It’s not a meeting where they can promise anything instantly, but they take it into account and listen. It’s as much of a statement for the Argentinians as well, where even some of the anti-parasite party end up understanding a simple truth: It did not mean it. This is alien first contact, and the more reasonable of them finally acquiesce that it would be irrational to try and charge it for human crimes, or hold that matter of biological compatibility against it. Especially now that it’s sapient enough to make talks and offer up economical prosperity.
With ARS being one of the weakest currencies in the world, they certainly welcome the presence of unique economic opportunities that no other nation can replicate. The intention to do business and aid them is received well.
By the end of the conference, Shroomy’s legal status is still extremely vague. They don’t give it citizenship, but the declaration of its personhood is taken into consideration.

As it moves away, the dragon hovers over the ruins of the base to observe the chaos. Though they may not be its people, they’re descendants of them in the end, and it feels their pain. The creature spends an unusually long time watching and observing, before eventually diving into the sea to metabolise its gains. The water boils and bubbles as its scales shine bright.
