>Also enclosed was request for escort of the T'remea's transport convoy. Since the Ambassador could technically cross borders flying under a flag of diplomatic truce, the request seemed almost a polite courtesy... or the recognition of the threat of Federation ships firing on Venasian vessels.
>A short while later a response came back through official diplomatic channels. The Ambassadoral transport was granted permission to enter Federation space along with a single escort. They were also advised of the new security protocols for "diplomatic" staff boarding Spacedock.
(ooc: What were those?)
The reply came back, requesting a Federation escort. While it seemed evident that Starfleet vessels wouldn't fire on the ambassador's ship, a rogue citizen on the fringes of Federation might be liable to take a well-meaning pot-shot at the ship, causing all manner of an intergalactic incident...
The USS Atlantis and USS Carey were dispatched to escort the Venasian convoy to Spacedock.
