To the Hircus Ambassador:
Greetings and Salutations from the Sage Council of His Holiness Emmanuel Vulcon, Chief of the Council.
The ICH Gharl has been given coordinates to lead it towards the nearest available docking port to the Duskside Ballroom, where the Convocation of Ambassadors will be held. Please proceed with said coordinates, and a Service AI will be waiting to greet you. Welcome to Hame.

Once they were both strapped in, Starlight sent a command to the ship's automated systems, and the shuttle was detached from the larger craft. The communications with White Noise guided the shuttle to the appropriate hangar, where it touched down with a grace unmatched by the other diplomats' larger craft. A final test was done to make sure that the conditions were suitable for Storm's current body, and the door on the side of the shuttle hissed open. Storm was first to disembark, being closer to the door, and did so with a cautious deliberation reflective of the high gravity. Starlight was less careful, and nearly tripped in her rush to escape the shuttle's cramped interior.

ESS Master, I have sent you the necessary coordinates and path to dock with our shuttle-bay. The Sages will meet you in the Duskside Ballroom, and you will be escorted there by one of our Service AIs. Please proceed. Welcome to Hame.

(He does a respectful bow with his hand across his chest which is typical of Hircines to greet others. Leaving out the traditional head butt that would follow.)

Even the humans he was used to dealing with, who were certainly not shy about reminding the flametongue of his inferior status, had come to address him by his proper title. Rather than be offended by such blatantly incorrect behavior, the flametongue took a perverse kind of pleasure in it. The aliens' offhand mistakes reminded the flametongue of his place.
“Please, it's just Storm, sir. Parting Storm is what my subjugates call me. I will gladly respond to that name... if and when it becomes applicable.” He eyed the Haman intently.
Starlight, meanwhile, was listening to and recording the names and ranks of all the other Mind Imperial officials. It was far beyond a flametongue's capacity to keep track of that many relationships, the species having evolved in a considerably less social environment. But Starlight had no such limitations, and indeed it was part of her intended function to compensate for her leader's weaknesses.
Both the flametongue and the AI turned to look at the newly arrived Galactic Imperial delegation, Starlight's gaze lingering a bit longer as she memorized their identities. Neither greeted them aloud, however, and they quickly turned their attention back to their host.
“It is good to hear you lay out your intentions so clearly, sir,” Storm said, after waiting for the Haman to finish his introduction. “It would be an honor to enter into any sort of ties at all with such an... advanced civilization as your own. Whatever good or knowledge you lack – and we can provide – I would be happy to strike a deal over. But this may be difficult without knowing what that lack of yours is. So if you will allow me to be frank in asking: what exactly is it that you want?”
As the flametongue spoke with the Haman, Starlight listened raptly to the Emperor's speech. Despite her apparent incompetence, she was more than smart enough to see his words for what they were: shameless propaganda. Nevertheless, once the Emperor was done talking, the AI approached his party with the look of a curious child.
“I hope you'll forgive the intrusion, sir, but your warnings have piqued my interest. Can you tell me more about these... Jedi? What, exactly, are these foul plans of theirs, and how can I recognize them?”

Whitecloud wrote:“Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that. I had no idea you were disfigured.” At first, the AI wondered why any organic creature would choose to retain an injury for any length of time. Flametongues that got damaged usually wanted to restore to a previous body ASAP. But then she realized that the Emperor's appearance was probably designed to elicit sympathy for his side of the conflict. Those awful Jedi would even hurt an old man(!), she assumed the implication was.
Not that it wasn't working. Though Starlight's logical processors kept her from mentally siding with anyone until she actually encountered one of these Jedi, her emotional processors did indeed generate some sympathy for the Emperor. Crushing rebellions was something she and Storm had to worry about all the time.
“Thank you for the information. I'll keep an eye out.” If she ever did meet a Jedi, she would try to learn why they had split off, and what their true intentions were. But if it turned out that they were just insolent rebels defying the rightful power structure, she would have no problem turning them in.
