Chloe quickly added her own interpretation, having the advantage of having available the analysis of every Var political scientist and sociologist in her species.<br/><br/>"This is an excercise in preventative diplomacy. Meet and greet is in this instance, I think, a polite way of phrasing, 'testing potential enemies and conscripting potential friends.' It is a consolidation of power of a galactic scale," she said, "though I have to wonder about the choice of meeting location. Does this particular station, and its complete lack of effective order have some signifigance? I was attacked shortly after my arrival, an event I would've expected the Council to prevent effectively."<br/><br/>There was the unfortunate duty she had to find the flaws in the armor of the Council, especially when it made them seem weak and impotent. SPECTRE was impressive on some level, but all in all, had the Var proposed such a meeting, it would've taken place on a neutral planet, where the only dangers would be the other ambassadors, thus reducing the test only to its necessary components, to give accurate results.
