guardian hologram: greetings neto and ikon..oh...high ones! i am indeed honoured to be in the presence of such immaculate kin. your light is the essence of the galactik center..elen lumen sila omentielvo!...did i pronounce that correctly?

wyk: (whispering to ikon) is this guy for real?

ikon: (you should see his ship!)

neto: guardian...so excellent to see you. i'd like to introduce you to wyk and solarion. they are elves from alanor

wyk and solarion both bow with prayer folded hands.

solarion: directing the intention towards the source and uncovering the deeper mysteries of travel.

guardian: discovering the meta! well...to what do i owe the high honour of being contacted by the galaxy's finest navigators and their elvish friends.

wyk: neto and ikon have gained much of their skill through interface with some of our technology. they have been trained by powerful elves. their ability to travel undetected in the galaxy, however has remained a mystery to us.

guardian: hmm..i see. yes. tricky business that cloaking technology. i have heard that the elves are somewhat lacking in their ability to render their crystal vehicles invisible. i actually have...o wait..this is not a strictly secured channel is it ikon?

ikon: ummm definitely not, we're actually jacking in from wyk's ship. she has a more powerful database, but as you may have detected...

guardian: ... a rather weak encryption array. i'll triple encrypt these transmissions to avoid any particularly nasty elves from discovering our locations. you elves are so much more pleasant than those who call themselves the sindavathar. do you know of these characters?

solarion: dark elf materializing in the timestreams. a disappointment to the metae.

wyk: i think we need to have a visit with you on your ship.

neto: uh..yes guardian. wyk and solarion are most interested in your wide variety of cloaks and other metaphorical garments. is it possible to hook up a meatspace interface?

guardian: realtime?! in the flesh?! elves aboard the kunab hu?! blessed are these days. i shall prepare a feast to end all feasts. this shall be a momentous occasion and reason to dip into the most highly prized stashes of the lab. o wait...will you be coming in thru this galaxy cruiser...nice model by the way...i especially like the warp core. must be extremely fast.

wyk: (to ikon)...how can he tell so much about this ship from this little com shard?

ikon: (to wyk)...i told you, this guy is a masterful coder and, i think you'll believe me now that your security field is pretty poor.

neto: yes guardian we will be coming in thru the elentari's mainframe. this will be an incredibly smooth ride for us, but, and i'm sure you will take every precaution, i would highly recommend a strict and highly upped gnome filter.

wyk: (out loud!) just what are you humans implying!!!

neto: my apologies wyk, but your field is the most gnomik of all our galactik encounters. our theory is that you just like to shoot them way too much. anyways (to guardian) we will smoke the rezin in approximately 5 mins. if you upload your encrypted co-ordinates, we will be able to read them and transport within the hour.

guardian: this is a joyous day!!! high ones on the kunab hu! i shall ready the ship for such an illustrious arrival. oh..and neto and ikon..please brief or elvish luminaries on the protocols regarding the transport mechanism and ready them adequately for the intensity of the rezin.

wyk:(coldly) i believe we will be able to handle it.

guardian: certainly did not mean to imply that you couldnt. its just that, er...some folks have a bit of a disorienting experience in there. the tones and orchestrations of the maps are a synaesthetik jubilee, if i don't say so myself.

wyk: (sardonically) i was born riding the zuvuya. i doubt there is anything that will disorient my sense of space and place.

guardian: indeed your galactik luminosity. i expect you shall experience the ride as enjoyable. it is but a formality required of neuronautical facilitators to prepare their travellers for journeys. this is my way of politely setting the space. it is the greatest honour to have an elf ride my shards. i will be excited to hear your reviews of the encounter.
