Tech-King Roi stood silently Allui Station's largest docking bays. The enormous vacuum filled chamber was long and wide enough to hold two 1,500 meter ships and was lined with docking bays filled with hundreds of battlesuits and dropships as well as materials and tools for constructing brand new starships from scratch. Walkways crisscrossed around the smooth white ceiling and walls pocked with brightly lit docking bays, prepared for any Kyodain constructor to examine the various experimental construction projects too large for Mothership Shisoka back in the Lux Donum system.

Today was a special day. Roi turned to Tech-Lord Hiro, who was formerly in command of one of clan Kyodain's now dismantled Mothership Sorano (It's materials were pivotal in constructing Allui Station).

"Are you prepared for this exchange of leaders," Roi asked, his tone light and concerned.

"Indeed," Hiro replied, his voice wavered slightly.

Roi chose not to push it any farther as the pair waited for the Npherian Envoy to arrive.

A small fleet warp into view. Stream flowed from the ships as their engines cooled down from warp. There within the middle of the small fleet, is a very large ship. A flagship for high commanding officers.The MC 401S Elite Assault Cruiser, the largest ship made by the Nypherian Empire. Ranging to 2,500 meter, around the ship are AC B12C Cruiser Class Frigate's and, AC G20C Cruiser Class Frigate's. A small escort had left the larger ship. A carrier and two fighters. The ships flew towards the hangar. The carrier ship flew slowly into the hangar and the fighters broke off from the escort and flew back towards the fleet.

The drop ship landed and the hangar doors of the ship opened. 6 men walked out of the ship. Two of them were obviously Officers and the other four men were cybernetics. They had gone through a change and looked different from the last time the Kyodain's had seen them. Two two officers saluted their allies and shook hands. "We haven't met. My name is Grand Admiral Gordon Malik and this is Grand Marshal Wyatt Graydon. Our leader, Lord Srox, thought this would be appropriate in bringing high command to our exchange. "

A number of Nypherian ships appeared to shift into in the space beyond the gigantic hangar bay. Only the smallest of the fleet could have hoped to fit in Kyodain's largest docking bays. Instead, a comparatively microscopic dropship popped out of the largest Nypherian ship. It glided down the immense docking bay and almost perfectly landed alongside Tech-King Roi and Tech-Lord Hiro. Six individuals walked down the boarding ramp. Four were clearly the robotic individuals the Nypherians were recognized for. Two others appeared more organic, clearly they were the officers intended to be traded for Hiro. They introduced themselves as Grand Admiral Gordon Malik and Marshal Watt Grayson. High ranking leaders of the Nypherian Empire.

"We had not expected individuals of such high status to take part in our exchange," Roi replied pleasantly. A slight twinge of surprise was apparent in his throat. He motioned towards Hiro. "This is Tech-Lord Hiro, former leader of the Kyodain Mothership used to construct our Allui Station. He is greatly looking forward to working with you, friend Nypherians." Hiro stepped forward and bowed formally.

The Grand Mashal didn't say anything. He looked around at the hangar, inspecting everything. He had been letting Gran Admiral do the talking.Hoever, once the Roi showed shock at how high the ranking officers had been, he smirked. "Lord Srox thought that having high officials would benefit this exchange in many way. The other officers are currently involved in conflict on the Darkness and Asmodian fronts. There is also a chance that Lord Srox, herself, might show up." he said as they walked deeper into the hangar. Indeed, she might show up. Since the alliance between the Nations happened when she wasn't in power. It only felt appropriate that she come.

The docking ship lifted up and slowly left the hangar. The Cybernetic escorts stood right next to the two officers. Staying right behind them, they kept their eyes on them. The docking ship had now boarded with the larger Nypherian ship.

First two incredibly high ranking officers of a massive empire across the galaxy visit Kyodain's comparatively microscopic holdings in a small corner of the galaxy. Perhaps it meant the Nypherians had high hopes for Kyodain. Tech-King Roi was pleasantly surprised. He managed to hide his surprise at the mention of the Nypherian's leader potentially visiting as well.

"If you would not mind, we will give you a tour of the station to familiarize yourself with your home." Roi motioned for Tech-Lord Hiro to take the lead. Hiro guided the group across a glass and metallic bridge near the top of Allui Station's vast public outer ring. Aliens from various nearby races were bustling mostly near the public docking bays, though it was the dark season on many of the more prominent worlds and marketable goods were in comparatively low supply. The bridge traveled through several dozen meters of bulkhead before reaching a door.

"The outer ring was built with materials found within the system," Hiro explained, "Our station's core is the more impressive undertaking" Roi pressed a button near a side panel, revealing brightly lit circular room which appeared to stretch from the bottom to the top of the station. Hundreds of entryways lined the sides with construction suits and utility drones casually floating up and down the central shaft. "Each of these doorways either provides us housing and utilities, or access to our factories and farms. Hiro and Roi stepped into a turbolift and motioned for the Nypherian officers to join them. "This will take you to the command center in the core, if you wish to follow."

The information is interesting. What had been more intriguing is that how they were able to build this station. The sacrifice these people had to make to finally have a place to call home, it is interesting. The two Nypherian Officers followed their tour guide and listened intently. Grand Admiral Gordon Malik stopped and raised two fingers to his ear. He had received information from Admiral Koff about the war effort in Scorix. "Grand Marshal, update from Admiral Koff, the land invasion has begun. Forces are pushing back the Asmodians as we speak" he whispered to the Grand Marshal.

The Grand Marshal cleared his throat but nodded his approval of the information. "Excuse me, with this exchange program, what would you have us do? The terms were very vague on the documents we had received." Wyatt had said as they followed the group onto the turbo-lift.

Roi did a mental facepalm as the nypherian officers voiced their concerns of the nature to their exchange program. The intention had been to discuss the terms then and there, but Roi had gotten impatient and ahead of himself. However, the Tech-King betrayed no emotion or suggestion that he had been thrown off guard.

"Of course," Tech-King Roi replied cheerfully, "We had missed the opportunity to discuss the nature of our exchange program." He paused for a moment to recall the details he had in mind. "Kyodain's suggestion is to do a direct transfer of officers. Each will be given a position within the other's chain of command equivalent to what the other had before. These officers would work closely with their fellow officers and work as if they were not from the other empire." Roi could only hope that his explanation had been enough. For the whole of kyodain, learning the galactic common had proven to be incredibly difficult given the immense differences in each other's languages. Nearly all of kyodain failed to fully understand the point of using 'possessives' within a sentence.

"We noticed your conflict with the Asmodians," Tech-Lord Hiro continued, "Clan Kyodain would be glad to assist you with the conflict in any way we can."
