593 Minor Oversight

As the envoy had neglected to inform her coworkers that she was taking a trip on the experimental shuttle, her return and request for docking clearance caused more than a little chaos among the alliance negotiation team.

There were rules and protocols, safety measures, and security checks to be done before an envoy boarded any vessel, much less an experimental one that had almost completely escaped their sensors.

It had done such a good job that their first thought was that it was one of the Hunter's vessels. The unique warp signature informed them otherwise, but they didn't know until it returned that an envoy was on board.

Max had the dubious honour of hearing about the protocols in great detail from the Alliance security team, who were less than impressed with everyone involved.
