[b]Planet Tula, Head of Alien Research and development team/Equestrian contact[/b] The Alexandrian received a reply from this race, and smiled slightly. "We don't ask for military action, but mutual defense in case of a supreme invasion. We have reason to believe that they have taken or will take hostile action against our race." He then turned to three Victorians, and alerted them to signal the guards to prepare their escort. "Please, let us discuss a bit more in private on the planet with your Archmage. You can agree to nothing if you wish, but we shall set up proposals none the less, and if you aid us in this mutual defense we will even set up special trade routes for you." He then quietly directed a message towards the Emperor to prepare a comm link to the planet Tulan within the hour. [i] We shall do our best to discuss matters of importance. I will not let this supreme race no mater how much more intelligent out smart me.[/i]
