IC: Cooper nodded politely to Wellington. “Thank you very much for receiving us,” it said in its mellow, vaguely aristocratic voice. He and Li boarded the diplomatic transport behind the Mandalorians and settled themselves in its sumptuous interior. They adjusted themselves slightly as the transport pulled away; Li smoothed a slight wrinkle out of his olive green summer suit and Cooper brushed a nonexistent piece of lint from his highly polished knee. As they completed these irrelevant little tasks, they introduced themselves.
Or rather, Li introduced them. “My name is Francis Li, and this is my associate, Cooper.” A small wave from the machine at this last. “We have traveled to your fine planet in the capacity of specially empowered envoys of Conquest Incorporated.” The human smiled wryly. “If you have not heard of us, it fails to rankle. Our profile has remained somewhat… low, in recent history. A condition we hope to modify somewhat, as a result of the business we are conducting today.”
“It would hardly be seemly for us to begin discussing that business while in transit to your offices,” the artificial intelligence intoned. “But we assure you that it will be quite lucrative.”
