The response from the Marcian vessel merely made the commodore blink as he muted his comm and walked over to another officer who was working at a nearby traffic control terminal “verify the ID of the Marcian vessel.” It merely got a salute as the ID was verified and the screens showed the vessel. It merely got a nod from the Commodore “Well, at least his ID checks out, better than his goddamn attitude. Tell the intercept squad too return” came his order as he returned to the command screens and comm, pressing the unmute button and saying

“LAS Aurorea, this is commodore Hayes, you are cleared for approach. Thank you for your patience in the matter, passing you over to a traffic controller who has your approach vector now. Hayes out.”
 
He closed the comm quietly, the commodore sighed sounding somewhat tired at what happened before a communications officer shouted out “The New dawn is inbound ETA: 30 minutes.” Hayes face paled by the last syllable. The New dawn was a specially designed naval vessel with the intent of protecting the President, her aides and the Security entourage which were assigned to keep her alive. A vessel which had been designed and produced in orbit of Sonra too her specifications as a vision of stability and change in Commonwealth ship designs. It had become somewhat of a tourist trap (being a one of a kind ship) whenever it was docked with various tourists now wanting a picture besides the sleek metallic hull of the vessel. The countdown at the top of the screen unnerving him just a little bit as the minutes begun to tick by.

Indeed the imminent arrival of the vessel merely got the single order from the commodore “Inform 2nd armada of this and tighten security. Tell the detachment to patrol the space.” He stared at the screen with the vessel ID showing before rubbing his eyes and adding in a more exhausted tone “Get me a cup of coffee, gonna need it.”

Down at the spaceport...

Yenna was staring at the small mirror just off the elevator as she applied the last of her blue lipstick. A sense of wanting to look beautiful but also plain as she applied the last and made a small kissing sound at the mirror before staring at the numbers, her small portable makeup carrier going into a pocket of her Ikajo. Her diplomat’s smile appeared, something which she had practiced alot on, although first contact was a whole new level for her, a single trainee diplomat (who had made a number of mistakes) now attempting first contact with a new stellar nation.

Then the doors opened and the reflected light of the starport, the heat from the desert and the three figures standing before her made Yenna blink from the sights before bowing and greeting “Welcome to the Commonwealth of Sonra, emissaries from the Kingdom of Everlight. I am Diplomat Yenna, your liaison with our nation. I trust the security in orbit wasn’t too... heavy handed?” she asked in a pleasant tone.
