've jumped successfully around orbit of our homeworld." the lieutenant replied. Lazarus nodded and smiled. 'Take us down, and inform the Council of our arrival with ambassador Ti aboard." he commented.

Ti nodded keeping her observations to herself and the OneMind "Captain, I thank you once again for your kindness."

Meanwhile: the colony ship also took off to it's original destination.

"The Council is in session at the moment Captain, however, the ambassador is welcome to wait for the council session to end which will be in about two hours, I suspect it will take you that long to arrive from the spaceport to the capital temple." The ministry of information commented.

Lazarus nodded and turned to the ambassador. "Another shuttle will take you to the capital city of Shadout, the temple is at the center of the city and its massive, you can't miss it" he smiled for a moment as the ship landed at the port. "It was nice to have met you, I hope the council listens." he said.

"As do I captain." Ti bowed and floated back to the shuttlebay, she spotted the officer from before. "Ensign... Grai was it?" she asks

The Ensign nodded quietly. "Yes Ambassador, however, I won't be taking you, our ship must depart again to see if we can try and find some Tylium, Ensign Dresden will be taking you." he said looking over at the other shuttle that was prepred and ready to leave the hanger. "The trip will take about two hours, so please make yourself comfortable" Grai said as he headed out of the shuttle bay for the officers mess.
