Governor Lancaster of the Grey star was a very shrewd and quick man. Having learned the new way of welcoming important guests to the planet from the way Scarlet welcomed the Xenoans and the empress, he did something similar.
When Scarlet and Esong appeared, they were welcomed by a greeting party and two little girls who were carrying flowers that were handed over to Scarlet and Esong. The little girls of course received hugs and looks of adoration. Governor Lancaster had even arranged for press to cover this visit and he treated it as if it was the beginning of a new trade relationship between their two stars or a political union.
Every move that was made here was photographed, recorded and shared with the citizens of the Sun star empire that were interested.
