The meeting of the human Diplomats and the citadel diplomats concluded after the language barrier was removed so that the two parties could have a proper dialogue.
The systems alliance had a firm stance on not joining the Citadel and instead decided to remain as an independent power, but would welcome trade between human space and Citadel.
A species that's been discovered by the citadel has never turned down to joint ever in the entire history of the Citadel.
Benezia Despite her best efforts to change the human diplomats' minds to join the citadel, she could understand their viewpoints. They recently just ended a Large Civil War that has left them exhausted through natural resources and manpower.
What little information she was given about the Civil War in scale and based on her interactions with the human diplomats the Civil War that lasted for almost 12 years devastation to dozens of worlds.
Leaning back in her chair Benezia could already predict each of the Citadel counselors' reaction to this a mix of shock, suspicion, and curiosity, but in the end, wisdom triumphed over it all after all taking their time is what the Citadel did best in the humans required a gentle touch.
But it also brought up another issue another race that humanity met before them something that would bring much trouble and fear within citadel space.
Picking up her Data slate She goes over the information. The humans had on the mechanical race known as NEX, Erase of artificial intelligence lifeforms from beyond the serene vortex, a warm hole that the machines have found a way to use for travel between long distances as well as having technology that is vastly different from the mass relays known as hyper Drives they function so differently from mass effect technology.
Having been a successful diplomat for countless hundreds of years Benezia knew that humanity would not give their samples of that technology to them without something of equal value despite the Salarian diplomat's best efforts to acquire the technology.
Before she could dive in more of the history of humanity and their interactions with the machine race which she found very intriguing when compared to the Geth conflict all those years ago.
Alarms are blaring and several commandos enter her quarters.
Commando commander: My lady, you are needed up there on the bridge.
Without saying the word Benezia made her way to the bridge with all haste with the commandos closely behind her.
Making it to the bridge, she can see everyone else scurry about in a panic Making her way to the captain through the mass chaotic nature of the bridge.
Benezia: Captain Letra What is the issue?
Letra a Young asari who's rising through the ranks didn't waste time with formalities, especially in case of a situation such as this.
Letra: My matriarch, we have detected several vessels within a few hundred entering the system they simply do not match anything out database, and the energy detected from the vessels does not match Ezo Signatures, What's a little information I do have is a possible first contact scenario.
It took but mere moments for Benezia The process those thoughts of a second first contact this soon this quickly never happened before, but then again no species had ever turned down Jonah the Citadel before, so this was possibly the first time something like this had happened back to back.
Going over the information she had on hand she could give an accurate of who's in the system, but she needed to make sure.
Benezia: Captain, do we have visuals on the ships?
Letra: no but we will soon within the next 15 minutes we will be in visual range.
The minutes took by slowly as everyone in the crew saw on their instruments that the New contact was getting closer to them when it became close enough they brought up a visual showing the different ships within the fleet approaching them.
Their design was strange never before seen, especially with those fins sticking out on the side of the ship.[machine race ship set]
Despite how strange the ships looked, they also had a slick appearance in other areas that made them look fancy.
Letra: all ships stay within information no one leaves and no one fires until I say so.
Letra used as Much of her authority as captain of the entire fleet as possible normally she would be an admiral, but since this was a diplomatic mission and several captains had to choose so in the lead, thus she was chosen to lead the fleet, not the rank of Admiral.
Letra: are people this? Is it another first contact prepare the first contact package.
Her crew followed her orders to the letter within moments. The first contact package was sent to the fleet that was approaching them. Still, it was sent the fleet opposite of them, started to slow down and halt to a standstill in space.
Communication Officer: ma'am, we are receiving a transmission from the new Contacts.
Letra: put on the screen to make some history!
The communications officer obeys the order, putting the transmission on the digital hollow screen.
A NEX Leader appeared on the digital screen, which resulted in several mixed reactions from the crew and the rest of the fleet since it was being broadcast to every single ship.
NEX ADMIRAL: Citadel fleet we the NEX have Come to parlay with you and deliver a warning failure to heat. It will result in immediate hostilities between our two nations. This is your one chance to prevent a war.
The reaction from everyone was expected shock, fear, anxiety, dread hate, and so many other emotions for the leaders of the fleet and the diplomats it made their job a whole lot harder.
