The emperor spoke. "Skyfall and Oceanic Wall have been completed. I am authorizing First Contact protocol, effective immediately!" Staff, both robotic and biological, ran to and fro inside the palace and so did staff in military bases. Aircraft were being prepared for deployment, vehicles were being checked, and personnel were gearing up. Alerts appeared all throughout the palace and in the same military bases, with bright letters that read "DEFCON 9 'BREWING STORM' ACTIVE."
All in the New World Union were tuning into the news or otherwise trying to learn about these current events. A single sentence was prevalent in all media networks. It was always the same, and was not paraphrased, spoken by the Emperor himself.
"First contact has been made with another universe."
There were then those who saw it as a cause for joy, those who were overjoyed at the New World Union's true, public revelation of itself as a player on the multiversal stage. Others then remembered an old solution to a paradox now revived: the dark forest. The people among those who remembered then, voiced their concerns to the government, the response to which itself would become remembered, and a future source of conspiracy theories. "We are not hunters in the forest, we are the forest."
The naval group proceeded towards the Lesospians. The group then stopped immediately outside of Lesospian gun range and decided to request something. "Would it be possible for our fleet to travel with yours to Zaion?" On the Lesospian ship, they were figuratively scratching their heads at this unusual request, but a crewman decided to manacomm it to high command. "Requesting permission to sail with the New World Union's ships to Zaion?" After a five minute delay, an answer came.
"Request accepted."
-----TIME SKIP (2 hours)-----
The naval group then temporarily returned to Astera to pick up a diplomat dispatched by the Department of Foreign Affairs. They docked, and the diplomat, followed by an adequate military security detail, entered the boarding portal. After boarding, the diplomat gets himself settled in. He walks around the ship and finds the room prepared for him.

After unpacking, he opens up his PDA, now realizing that it was 1300, meaning "Oh, it's lunch time." Immediately after saying that, a tray emerged from the wall, carrying a dish of Asteran Millenary Crab, some King Truffle, and some other grains paired with Sake. The diplomat takes the tray and places it on his desk, after which he then begins eating.
