After recieving a message from the UOC, Toshiro smiled, and seated himself in the CO's chair.

"All ships, set course for the YSE/UOC border. Advance at 10,000c. All hands, we will be disembarking from the ship for an extended period of time after our arrival. Prepare to transfer personal items to the Leviathan or take them with you to the UOC or Lorath worlds. We may just get some vacation time out of this."
 
"Thank the gods. Vacation" Lyshana mutters stretching her wings, getting out of her position hunched over a microscope. She was very satisfied with what she was seeing, having shut herself up in the lab for quite a while to work on it, despite the... annoying commotions. (Telepathy) *YGG, please relay this to Toshiro: Toshiro, I've been working on a new project... Do you know if there's anywhere on planet where I can start up some sort of commercial partnership?*
 
Looking up from the partially complete, albeit greasy LAMIA, Dasanteki listened to Toshiro's announcement, hmmm a few days off. I'm sure I'll be able to find something interesting one way or the other, he thought to himself.

With a shake of his head he got back to work, hoping to finish the LAMIA and begin testing before they docked.
 
As the ships moved to FTL speed, Toshiro responded to Lyshana.

The Lorath are very industrious and capitalistic people. It's one of the best places for such things...though you might also like checking out the CSEIA if we ever go that way. They're rumored to work on....morally grey projects similar to what you've proposed here and there...
 
*Well, in particular I'm working on some pets to... help prevent a repeat of what happened last time with the whole hostage situation.* Lyshana says, continuing to fiddle to her workstation. *Thanks for relaying YGG. How are you doing, anyway?*
 
Mel would gather her things and her seraphim companion following alongside her as they began to head to depart the ship. Well that and using her armor's AI to have it autopilot to the leviathan for storage. "I dunno where I should go." she said, looking around. "I'm not familiar with this place..." she said and contacted thecommodore. "Uh I hate to ask but where should I go...? I've never been here."
 
I am fine, Lyshana...a bit curious as to what enhancements my body will undergo in this upgrade. I may be up to military spac once this is complete, or close to it.

Yggdrasill replied to the doctor.


Hmm? Well, stay with Yggdrasill if you wish to come with us...this will likely be a vacation for you, since you are not an Engineer.

Toshiro responded before speaking again.

"...All hands, we are at the UOC/YSE border. We may be boarded by Harbor Masters to verify our cargo. This is standard procedure."


A signal was sent out to the UOC, indicating readiness to cross into UOC space.
 
Soon the Yggdrasill would receive a conformation signal from within United Outer Colonies Space. And not too soon after that, a Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler, accompanied by a pair of Ayana-Class Escorts exited from Hyperfold on the border, mere kilometers from the Yggdrasill.

The request was simple, the Seiza would dock with the Yggdrasill, and the materials transferred over. And a Harbor Master would board the Yggdrasill as the materials were transferred, ask questions, answer questions, and provide information as was standard.
 
Sir, do you want me to stay on board, or am I okay to go ashore? There's some stuff I'd like to sell, and I want to look into getting a good power armor for myself.
 
Wait for a while, Aendri. We have security procedures to go through for the UOC.

He sent to the crewman, before sending a confirmation and consent signal from both yggdrasill and Leviathan. The pair of ships again transmitted the fleet manifest, to verify for the personnel aboard the ships what they were taking aboard.

The Harbormaster would be allowed aboard without issues, Toshiro meeting them at the Airlock.
 
The Seiza Cargo Hauler would dock with both ships at the same time. One on the port, the other starboard. The Yggdrasill, being on the portside would soon note the airlock was indeed being cycled, and soon, with a small hiss of a door, a Harbor Master stood within the Yggdrasill's airlock. Soon it too was cycled, and the figure would open the door, revealing the Harbor Master was a petite female with pink and violet hair done in a bobbed hairstyle, and wore the Peacekeeper uniform with the rank pin of a Sub-Lieutenant pinned on her.

She gave a soft nod to Toshiro before speaking. "I am Sub-Lieutenant Amelia of the Harbor Master office, and your designated Harbor Master during your stay in our space."
 
Toshiro smiled at the woman, wearing what could be considered casual but functional clothing, save for a rank pin.

"Yuki Toshiro, Commodore and Owner of the Yggdrasill Fleet. There are 7 ships, though one is inoperable, and 4 are actually stored on the Sojourner-class vessel.

Welcome Aboard."

The first odd sight that the Harbormaster would see were floaters floating down the halls of the ship. A few circled around her for a moment, then floated off, having identified her as having been granted full ship access.
 
*Yes... the upgrades... I really shouldn't leave you behind, I need to make sure that the techies who'll be crawling over you don't screw things up. The telepathic organs are somewhat fragile, and I'd rather not have to remake them....* Lyshana ponders as she packs some samples, and starts to head towards the airlock *But I really think that I need someone to produce these...*

Lost in thought Lyshana nearly runs into Toshiro, mantling her wings and flapping franticaly to avoid tripping him, and likely accidentally battering him with blasts of wind. "W....whao! Whups!" she says, catching her balance "Sorry about that Toshiro. I was wondering, will you be able to make sure the technicians don't mess too much with the biological components? I don't want to have to regrow them..." she says, apperently not noticing the harbor master.
 
"You have nothing to worry about regarding biological systems. As where the ship will be going also deals with biological components in starships, they're quite adept at it." Amelia replied to the Elysian woman before returning her attention to Toshiro.

"So, seven ships, approximately how many will be entering our space, and what is your intentions with those you bring?" She asked.
 
Dasanteki had finished with the part-built LAMIA for now, had tidied up the section he was working in and started heading for a quick shower and change of clothes.

After freshening up, Dasanteki was briefly at a loss on what to do. Finally deciding to head towards the bridge and see what was happening he grabbed his jacket. On his way he saw Toshiro with a UOC officer heading towards him, stepping to one side he bowed slightly and acknowledged them both as they passed. Cute, I love those UOC uniforms, he thought to himself with a smile as he continued on.
 
"My intention is to bring the Yggdrasill only, leaving the Leviathan and the other vessels here at the border, assuming that they are properly defended. We're here to have this vessel upgraded by Kakutama Heavy industries, and perhaps some vacation time as well.

I suspect that the Leviathan would carry those things that would not be passable into your space, but if it's actually clear, then I prefer to bring all the ships in for ease of control. They'll be largely unmaned though, have for the Commander, an Elysian Doctor, and her two newborn children."

Toshiro responded to the Harbormaster.

"We may also have some business to conduct with KHI and the Lorath regarding mining technology designs. It depends on their interest."
 
"Since our prior issue has been resolved, your vessels are allowed within our space. However, they will be protected as you have requested, and monitored." Amelia said as she looked about the immediate area, her gaze taking in all of the details.

"As for your business with Kakutama Heavy Industries, that is of your own accord. I am however instructed to tell you negotiations will indeed take place once you arrived at the designated facilities. As for the remainder of your ships, if you wish for the crew to depart, and have vacation time. We have a world suited for the task, and will provide free transportation courtesy of KHI as I was instructed to also tell you." The woman paused, and inspected something, nodding it off, she continued.

"Once the materials are loaded aboard the Cargo ship, you may continue, as the KHI escorts will arrive within minutes to take this ship to their facilities."
 
Toshiro nodded at this, finding it acceptable.

"Thank you very much...and when you say a world, which world do you specificly mean? I was hoping to also visit the Lorath Homeworld as well as others perhaps -- We have good standing with their government, and were invited to see their new homeworld sometime when they left Lor."

Actually, they'd even gained favor with one of the Lorath princesses, but he didn't wish to brag about the matter...
 
"Koukotsu II is a resort world." Amelia stated as she continued to inspect as she went. She held a hand-held scanner eying it everyonce and awhile. She of course kept speaking as she went.

"You are allowed upon any of our worlds, but, no weaponry will be allowed upon them. It must be left behind. As for the Matriarchy, I would contact them beforehand to announce your visit of course." Amelia explained as the woman kept up. She of course had checked with the Matriarchy and UOC Databases in regards to the man, his ship, and crew, even on public networks. He checked out, but better safe then sorry.

"The Lorath worlds are teeming with industry, as well as tourism. So if you wish to go there, I believe you will find it an enjoyable experience."
 
Approaching the bridge, Dasanteki saw a couple of crew members talking. Despite being onboard a little while he hadn't really been around the majority of the crew for any length of time. Knowing Toshiro may be a little while, he decided to join them, after taking a glance at the viewscreen and admiring the view he headed over.
