A special probe had been sent out week earlier, containing a simple mesage. It has now reached its destination: the midst of Sindri's fleet. Sindri, curious about what the defenceless and miniscule craft was, took it on board his flagship. Once there, the Drone intelligence displayed its message.

--Sondro Mor, I have been monitoring your actions in this system every since your forces arrived. I am Shas'O Ionus, of the Tau Empire, and have a ...presence... within the system. I take a keen interest in your goals, and the furtherance of them will greatly aid my own. Due to this, I propose a truce and alliance. Both of use have a problem with the Imperial forces in the sub-sector, and it would be beneficial to us both if we helped each other to eliminate this pest. I merely ask that you help utterly destroy the Ion weapons that, as I am sure you are aware, are defending the planet you call Septicus, and of which one of which has been towed to the planet Kelima. In return, I will let you have this sub-sector for whatever purposes you want it, and will vacate the system after all the Ion weapons have been destroyed.

You can communicate with me by sending this Drone back with your reply. I trust that you will find accepting this proposal extremely beneficial. I trust that you will find this to be for the Greater Good. Err, two things Shas. One is that I am not the commander of the warband. That role falls to the Chaos Lord Sakro. The second is that I am not in the fleet, I am on the planet below. Just remove all references to me with Sakro though & it should be fine. & by the way, we would most likely never take it aboard the cruiser itself, incase it was some sort of bomb. We would only do it after it had proven that it was an unarmed messenger.

Sakro: Why should I ever put my faith in some xeno? Do you really believe me so foolish as to take your 'offer' at face value? Begone worm! & pray that we do not meet on the field of war...

(the drone is sent straight back to the Tau vessels)

Meanwhile, down on Kelima...

It has begun now...let them become fully embroiled with the foe before we strike however.
