 Transport Fleet Zuul surfaces near Sapphirian Coats, only 20 surfaced.
The Flagship Sub would surface and a signal flare would go off- over a loud intercom, this would be heard:
"Greetings, Friends of the Royal Court. King Nemo wishes to extend a benevolent gift to the Federation of Sapphirian Isles. We shall remain here for four days, please send an Envoy to this vessel so we may speak."
The Officer would remain atop the deck, steam hissing from his helmet as he stood at attention. Four Royal Marines would be at this side, saluting. A Black Flag with a golden N would fly above.

Sapphirian Border Force offshore patrol vessels spotted no less than 20 submarines surfacing right off the coast of Drakens town near Bosphoriale during a routine patrol mission. They are believed to be from the Kingdom of Nauticus, after a similar event occurred in the Evergreen Republic. Both the Sapphirian Navy and Border Force have dispatched additional vessels in response. They have set up a perimeter around the submarines and are waiting for further orders.
Back in Metronacional, PM Diawara has called an emergency Security Council meeting to address the appearance of these submarines. She has been notified that diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) have already been flown out to the site to communicate with the visitors. The Minister of Defence also informs her that an operations team from the Defence CBRN Centre and the National Energy Research Centre have been dispatched after sensors picked up strange energy signatures coming from the subs.
Clad in full CBRN protection gear, the diplomats accompanied by Naval special forces attempt to board the flagship submarine to speak to the Officer.
“Could you turn off the loudspeaker? It’s really loud!” “We’re here to communicate!”

Steam would release from the officer and marine's copper masks, and they would nod. The loud Speakers now offline, a ladder would release from the deck from the submarine.
"Permission to come aboard is hereby granted. I am Admiral Velec, son of the Baron of Loch, representative of the Glorious King Nemo and his Royal Court, and humble servant to the people of Nauticus. The King has requested that Transport Fleet Zuul meet with a representative to meet with your Federation, in response to the recent endorsement of our Kingdom. This is the first endorsement our kingdom has received, and the royal court wanted to extend their personal gratitude.
The Officer then gestured to the entryway to the large submarine.
"Would you and your men please accompany me? There is much I have to show you."

A 10-person team ascended the ladder while the rest stayed behind to keep watch and monitor the situation. The boarding party, led by MFA official Dr Haddock, consisted of NERC scientists, Naval special forces soldiers and other MFA staff.
“Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Admiral. I’m Benjamin Haddock, errr son of Archie Haddock. I work for the Sapphirian Foreign Ministry heading the Maritime Affairs division and this is our crack team of experts. Excuse the weapons, we’re not really used to visitors coming here on hi-tech subs.”
“Our Government sends its highest regards to His Majesty King Nemo and your people. As a pro-neutral nation, we seek to build friendships with all and thus we’ve sent President Renaldo to represent us at your banquet. We are also grateful for your endorsement too!”
“Enough with the pleasantries, please lead the way Admiral!”
Meanwhile back at the Security Council, “Alright folks, be careful in there! Make sure to turn on your bodycams and report back anything suspicious,” said General Fassbender as the team entered the submarine.

As the group descended into the sub, it was a light with neon blue and green lights- with a strange hum resonating throughout. The crew was moving frivolously throughout the halls, many with strange contraptions seemingly bolted to them. Some would be wearing what could only be stated as armor calling back to the days of old, the majority of the crew would wear copper masks and helmets with steam hissing from them every few moments. They would take quick glances at their visitors as they passed by with the Admiral, but did not dare to speak out of term.
They would then enter a corridor outside of a large circular door with a display port.
"The king was very thrilled upon the endorsement from the Federation. In such, he wished to give the Federation something near and dear to the Kingdom to hopefully blossom a relationship between our two great nations. Tell me, how is your current power reserves?"
The admiral would tilt his head, crossing his arms and lean against a nearby wall as the rest of his men took up guard posts around the room.

NERC Scientist: "Well, we are proud to say that the our national grid's reserves are healthy at the moment. We've got an energy mix of around 60% nuclear from thorium reactors and 40% from renewables. We're producing around ....."
Haddock stops him before he keeps droning on.
Haddock: "Thanks for that information Doctor....but I'm sensing that the Admiral has got something interesting to show us, doesn't he?"
