"Next on Animal Planet: when negotiations go bad!"

It was early morning for Shia Gen. The alarm had sounded, and she was up washing her hair. Unbenownst to her, a little visitor was knocking on the door.

Shia kept looking at herself a for a few moments before getting into her ambassadors clothing and opening the door.

Binary looked up. "Hello!"

She was dressed in her standard Unity robes. She'd gotten used to the feeling.

Shia looked down. "Binary!" she said rather pleased to see her, slowly sitting down to get a good look at her "Been let out of boot camp to visit me?"

"ah, of course!" Shia smiled. "By the way, I like your robes." she added complementing.

Binary smiled.

"Sorry about this."

"It's no problem at all" Shia replied as she picked up the bags. "So how is the Unity treating you?"

Shia smiled "that's good to hear." she said "So when are you going to become a sister of the Unity?"

Binary shrugged. "I haven't been told yet."

Shia smiled very clever unity she thought as they arrived at the church. "Well, I guess this is where I leave you." she said.

Binary looked up at Shia, as she put the bags down. "Thank you. I told Somba and Illy to meet me here...hopefully they're on their way..."

Illy and Sombra were coming down, with some bags. Sombra looked rather amazed at the Guild Station. Illy saw Shia, and bit her lip.

"Thank you for your help." Binary told Shia, before she, Illy and Sombra departed.

Shia blinked calmly before walking off to her office to go through the 'in' tray.

There was only one document - and on the frot was a big red "Confidential" branding.

Shia blinked and, after sitting down opened the file to read it.

The file was the result of a scout ship's reports. The dialog details a encunter with a space probe, which lead them towards a radioactive world which...fielded life.

Shia read and sent it off to prepare a task force immediately.

30 hours later.

The Guild task force had been deployed, 3 Junis and 6 Mars. The Guild were already drag sweeping the area to find them.

The Scout Vessel lay in close orbit to the planet. A close scan revealed its hull had eroded from extreme radioactive contamination.

"Lunar orbit." The Commander ordered the task force "Do continued scans of the planet and the ship." was the next order.

The ship had a few life signs, and the planet's radiation levels were unusually high.

The decision was simple, Shia would be sent down in a dropship to assist. But a signal was sent to try and see if any member of the crew was alive.

There was some response from the Scout Ship. There were approximately 3 survivors.
