She paused as she recalled how they had even come here in the first place.
The Emperor of Harmony had demanded compensation for the ambush that Rui had suffered, and he had demanded that they be more open to trading their flora network technology, one of the core technologies of elven civilization.
When she spoke about how fitting compensation would be required, he had brought up the strange question about aliens, which, in hindsight, made sense. She had to admit, the trade was very appealing to her.
Old gen flora network technology was used for most of the research data they had on the alien flora specimen. This was a pure information trade on both sides, thus neither side stood to lose anything materially.
