The Endeavour makes its rendezvous with the runabout Jankata precisely on schedule. Negotiators Grintol S'Reln and Arthur Schniedt are onboard, and after a brief conversation over subspace, the two pilot their vessel to dock with the Endeavour, which resumes its warp journey towards the Nevarra Cluster as soon as the shuttlebay doors have sealed behind the craft. Upon meeting with the diplomats in the shuttlebay, Byrne invites the both of them to join him and his family for dinner in his quarters.
The dinner affair goes by nervously for both Captain Byrne and Commander Ballard, as the former dislikes performing such guest entertainment as the host, and the latter is still not used to his new status as an officer onboard the ship; let alone a senior one. Byrne's wife, Sarah, does her best to ease the event along, and the two negotiators are either too polite or ignorant of the two officer's reactions to pass comment on their discomfort.
