Waiting for them in the Atrium of the Citadel were 4 furred creatures, all about 5' tall, and had rodent-like faces. 3 of them were dressed in what could be approximated as combat armor, although it looked to light to be good for anything but a scout, the majority of it white with detailing of the deepest red. these three were standing in a lopsided V behind the fourth, who was wearing what looked to be the same armor, but with red being the primary and white the secondary. This fourth bowed slightly to the delegation as they moved into view, and began to speak in slightly accented common without preamble. "greetings to you and your kind, SPECTRE. i am the one chosen to represent the Jalrathi people, Morpher Gerad Honzue. i apologize for my sudden appearance, but my ship was delayed due to some modifications being done to it, and i arrived at the initial meeting point somewhat behind schedule. i am pleased that we have not arrived too far ahead of you, as the technology we are currently using for interstellar travel is currently somewhat...experimental. my people and i look forward to a long and prosperous friendship." As he spoke, he studied the delegation carefully without giving the appearance of doing so. Most seemed unthreatening, and he marked the furred one and the large male with what was obviously an animal companion and friend as those he would consider highly for treaties with his people. as his eyes settled on the tall female that practically exuded a sense of confidence that everything she saw was hers if she willed it to be, his pose stiffened slightly in moderate distrust, although he could not place why that sense had come over him. he moved to introduce himself to the other delegates, noting that most had a more...comprehensive guard than that which he had brought with him.
