"Lupe Tiber?" Cassus asked, a bit taken aback. "The agent of the Marauder Corps Intelligence Branch? Or am I thinking of someone else?"
*** Qo'nos ***
Though primitive, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire - Chancellor J'mpok, received the telegram message, and managed to respond:
"Major Pliskin, this is Chancellor J'mpok of the Klingon Empire. I regret this message has taken this long to reach you, as I am only just now becoming aware of it. We of the Klingon Empire would be delighted to open up trade to your world. We are sending the first of our trade ships to your world, but they will be under escort, per protocol upon entering new territory. Please do not be alarmed - as I said, it is standard protocol. After all, we know nothing of the area in which you reside.
Signed,
J'mpok, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire"
*** New Romulus ***
Just as the Klingons sent their message, the Romulans sent their own:
"Major Pliskin,
This is President D'Tan of the Romulan Republic. We are delighted to open up trade to your world, and look forward to the opportunities. The first of our trade ships are getting underway as this message is being sent - however, we must send a small escort with them to ensure safety, as the territory you reside in is unfamiliar to us. Please, do not be alarmed - the Romulan Republic wishes no malice to you, and we have no reason to attack you. That said, I feel it prudent to warn you to be on the lookout for our imperialist cousins, the Romulans under the command of Empress Sela and the Tal Shiar. If we got your message, they may have gotten it, too.
Signed,
President D'Tan, Romulan Republic"
