"Which we are heading back to. But that is not where their leaders are, so can they sign any alliance beyond a military one?"

I don't know exactly where their leaders are, but expect the move so no one else does as well.  We can establish where we'll conduct negotiations.

Kat just listens as everyone discusses the negotiations. She can at least talk to the aliens.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 909):

You come out of hyperspace at the outer edge of the asteroid belt. You are escorted in, passing the salvaged wrecks now parked all around the main asteroid entrance. 5 cruisers are still here, in operational condition, but several wrecks seem missing.

Kat, piloting roll please.

Gun Da Bin... have they moved some wrecks to repair elsewhere that we can sense?

Kat fly's the ship in "Well, glad I was not piloting one of those"

Katherine 'Kat' Steele rolled 13 using 3d6 with rolls of 5,5,3.  Piloting.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 912):

Kat pilots easily to the Dastavka to the landing site designated.

Gun notes that several of the badly damaged cruisers are no longer in the system, as far as he can see.

Natalie, make a point to ask what they did with them as an aside... sort of a curious question rather than information gathering.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 914):

You land easily and are asked to report to headquarters to report.

Natalie asks about the missing ships. It is no secret: Those vessels that could get the maneuver and jump drives working were sent to the main colony for work thete.

We dress and go to their HQ.

We acknowledge that getting all those "shits" out of here was a good thing.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 916):

"Not really sure how to translate 'shit'."

Perhaps through transliteration to Ship?

"Or were they shit or a ship?' she says with a giggle.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 919):

"Either way, translating it stinks...but it may not be a bad way to refer to Government ships, but they are not here now."

You have already answered a great deal... let's see what they need that we can provide beside the already identified technology. Kat can assist you with translation if that would help.

"Yes, I seem to pick up languages quickly." she says with a smile.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 922):

"Who do you want to conduct such discussions with, and where?"

"I will need to find out how much authority I have and then I would need to talk with someone who also has the authority to enter into a treaty." she says to the Labrysan rebel

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 924):

"Ok. Talk to me when you want me to set something up."

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 924):

You don't have any authority to bind Andrew, that is Natalie Sveltebody, Nikki Maya and probably Cyril....

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 926):

"Cyril and I will have to ratify any agreement, so you should work together to come up with an agreement."

"I didn't figure I had any real authority so Maybe I should translate for Cyril, then we could work as a team"

Well and for Natalie as needed...  she is the best at bargaining. But I will certainly join you if you'd like.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 929):

"By all means. I will stay with the ship and learn some Labrysian."

OK, Let's get dressed and going then...  He dons his protective gear
