She's been assigned a small guard and is supposed to meet in neutral space with the Yemme, another race the Viperas have been in a bit of a cold war with for some time. She has two personal guard and a pilot.

Nereyn drums her fingers on the armrest and swishes her tail around absent-mindedly. She briefly recites the notes her mother had given her on the Yemme and the history between their people.

Known conquerors that work for the "collective good." Yemme tend to get in the Viperas way of trading quite often, but have never invaded as the living conditions are not suitable for them. "Because you are of Royal blood you highness. It is your duty." Scruux, her longtime bodyguard states with a low bow.

"I also do not recall the Yemme to be part of the Vipera Empire and yet we have not requested payment nor have we interfered with your traders." She places folds hands neatly on the table, and takes a pause to gauge his reaction. "It would appear we have an informal agreement on open borders."

"Vipera 'Empire' is generous. We are galaxy wide. You are, what, a planet and two moons? We have never invaded because your land does nothing to benefit us. Should you however stand in our way, whats to stop us from simply blowing you from existence?"

"Major. I'm almost offended!" she chuckles airily with a flicker of her forked tongue. "You assume our strength lies in the territory we have conquered by force." The Major wasn't incorrect, the Vipera occupy a single planet with a handful of moons and they were a relatively peaceful nation. However, they were a diplomatic bunch. Forming ties here and there, sending spies here and there... Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

It's not a threat, just an observation. I'm not the most aggressive in the collective, but you should see reason here. If you don't offer payment, why would the Yemme Fatherbox allow trade?"

Nereyn moves towards the guards blocking the door and signals for Scrux to follow suit. "I think we've concluded negotiations for today. Send us a transmission when Fatherbox is ready to truly negotiate instead of circling around the fact that you will obliterate our planet."
