When Neptune had first meet Amdassador Ventaur he wasn’t quite sure what to expect. That meeting was short, but very useful for Neptune.

The doors slid open and Neptune stepped inside the large office.

 

“Welcome, Ambassador Rex,” Ventaur said wiggling his antennae slightly. “Come have a seat.”

 

Neptune was a little surprised at the friendliness of Ventaur, but took his seat anyway. Ventaur looked the pinkskin over a few seconds before he said anything else.

 

“Now Ambassador Rex,” he started. “Explain to me why your government has engaged in this reckless aggression that has the universe at the brink of war??”

 

Surprised at the…quickness…of the question, Neptune was taken a back. Before he could speak Ventaur started again. “I see you can not give me an answer!”

 

“Yes, actually I can,” Neptune said interrupting Ventaur. “Self-Defense. This is not reckless aggression.”

 

The Andorian was a little surprised. “Continue…”

 

“With dispatch of several of our vessels to long range exploration, the Sol system did not have a capital ship protecting it.”

 

The Andorian was clearly thiunking judging by the movement of his antennae. “So you propose that this Challenger is for defense only?”

 

“Defense and limited exploration, depending on fleet deployment at the time.”

 

The Andorian didn’t seem convinced. “The Andorian government doesn’t and will not believe that this is not some military build up sponsored by the Vulcan government in a plan to begin a war with us on two fronts. However, for the time we shall not discuss this, besides I have an important meeting with High Command. I will be unavailable for further meeting with your, Rex, until two days from now. Until then you are free to do as you please, with in reason…do not give me reason to distrust your Pinkskin. Once I have concluded my meetings I will summon you. Now have a ‘nice day’.”

Two days had passed and now Neptune was on his way to meet with Ventaur once again.
