Space around Parihaci held a calm peace. Traffic to and from the large planet going about as normal. Word of the Pirate Queen Kat's plans to capture the Almis Family had not made much of a stir. The fleet of her ships around the planet floating around for various measures of security, as even criminals needed it. The feeling of simple regularity was quickly rocked when a Flotilla of previously unknown ships dropped out of FTL, the aggressive arrow like ships seeming to brim with a violent nature.

Ships snapped to the ready, flying out to meet this new force. 3 Mosquito Hunters, 11 Virals, and a handful of Rhinos flew out to meet the Flotilla. The Behemoth of a ship at the centre, flanked by two smaller, but similar in appearance ships dwarfed the Mosquito Hunters, but it was the ships in front of these three that were the main issue. Approximately 30 ships in total and all of them looked specifically designed for war. The hundreds of small craft starting to swarm around the three main ships as tensions rose, communications trying to be made.

Edtoto stood next to the communications panel, wondering at what the person who spoke meant by recreation and refugee centre. Why would they need an entire planet dedicated to such an idea? The three gold bands around her horn glimmered in the low light of the bridge on board the VDTFS Jagged Claw as she contemplated this idea. Recreation... And Refugees... She crouched down on the bridge deck, rubbing her muzzle as she thought. Why would this planet be dedicated to both? Recreation and refugees were not part of the same branch. Of course, the refugees could be made to work in the recreation. She understood that humans were the type to have physical relations with each other for recreation, though they seemed to do so in private. Maybe these refugees were made to work in the recreation sector until their refugee costs were paid?

"Nadral N'Thyva... Please scan the planet surface for energy signatures..." She said, to which the commander of the ship just scowled.

"You do not have the right to command me, Zukan. Not on my own ship," He growled, crossing his arms. "Your specialized role on this ship is one thing, but that is a completely different story."

"I am well aware N'Thyva... That is why I said please," The frail, thin alien said from her position perched strangely. She was about to follow up when the voice was filled with a loud voice, making many of the vekimen on the bridge flinch and cringe at the sudden burst of volume. Edtoto just placed a had on her head, having slowly grown used to the intensity human voices had.

"Hello, I am Edtoto Nar'Sivaro, Zukan of the Vekimen Defensive Task Force," She said, her English practically flawless despite the strong robotic distortion her voice had when speaking. "I, along with my entourage, have been sent by our leader to discuss something of strong concern to us, that your people have been sticking their noses in," She continued, standing up. She was sterile in her words. She said exactly what she intended, and did so with an uncanny precision. 

"I have been advised to tell your people, that if we do not get an audience with the leader of this... Kaptain... Kat... The next time we arrive it will not simply be an emissary fleet. I apologize for such a crude statement, but unfortunately, I have my orders, and I need to follow them. I do hope you leader would understand that conflict would do nothing but expand resources. Resources that can be better spent on more fruitful edeavours..." She explained, rubbing at her muzzle again.

Edtoto just silently picked at one of her quills, pulling it out and twirling it around in her fingers as the human yelled, causing the bridge crew much aggravation. "Lower volume 93%... I still need to hear her..." Edtoto sighed in the middle of Kat's speech. The sound suddenly became far more manageable, leaving many of the Vekimen able to relax. Still she was happy that they had gotten a hold of this Kaptain Kat character. Her aggression could have been a little less, given the circumstances. 

Edtoto sighed. "I would strongly advise against hostile action towards a ship of my species making. Though, if you need an answer to your question as to why we used military ships..." Edtoto started, her voice trailing off as she pulled out her Datapad. "The Vekimen Defensive Task Force does not utilize Civilian tier ships. My assumed parameter of what constitutes as a Civilian ship is lack of Military offensive function. No such ship exists in our roster... Nore does anyone of our species create such devices," She said, putting the Datapad away. 

Moments later, video feed popped up, showing Kat a very interesting sight. Edtoto's face, cast in dark shadows in the dull red light that permeated the bridge. Her bacteria caked teeth glinting when said light touched any spot clean enough. She then opened her maw in something that could only be called an attempt at a smile, and it was both revolting and terrifying. "You play a common tactic, indicating your disinterest to speak with us. I was hoping you would be less predictable, but so be it." She said, her teeth clicking and snapping, that same artificial tone blaring coming through the speakers with a quality that was only dampened by the speakers on Kats end. 

"We understand you are hunting down a group of people known as the Almis Family. Apparently, you are the only ones worth any attention hunting them down, and by order of my Sraralumee, and the threat of violence should you refuse, we demand you stop. We will be taking the Almis Family into custody, along with the entire GSU population. Any of your people caught within the territory will not be shown mercy. Is that understood?" She asked, tilting her head coyly to the side, rubbing at her muzzle again. "Again, not words I would like to use, but orders are orders."

Edtoto stood there, seeming to think about the possibilities. Then she turned to someone off screen, but nothing seemed to be happening. It wasn't long until she turned back to the camera. "Provide the Vekimen with the Almis, and we will be content. I am transferring subspace communication information to the terminal accessing this video feed now. We will have forces within distance upon your capture, and we will hope you maintain that accord. Though, understand we are monitoring media outlets in the galaxy. If you truly are doing this for the PR... Then we will know when you have him." She said simply. 

Then she started tappin her chin. "On a completely unrelated note... I am a scientist for my people currently doing research on your species and I have discovered something of an anomaly that I do not understand. Would you mind if I were to inquire to that regard?"
