“Hello Vochem,” Davis greeted as the four-legged, spider/wolf that was the Knights of Quenar ambassador walked into his office along with an Archon handler. Back in the day they never would have let the KoQ in the same room without an energy shield separating them, but the more powerful Star Force had grown the less paranoid they had become, though they still didn’t trust them. Hence a far more powerful Archon than Davis was required every time the ambassador needed to discuss something in person with Davis, and that didn’t happen very often.

“Director. What is the current status of the new Uriti?” he asked, sitting down on a stool while the Neo-level Archon stayed a step behind him and to the right, making sure there was no subterfuge involved.

“Stable.”

“Has the method of their evasion of the override been determined?”

“More or less. It will be some time before we can trust them enough to move them, but I’m told the threat of another attack is slim so long as they’re not interfered with.”

“We would recommend their destruction, but given the damage the Hadarak are doing to the galaxy…”

“No,” Davis said firmly, slamming the door on that line of thought. “You have no say over the Uriti. They are our responsibility, our wards, and our problem.”

“…but since the situation is so dire,” Vochem continued as if Davis’s comment hadn’t occurred, “and destruction is going to occur anyway, we wish to know how you plan to use them against the Hadarak, for we have no knowledge of them going into combat against them yet.”

“And I have no knowledge of your fleets going into combat against them either,” Davis countered. “If you have the ability to kill Uriti then you should be able to kill Hadarak. If you’re not willing to assist, why should I even bother explaining our strategy to you?”

“Your empire has grown large, but you are still young and there is much of the galaxy you do not understand. If we are to survive this we must work together, or there is no hope at all. We have a vested interest in the outcome, and since we allowed you to possess the Uriti, their use is our business.”

“They are people, not warships, and they will not be used as such. They will not be fighting the Hadarak except in self-defense, and probably not even then given that the Uriti are faster.”

“Not use them? They are the primary weapon we have against the Hadarak…”

“No, they are not yours. They are Star Force’s ally, and we will treat them as such.”

“Unless they have learned to disobey your override like the others, then they are your property and you can command them to do whatever you wish.”

“We won’t. And you can tell the others that for me, since they are reluctant to come themselves.”

“I speak for all the Knights of Quenar.”

Davis eyed him closely. “I wasn’t speaking only of them. You’re also here at the behest of others who do not want to show themselves.
