Aendri wandered up, but kept quietly out of the way, bowing his head to the Harbormaster, unsure of the proper greeting, and playing it safe. The only thing at all that would distinguish him from much of anyone else at the moment would be the sword belted at his waist. He kept to the side of the room, simply listening in without saying anything.
 
Mel would approach from behind Toshiro, carrying a small bag of things after having her main things transferred to the Leviathan. The Seraph flanking her but keeping silent as per their species, the patrician would speak up to Amelia. "If you don't mind my asking... what's the general opinion of the Elysians to the Lorath?" she asked. "I was curious to see their world if I could but not if I'd cause problems."
 
"The Lorath Species, and Elysians have had very little in the way of true contact. Due to current, and past events that made it very difficult. I would surmise you would be allowed upon their world however." Amelia said in response to the Elysian's question after giving a small nod to Aendri.
 
"Then I believe that's what I shall do, thank you." Mel smiled at Amelia. "Where would I need to go to get a transport to that place?" she asked her after Aendri made his statement. She wanted to meet a new species of people to see why she'd heard rumors of how much Yamatai hated them. She didn't think anyone deserved blind hate like that and wanted to see for herself.
 
"I will have to contact the Lorath first. Before all of that, I must meet with Kakutama Heavy Industries, and negotiate the Yggdrasill's overhaul."

Toshiro said, looking to Mel.

"It shouldn't be too much longer before their ships arrive."
 
Soon a Harvester-Class Salvage Ship emerged from Hyperfold, escorted by two Raptor-Class Expeditionary Ships. They were painted in purple, white, and silver tones, the KHI emblem emblazoned on their hulls.

The Harvester pinged the Yggdrasill, wishing to open a communications line.
 
Yggdrasill replied quickly and opened a line, routing it through to Toshiro's communicator.

Having a sentient ship had its benefits.

"Commodore Yuki Toshiro here. I suspect you are the Kakutama Heavy Industries vessels I've been expecting?"
 
A small tramp freighter suddenly emerged from hyperspace just outside of UOC space and requested permission to dock with Yggdrasill. "We have a delivery for this ship. Candles, medical supplies, and chocolate," a man transmitted over the radio.
 
Mel would overhear the communication ping from the frieghter and blinked a bit, that certainly was fast on the seller's part. She'd just placed the big moments before and now they arrive? Talk about customer service! "Commodore, that frieghter's delivery is for me." Mel said, brushing her hair out of her eyes a she looked up and over at him with a surprised look on her face. "I just bought a few things from somene who was selling them anonymously on the public network." she explained.

"I see...Hmm...the inspection of that ship would slow us down. it's best if you went in a shuttle to them and picked the items up. Then they just have to check your shuttle. Please tell me next time though, okay? I was a bit surprised..."

Toshiro said, tapping something into the communicator.

"I was too. I didn't expect them to get here so fast." Mel admitted and nodded to him and turned to head out of the bridge down toward the shuttle bay. "It won't take too long." she smiled a bit at him before heading out and down the corridors toward the bay, arriving there in a few minutes and shifted her eyes to find a shuttle take in the all the salavaged stuff. "wow it's really ...disorganized in here...."

That was because there were more shuttles than normally intended. She saw the standard four shuttles, Suzune's Shuttle, a Forin shuttle, and a pair of battle tanks...oh, and her Power Armor.

Mel would blink and looked at them all and laughed a bit, her little Antheodon was the smallest object capable of transport in there. But she'd make her way over to a standard shuttle and examined it for a moment. It'd take a few moments for her to figure out how to make it work but soon she'd get the shuttle door open and stepped up inside it and compacted her wings in as tight as she could to avoid scraping them. Taking a seat on the pilot's chair and strapping herself in, she'd begin the pre-launch procedures. "Well alright then..." she said as she got it going.

Toshiro sent a communication.

"To the delivery vessel. To expedite this, we are sending a shuttle with the original customer out to you for the purchase of the items. That way, the Harbor Masters only need to inspect the shuttle's contents, rather than slowing us both down by inspecting your entire vessel.

Mel, you're clear for launch."

Mel would send a visual communication back to Toshiro and nodded before launching out after taking a moment to read the manual. Luckily she was a fast learner and after a sluggish start, she'd get it to go meet up with the frieghter. Hopefully all would go ok. Sending a transmission to the KHI, Mel would inform them of the incoming frieghter and it's contents as well as it's intentions in hopes to avoid possible trouble. "Shuttle to KHI representatives..." she started politely. "I'm departng the Ygg to retrieve an incoming shipment from a business transaction, I will be glad to submit to an inspection after I secure my pickup." She said over the communication system.
 
The transaction went smoothly. An armed, brown-haired Nepleslian man with a half-beard and sunglasses gave the items to Mel. They all looked nice and brand new. "Thanks," the man said, before shutting the airlock.

In a moment, the freighter was on its way to the next stop.
 
"Ano...yes, these are the vessels you were expecting," A distinctly female voice said over the communication's line. "I am Naora Shichou, presently acting CEO of Kakutama Heavy Industries. Mr.Yuki-san, you wished to negotiate a refit, and upgrade of your ship yes? May I come aboard?" The voice asked.

~~~~~~~
When the Freighter exited hyperfold outside of the UOC's borders, closeby where the contingent of UOCPF Harbor Master ships, and Yggdrasill, and KHI Vessels, the lead Harbor Master vessel quickly performed a precautionary scan of the ship, before acquiescing to the request, with the stipulation that anything else would have to be reported to them. However, it would seem a shuttle had been launched, and the transaction taking place outside of their space. When the shuttle would return, a request was sent to examine whatever contents had been transported over.
 
"You certainly may, Shichou-sanchou. It's nice to meet you!"

Toshiro transmitted to the civilian CO, while sending a conformation of consent to search to the Harbormasters regarding the shuttle.
 
Mel would collect her new things and bid the traders farewell and began to make her way back to the Yggdrasill. But when she received notice of the inspection of her small cargo, she'd transmit a response to Toshiro. "What do you want me to do? Just return to the ship or wait for the Harbormaster to inspect my small cargo?" she asked.
 
"Allow them to inspect. I've already given them my consent."

Toshiro sent in reply.

"I apologize, Shichou-sanchou. One of my crew purchased some items and had them delivered here without my knowledge. You are allowed to dock, and it shouldn't take long for them to inspect the shuttle."
 
The Harvester tilted on its axis slightly, aligning with the Yggdrasill. The ship extended its docking port, and formed a seal between the two airlocks. Naora, and her three person escort stepped into the airlock, notifying Toshiro they were ready to board, and just to which airlock they were in.
 
Mel would pass through a scan from the KHI ship and the harbormaster to ensure that she wasn't transporting anything illegal. Once that was complete, the patrician would pilot the shuttle back to the Ygg's shuttle bay and had the ship help her guide it into a good parking spot. Soon she was back aboard the ship carrying her cargo with her back to her room to take off the ship while it was being refit, the medical supplies taken by her seraph servant to the medbay and put safely away. "I'm back Toshiro, you miss me?" she asked him with a cheery smile over a datapad communication.
 
"Heh, welcome back, Doctor. I'm just heading over to the other airlock to meet with our guests...I hope you didn't buy anything the Harbormasters found offensive or questionable!"

He joked, as he opened the airlock for the KHI group.

"Welcome aboard. I am Commodore Yuki Toshiro, owner and Commander of the ship."
 
Mel would just shrug a bit. "Not really, just some medical supplies and 20 lbs of chocolate." She said and walked with him to the other airlock to greet the KHI representatives. Mel blinked, having not realized how she towered over the commodore and the KHI people. She wings fluttered a bit as she nodded a greeting. "I'm Duplicari Melissiel Partheopaeus, the Yggdrasil's physician." she said.
 
A petite, comely girl with jet black hair, save for the bangs framing her face which were a vibrant hue of violet stepped through the airlock. She wore a cute little business suit with a skirt, and was accompanied by three people. One was obvious for what she was, a eight and a half foot tall Fyunnen warrior fully garbed, and armed, there was a man in a black suit with pin striping, black sunglasses and a sword that appeared as a Grosse Messer attached to his back stepped through the airlock after her. He and the Fyunnen remained behind the girl, obviously guards from how they looked about.

However, the third was another girl, standing a little shorter then the person known as Naora, around 5'2" to Naora's 5'4". She wore something akin to Naora's garb, but instead of a creamy violet, it was a deep blue. She wore a set of spectacles, and held a case at her side, her hair done in a messy bun-like hairdo.

"Ano..." Naora began, blinking several times as she looked from Melissiel to Toshiro before going to a full 90 degree bow. "I'm Naora Shichou, currently acting CEO of Kakutama Heavy Industries, a pleasure to meet you both." She squeaked before standing up straight again. To allivate any possible alarm at the guards she smiled and introduced them as well.

"My Fyunnen friend, and bodyguard is called Shrike, and the man in the suit is a clan guard, personally trained by one of my mothers, his name is Ashton." Both merely gave small, curt nods before looking ahead, and to the left and right again.

"And this is my ARIA Assistant, Rochelle. Ano...Mr.Yuki, we have business to discuss yes?"
 
Mel would look down.......literally at them and smiled in a motherly way, her gorgeous feature softening noticeably. It took all her self control not to squee and boob hug Naora cuz of how cute she was. "It's nice to meet you too" she said pleasantly to Naora and her guards. But she coudln't help it and squeeed lightly. "You're so adorable." she smiled at Naora.

"So you're Lorath?" she asked shrike politely enough, leaving Toshy to his business iwth Naora. "intersting" she said, flexing her white feathered wing a bit. "You're quite tall."
