Lochlyn's right eyebrow moved a quarter of an inch upwards before settling back in place. The man wasn't amused. Not one bit.

"Karl, was it?" Lochlyn asked, "I was clear in my words. I will not say more until I am with a proper audience. Your president, king, emperor, prime minister. That is a proper aduience to me. Unless the military is the real power." The man continued, making a shooing motion towards the crew on the bridge with him.

At least half began to leave, the other half still waiting to see what was going to happen. They were confused by the man's actions. It didn't seem to be in his nature to provoke a military power in such a way.

"Whoever is in charge, I want to meet with them. If not face to face, ship to ship." Lochlyn told Chairman Yanost, "The Janus is not equipped for war, only for it's own defense. Shields and small weapons for the criminal type with access to their own spacecraft." Lochlyn said, hoping to assure Yanost that the vessel, large as it was, was not a real threat as is.

"Sending specs over the proper channels now." A bridge officer said, sending proof that all Lochlyn said about the ship was true. "Roughly one and a half kilometers length-wise, nearly one as far width goes." Lochlyn informed the chairman.

"Only this ship's nuclear power source could be of any threat, but I hire the best engineers to ensure that it only does what it's meant to do."
