As the bodyguards released the spidery contraption, he skittered farther into the room, taking up a position near the two Captains already present.
Thank you. Now, I feel I must apologize, Captain Curtis, for my unexpected presence here. I truly did not intend to come, as my message dictated. Under normal circumstances, we Melds do not disconnect from nor leave our ships, yet I encountered a very interesting cyborg the other day and managed to barter away some of his prosthetic limb research. This...thing I am now connected to is the first fruit of the application of that research.
But, please, don't let me bore you with such details, we are here to relax and discuss business after all! Oh, and a good day to you, Captain Frial, forgive me for not greeting you earlier. Now, though I am a tad behind schedule, I take it I have not missed much?
