When the the other Art Meks would arrive to the surface they would instantly all find their way to the library and begin reading every pile of information they could. Memorizing every single thing they read and never reading the same thing another Art Mek read. When it came to information gathering, they worked like an organized hive. Learning was the ultimate hobby for them and to be allowed access to an entire library of undiscovered knowledge was like a day alone. Na'sen oversaw them to make sure none of them overstepped their limits while he awaited any summon the Antivarians may request of them. A few Aaks had transported down as well to oversee the safety of the Art Meks, and out of curiosity of how the world below looked.
Ruse left the Ark Meks to their work. He had his own. First he had to go and present the proposed embassy the Ark Meks wanted. Than it was back to the tedious grind that came with his position. The Representatives had already been informed of the proposal. The debate was starting when Ruse entered the Legislative Hall.
Re'cas had the floor.
"The Embassy will be the first step in cementing a lasting friendship with the League. We need access to more information to fuel our own scientific research, we need trade to further our economy. They too are bound to need things we have. We need to have this embassy id we are to grow and expand our Union!" Re'cas gave a bow to signal he was done. M'kall took the floor to represent his party's position.
"That is all fine and good Re'cas, but is it a safe thing to do? All we have to judge the sincerity of these aliens is the testimony of sixty shell shocked and exhausted men. They, in there state, can not be trusted to make an informed decision on this League."
Ruse interjected, "If you are so unsure of their sincerity than we don't you speak with them? I can have the head representative down here in ten minutes"
The Legislature looked around at them selves before the Moderator, the Representative whose job it is to keep the debate going in a civil and timely matter spoke.
"Chancellor Ruse's request is granted. The alien dignitary is granted permission to speak before the Legislature"
A messenger was promptly sent to fetch Na'sen.
Na'sen received the message and followed him to The Legislature. He had expected this. Whenever once species discovers that they are not alone there are always those that react negatively. Not trusting the aliens, not wanting change, and clinging to traditions. He had read many examples of that occurring in the civilizations that The League had encountered thus far and figured he might know how to handle this meeting by drawing upon that knowledge.
When he arrived he scanned the room as he awaited instructions. He had never spoken to an entire group of persons before even though he was a diplomat. His experience was limited to interacting with individuals so this would be new.
