[The video opens to a man dressed in rather nice robes, with an electrostaff strapped to his back. His eyes are completely black, his face is carefully neutral but with a pleasant air about him. His hands are folded neatly in front of him, indicating that he has the device propped up against something.]

Greetings. We are Vector Hyllus, Dawn Herald of the Killik hive of Oroboro.

While finding ourselves on this world was not something we anticipated, we are choosing to look upon this as a learning experience, for the Dawn Herald's duties include exploration of the unknown.

We are also a trained diplomat, though whether those skills will be of use here are still unknown, and we do have more practical skills that we may lend.

It did, yes. It is a good quality in a diplomat.

[Perhaps being a Joiner also has something to do with taking this new situation so well.]

You are most gracious, my lord.

I never gave that much thought, but I can see how.

[He's only really familiar with Ravage, after all, and their personalities don't tend to work well together. And what he does know of Ravage, is that despite heading the Diplomatic Sphere, he prefers expansion of the Empire through conquest, something that Altair can't agree with.]

It is only right that I offer. I wish for the survival and well-being of all who are here, but especially for those from our own world.

[Sometimes he wonders if he'd feel the same way, should he have been taken from any point besides when he was, but... Not something he feels like getting into, really.

As for Vector still calling him Lord... He wonders if that's just habit, too. Or if there's something about him that suggests referring to him by his first name would be dangerous, even if he'd said it's okay.]

It would be nice for me to chat to someone from my time, as well.

[Adding in a bit of Sith-y selfishness can lower guards, he's found. Not that Vector particularly seems like he has his up.]

Truly, you are a most unusual Sith, my- ahem, Altair.

[He remembers that Altair said it was okay to address him by name instead of title, but old habits can be hard to break. Vector's had very few encounters with Sith, though he's heard stories. His training told him to behave a certain way around the Sith, for they could sense emotions and could be quick to offend.]

We would welcome an opportunity to chat.

The Sith exist to serve the Empire and protect its citizens- though I know not many Sith agree with me on that point. That I would be a protector here as I am there is not too strange, I think.

[Though he may truly be unusual. After all, only he and Marr seem to have the proper interests in mind, and many Sith are more... Singularly focused.]

... If it's difficult to merely call me by my name, you can refer to me as you have. That old habits are hard to break is something I know more than most others.

[How long had it taken him to stop bowing and scraping to anyone he perceived as being above himself. How long had it taken him to even get used to being called Lord instead of scum, or freak, or slave or some combination of the three.]

It an old habit, yes. When we received diplomatic training, we were told that Sith prefer to be addressed by titles and formalities, and they are quick to take offense to small mistakes. But we can see that you are not like that.

We believe that we simply need to get used to calling you by name.

Good to know that diplomats get training on that point, I suppose.

[There's some amusement there. How To Speak To A Sith 101?]

You can take your time getting used to it. There is no sign that we'll be returned to our worlds any time soon, after all.

You said you were glad to have someone from our time here. Does this mean that all the others from our galaxy are not from our period of history?

[kallig]

[He nods.]

That is correct. By my estimations, the other ones here are from three, perhaps four thousand years in the future. Give or take a few hundred years, I suppose.

[killikambassador]

Interesting. We hope we get to speak with the rest of them, for it may be fascinating to see a glimpse into the far future.

[kallig]

I'm sure you will, while we're stuck here.

[It does make him wonder, if they're even from the same point in time, even if they're from the same era. It doesn't really matter either way, he supposes. And he certainly won't be bringing it up.]

We've got a strange little community here. There will certainly be both time and opportunity for you to speak with just about everyone.

[killikambassador]

Do you know anything of this world's original inhabitants? We have not seen them yet.

[kallig]

We've heard from them, though nothing more than that. What little we've learned seems to point to them being perhaps a little child-like, though this might be because they don't seem to entirely understand us, unless we're very specific.

[Altair's overall opinion of them can probably be seen on his face, even if most of his expression is hidden.

It's definitely not a good opinion.]

[killikambassador]

Interesting. Perhaps we will have more contact with them one day. Until then, we are at your service, Altair.
