Encounter at Kiral. The Cavaliers, #2

Lt. Jenna, flexible, innovative, and outside-the-box thinker is paired with the formal and strictly by-the-book Lt. Tyson on a first-contact mission to the military-minded planet Kiral. Fortunately, the first people they meet aren't the let's-dissect-the-aliens type. Unfortunately, some of the people on the ruling council have their own agendas already on unstoppable schedules. Will Jenna and Tyson complete their mission to invite Kiral to join the Fellowship, or will the uncooperative elements in the planetary leadership manage to disappear them - permanently?
