[Commander, we have an incoming message from the Vampire ship.] The communications officer on duty informed Max seconds later.
[I will take it here.] Max replied, then opened the link as a video chat, which would project holograms of Max and everyone else at his table to the person that had contacted them from the Vampire's vessel.
"Commander Keres Max, I must say, your new home nearly gave my crew a heart attack. I am assuming that IS your new vessel?" The Vampire asked as soon as the link opened.
"Indeed it is. Would you like to come aboard Terminus and have a chat? I have been on the far side of the Galaxy for a while now, and I haven't had a chance to catch up with the ongoing situation here and within the Federation since the end of the Civil War." Max replied.
