Arrival

[Ikhan]

 In the days that followed first contact with the race known as the "Akaata", much of the details surrounding the race were kept hidden to prevent any form of panic among the populace of the Empire. However, as the date of the meeting approached, it became necessary to give information on the visitors so that... attacks wouldn't be made. In this pursuit, an information dump was released to the public, information that contained what little the government understood of Akaatan culture, mannerisms, and their appearance. Alongside this, posters such as the following began to appear across the nation in the case that an Austrian citizen were to come into contact with one of these "Akaatans":

 During the meetings, a curfew would be in place so as to prevent any unnecessary contact with the Akaatans, simply in the hopes that no one would cause an interstellar war. At the same time, no one would be permitted within a five-block radius of the building where the meeting would occur, at least, no one without permission. In the end, it might seem that such measures were unnecessary, but safety is most important, especially in this situation.

Vienna, Some time later

  As the hour drew closer to the arrival of the Akaata, anticipation increased in Vienna, with many people packing the streets in order to see the arrival of the Akaata. However, after a few hours, it seemed as if they would never arrive. Suddenly, as many began to leave, a bright light appeared above the city before suddenly disappearing, only for a large shuttle to land near one of the crowds. Upon landing, a ramp extended from the shuttle as Austrian soldiers ordered for the civilians who had gathered to watch to disperse. Once the ramp had extended from the shuttle, a group of men clad in black armor exited the vehicle carrying intricately designed metal pikes, followed by an entourage of diplomats, servants, and guards. As the group walked, they looked around the city, not in disgust (even if it did pale in comparison to many of their homes), but with fascination as to how complex many of the buildings were, especially in terms of technology. Eventually, they made it to a large building in the center of the city- the Imperial Palace. Outside, Emperor Johan and a group of diplomats and scientists were waiting in order to greet the visitors. One of the scientists, upon seeing the group, left the crowd, carrying a couple of devices in the hopes that they might help get past the language barrier. Upon reaching them, he motioned for one of the diplomats to take them, which they did. For a few moments, he attempted to calibrate the devices, eventually succeeding with it. With that taken care of, the group approached Emperor Johan, where one of the Akaatan diplomats would personally greet him.
 "Shre'ta, Imperata Johan. Imperata Sutta Jen Taral wiate lata verise en gatra hesh ne xehu.. (Greetings, Emperor Johan. Emperor Sutta Jen Taral wishes long life and good health upon you.)"  the Akaatan ambassador said warmly. "Ival ere vrena exteyna te weratra xehu ne tre cipiar metrne. (I am very excited to work with you in the coming months.)" he added as he attempted to make the translator work properly. "Ival setra invraeta atne ne otren. (I suppose introductions are in order). Met nale ne Kal Jen Vre'sha, ambassatrena et nove worlen. (My name is Kal Jen Vre'sha, ambassador to new worlds.)" he said with a bow.
 "I, as the representative of our planet in this meeting, am pleased to welcome you to Vienna, great ones." Johan replied, slightly unnerved by the fact that they looked remarkably similar to Humanity. "Please, follow me." he said humbly.
 "Ival sentren thetre xehu atne une-vren be ota appeanatre, nia? (I sense that you are unnerved by our appearance, no?)" Ambassador Vre'sha asked as he followed. "Et ne undetrena, senala anea weval atne sinatreia ne menara wa'nea. (It is understandable,  seeing as we are similar in many ways.)" he added as they walked. "Thea... Thea frema ne ona oa menara, chisana te prenasa xehu weratra confetrne fre tre contresa. (This... This form is one of many, chosen to provide you with comfort for the conference.)" he concluded before changing his form into that of the typical Akaatan, yet with ceremonial clothing. Upon reaching the room, they took their seats and began discussing the terms of the treaty over the course of the next twelve hours. Eventually, an agreement was reached, the terms of which will follow:
