"My Lord, one of our rural colonies has reported an alien ship has entered their sector."
This news both excites and worries the Grand Lord. In his haste to expand the empire he has turned a blind ear to his military advisor and witheld from building his military force.
"We must send an emissary to find out their intent. Perhaps they are a peaceful race and would welcome an allience. But if they are a waring race we need to know as soon as possible so that we can build up our defenses."
The Grand Lord glances over at Jacob and motions for him to approach.
"Jacob, I'm sending you to make first contact. Here is what I want you to tell our visitors,..."
The Grand Lord fills Jacob in on his plans and sends him off in his fastest ship. "I trust you are ready for this challenge my dear friend, I hope you return safe."
Cheers!
