"Indeed. I look forward to meeting your Representative."
The vessel reduces speed to an orbital cruising speed as the minor vessels attach and conceal themselves on the outer shell of the ship.

A subspace tear opens and a small 250 meter long starship emerges near the group, pinging a greeting to the Rainboom before falling into formation.
"Greetings, diplomatic cruiser Tanderra, at your service."

"Exploration Observation ship ISAIGSS Lwtaqra. Your presence does us honour."
The vessel flashes the salute again.

"We are to take your representatives onto our vessel and land at the Senate building, we can arrange transport to our vessel in any way you prefer."

"I will board a Minor Vessel and be flown into your docking bay. If that is absent on your ship then an airlock would do. Stand by."
After a little bit a little bulge forms on the outer shell of the Lwtaqra as Minor Exploration Vessel Alpha emerges from by the command bridge. The ship releases from the vessel and flies toward the Tanderra.

A small docking ring extends out of the side of the Tanderra, waiting to accept the shuttle.

As soon as the UPRQ's representative is on-board, the Tanderra disconnects from the shuttle and retracts the docking ring, and then begins to lower into the atmosphere.

Scans are constantly being run by the Lwtaqra, which requests permission to send down Minor Vessels to better explore the planet surface. Peacekeepers prepare themselves to protect the captain from any possible threat that may be on the surface.

Permission is granted as the Tanderra flies into the lower atmosphere of Furnaz.
Huge skyscrapers reaching tens of miles into the sky come into view, ornately designed domes and statues of the Senate Building off in the distance. Millions of hovercars can be seen speeding through the skies, darting between the massive skyscrapers.
The ground is not visible, all that can be seen is more city.
"Welcome to the capital of the universe."

"Of the universe?" the captain kids, "and those Xenos back when you first came to Qro called us arrogant."
The minor vessels can be seen darting down passed the shuttle to explore the city, then disperse outward.
"It is an impressive city though. You filled the whole planet with a metropolis? As law we generally keep at least a fourth of the planet for forestry. For holiday."

"We have left the oceans untouched, and most of the large enough areas have green spaces."
The Tanderra floats down between two rows of towers and continues flying towards the Senate Building.

The peacekeepers power on their helmets and prepare to escort the captain.

The Tanderra's four landing legs fold out and touch down onto the Senate landing pad with a thunderous clunk.
"I would have hoped you'd consider us friendly enough to not require an escort."
The Tanderra's landing ramp folds down, revealing a door of the Senate Building. Two massive twelve foot tall power armored guards stand at each side of the door, their hardlight glaives held in one hand. The scale of the Senate Building is amazing, the central dome seems to stretch to infinity, and even the door is gigantic. The two guards simply look at the new arrivals, not saying a single word.

"Of course we trust you. But this wasn't my choice. The Federal District states the captain of a vessel must always be escorted when exited eir ship."
The captain and the peacekeepers stand aside, and a peacekeeper gestures for you to go out first. He says,
"Homeworlders first, sir."
