Jazin looked down on the planet through the conference room viewport. His father had contacted the Elpidios Grand Ruler and they were to meet within the next hour. They had all been surprised when the Grand Ruler asked them to bring the pale alien female with them. Torak had argued that his mate did not need to go. They did not know enough about the Elpidios to expose their mates to such danger, especially with her expecting.
Ajaska was hesitant but the Grand Ruler insisted that if the pale alien was not part of the landing party, they would be denied permission to land. It had taken Gril, Ajaska, and finally River to assure Torak that everything would be fine. The Grand Ruler gave his word that all he wanted was to meet her.
