The Kardoval were caught off balance and obviously tried to somehow control the situation. I loved how Garjah, Ases and Essell out maundered them to get the time needed to prepare for the "dinner" confrontation that is sure to follow. Bouncer again had to let his opinion be known by all. Garjah did a good job of pointing out the advantages, as well as reassure the crowd that their home was safe and strong enough to not be threatened by the Galactic planets. Essell provided very good reasons for delaying the meeting with the Kardoval and Ases giving the three time to assess how the people received their arrival, then plan and coordinate what would happen next with the Kardoval. Ases did his part by being polite, positive and respectful to the crowd and representatives of the Kardoval. Excellent arrival on the planet. Looking forward to finding out the people's reaction and the Kardoval's response.
