Aurolia
Capital City of Tanis
Starport

Large cheering crowds formed around the landing platforms just outside the main building itself, nearly all of them Beauty Power fans traveling across the city to see their ideals in person. In front of the cheering crowds were members of the Tanis Police Force forming their own perimeter, a wide gap between them and the crowds, giving their special guests breathing room once they arrive at the spaceport, all the while, the President had privatly arranged a landing platform to himself, some media crews and members of his cabinet, sans the Defense Secretary, who of course had an important, entirely separate arrangement. The loud roars and cheers filled the air, relieving some of the tension Caulker felt, nonetheless, this was an historical moment, after some time waiting, the President and his entourage had noticed an incoming shuttle, must belong to the Alpha Prime. "Smiles everyone." The President spoke. "Today's the day we make history."

"Let's just pray it goes smoothly, eh?" The Vice President, Teshan Hau said. 

The shuttle was lined with silver decor, it was simple, the way the Schäferkin liked their decorations.
Preferring to show craftsmanship instead of decorative plates and surface layers.

The multipurpose shuttle landed and with a hiss and expelling of gasses the doors opened with clouds of smokey water vapours and gasses shrouded the contents within from view.
There was a tense moment, especially when two exceptionally large and well armoured battle-born left the craft. With cold emotionless assault masks and combat armour.
Perfectly mirroring the other's motion before stopping and kneeling some metres in front of the craft, followed by the heavy footfalls of Raghis the second clad in his form fitted Schäferkin power armour, while actually smaller than his guards his presence was far larger.

When he reached his guards he stretched his arms to his sides in front of them. In perfect unison the two removed their masters wrist plasma weapons and placed them on their belts.
With that Raghis II moved forth towards the gathering of Aurolian ruling caste, a few were visibly taken aback by the sheer size of the 8,5 feet tall lord of the Schäferkin whom closed together with his guards, arms still stretched to his side.

-"Finally, we meet at last!" He spoke with kind words. He was nothing like the previous Alpha Prime. He stretched his massive still clawed right hand towards Caulker Juk for the normal human greeting which had managed to spread to all sorts of places.

Keeping his composure, President Juk extended his hand towards the imposing hand of Prime Alpha Raghis II, gripping as hand as he can. "Welcome most honored Prime Alpha to Aurolia." The Preideant said in an almost rehearsed tone, clearly he was practicing for this moment. "The most prized jewel of the Garden Worlds." he followed with an obviously opinionated and bias statement. "We have much to discuss my friend, please, allow us to relocate somewhere more private."

Raghis carefully shook the hand of the president, knowing full well he could easily crush it if not careful.
-"The same to you, honoured president of the federation." Raghis II responded to Caulker, he attempted a smile which wasn't really natural for him, but non-Schäferkin liked it so he tried.

The two battle-born bodyguards forming around the entire procession, only letting in known federation security personnel.

On most of the tv-channels the already legendary handshake between the two leaders had been shown to the entire world. It was the first time since in decades that a Prime Alpha had shook hand or had any sort of meeting on equal terms with another leader.

As the procession moved out of view on one of the more entertainment focused channels, channel "Aurolia 5, entertainment is our duty." the commentator spoke.

-"And after that legendary moment, brought to you live by channel five! We now move over to what i believe most of you have been waiting on! BEAUTY POWER!!!" The commentator was massively hyped up as the screen switched to a lander in the spaceport which now opened to reveal the pop band which had a literal horde of people cheering on them.
Moving along a purpur carpet of honour, security guards made sure the adoring fans didn't charge their idols with adoration.
However, the artists of Beauty power ran around and waved, blew kisses and shook hands with random fans. Even gave out a few discs with their latest album to a few lucky fans, of course with autographs.

Wearing beautiful silken cloth garments in nice colours, nicely covering their bodies and making one guess at what lies beneath.
The fact they are wearing clothes proving they are out to make an impression on their fans, since Schäferkin usually don't wear clothes. With overly fancy haircuts and hairdos, the members were mostly beauty-born, humans would describe three of them as poodles, one a malteser and one actually being a great dane, the group's fantastic bass singer.
All the while with the commentator describing everything in real time with his usual hype.
-"Oh i wish i could be down there and see them in person! They are even bigger than i expected, but you know what that means with Beauty power? That just means more love to go around!"

Following them are two defender-born security guards in protective armour, not actually powered like the soldiers. They were still over 9 feet tall and would not be brought down easily in a fight. But seeing the general mood, a fight seems unlikely.

After some time had long past, the two two groups had found themselves a private room to further discuss their diplomatic future. The President and his entourage found themselves in on corner of a conference table, the Alpha Prime and his escort on the opposite end, President Juk was quick to get the meeting started. "Alpha Prime." The President begun. "I must thank you for this rare opportunity to discuss the future diplomatic relationship between our worlds." He paused for a moment. "I think much can be done as friends and allies."

Raghis sat somewhat uncomfortably on the backless stool provided for him. Seeing most other races didn't take tails into consideration when designing seats, few places apart from Joord had any proper seating arrangements.
Luckily, the federation had been crafty and provided a comfortable option.
-"I felt the way Kalra and most the others were doing it was getting a bit old fashioned. I mean, shouting at a monitor and making demands for an hour is not really how i plan to run my rulership." Raghis responded trying to add a bit of sarcasm most other species seemed to enjoy so much. With mixed success.

-"For one, being in the same room already makes it more of a dialogue than the last hundred years." The Prime went on, it was visible he actually enjoyed studying the federation officials, looking at their clothes, their way of acting, how they moved their ears... which wasn't much.
The classic paranoid hunched posture and constant looking for threats so common for the Schäferkin could be seen on the two battle-born Prime guards, Raghis himself however showed far less of this way of acting. Appearing much calmer and sure about the situation.

It was his duty as Alpha, and most definitely as Prime. To be the source of courage, calm and reason in all situations. Even if terrified, confused or angry.

The President's expression was a positive one, his mandibles lowered, revealing more of his teeth, forming a "smile". "I'm glad we're in agreement." He paused once more, looking to one of his guards, waving his hand, the soldier understood the motion and placed a suit case on the table, flipping it open to reveal a mostly blank document. "Let us take the first step in our worlds growing closer."  He slide the document over to the the Prime Alpha, it was part Peace Treaty and Trade Deal, a good first step indeed.

Raghis took the paper and read it closely, he had to strain himself a little because it was so small in his hands. He read it carefully and thoroughly before putting it down.

-"I am uncertain about peace treaties, i do not want to be forced into inaction because of a paper told me so. We Schäferkin have a bad history with papers claiming rulership over our lives." The Prime told with skepticism while still looking at the paper, then he put it down and faced Juk.

-"A trade deal however sounds interesting. We both have things that the others planet has in more abundance than our own. The current small free trade isn't enough to satisfy many of the demands. If bigger ships allowed to trade, this would be solved." Raghis II was still a Prime Alpha, albeit being more open and free-minded than all the previous Primes, he was still Schäferkin.
And Schäferkin was known to be stubborn.

"That is..disappointing." The President said regarding the Alpha Prime's hesitance on the Peace Treaty. "Perhaps one day we may earn your trust in such a matter, perhaps even one day Joord joins the ranks of our federation. But for now, your approval of the Trade Deal is more then enough to be the first stepping stone between our worlds." 

Raghis just smirked at the proposition.
-"You have high dreams for your federation president Juk of Aurolia. But alphas should think big, that gives them drive and purpose. Only time will tell if your dream comes true." He went on politely, but for those who read Schäferkin body language well, the way he said it was closer to, yeah dream on.

After that a new deal was written and some of the details of the trade were gone over, what sort of vessels, how much and where and whom were allowed to do it.
Raghis made sure that the Schäferkin were allowed to check and control for contraband with as much authority as possible. While Caulker and his advisors had to but in and make the deal a bit more free, they also knew that this was the first big trade agreement with another nation in Schäferkin history and that they were very paranoid about people being smuggled away from Joord.

In the end, a rather open and fair trade deal was decided upon. While the military searches would be very common, that would mostly be a hassle for the traders themselves. Also if any federation citizen was found to conduct unlawful activities, it was decided that they would be sent to federation courts and sentenced according to federation law.
Much to the dismay of Raghis II.
