Just a hour before the USS Protector would be at the border of disputed territory a response to Watson's letter.
To: Ambassador Watson, UFP From: Xenos Deputy Minister, Foreign Affairs Ministry CC: Admiral Bedru, Starfleet Command Re: Breach of our Territoral Space Mr. Watson, we reluctantly grant you permission to enter our territory to proceed to the planet Xendo, where your starship USS South Hampton was found. You will be met by the Imperial Cruiser Tutanem, which will be carrying a delegation to meet with you. The trecherous actions of your Federation in crossing into our soverign territory will be dealt with diplomatically. Far better than you deserve for this wanton act of aggression. Be forwarned that your actions will be watched closely, and will have consequences. Especially for the little one and her mother, Anya.
