<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge as the Cherokee enters orbit of Sierna VI.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:

<aFCO> All: Entering assigned orbit as directed.  We should be in synchronous orbit within 3 minutes.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stands by his console::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::In a counseling session with a patient, just finishing up::  Crewman: Well, you keep working on it and good luck with Elaine.  I'm afraid that's all the time we have.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Crewman>: CNS: Thank you, Wally.  I'll see you next week.  ::Exits Counselor's Office::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Hopefully we will get more accurate information from other sources.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Sierna VI control> COM: Cherokee: Welcome to Sierna Cherokee.  We have the coordinates for your meeting set.  If you need to change your plans, please give us time to accommodate.  Otherwise have a pleasant or productive visit, depending on your reason for visit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: At the very least another point of view.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: or less biased at least...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: We're arriving in orbit Counsellor.  We will be beaming down to Sierna shortly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Sierna VI: Acknowledged.  I do not foresee any changes but we will let you know if there are.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.  Should I come to the bridge or meet you in a transporter room somewhere?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: Transporter Room 2 will be good unless you need something.  We will meet you there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Ready to get to the Transporter Room?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::prepares to follow the Captain::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::nods::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
*CO*: Understood, Sir.  I'll see you in the Transporter Room::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Makes his way to Transporter Room 2::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OOD: You have the Bridge.  Keep us in position. From the Ambassador's instructions the Sierna are very uncomfortable with rapid changes to things.  ::Turns and heads to the Turbolift.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Instructions from the Ambassador were actually rather unusual.  Hopefully we'll be able to find out a bit more as to why during the meeting.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Everyone seems to be really... let's say, careful and measured, in what regards discussing the Uruk issue. I find that real.. ::raise an eyebrow:: odd.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Arrives at the transporter room::  Transporter Chief: Hello, Chief Otis.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Turbolift.:  CIV: I was told the time they took to answer the inquiry was more rapid than most of their answers.    
Turbolift: Transporter Room 2.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Feels the Turbolift arrives and steps out and into the Transporter Room.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Otis>:: Nods to the CNS:: CNS: Hello, Counselor.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::feels the soft humming of the Turbolift::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Are we ready?  the Ambassador has given me a brief outline of what to expect.  They are apparently masters of considering all options before moving ahead.  Supposedly they do not make any decisions quickly.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All:: nod to the CNS:: Indeed Captain.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Care to elaborate, Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: The Ambassador was rather vague.  He said he didn't want to get us prepared until the decision was made to meet.  He also said it would be...interesting to see the interaction and let it play out naturally.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: I see.  ::Steps onto the transporter pad::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps on the pad.::  CNS: It's almost like a First Contact, prearranged.    I am not sure I see to be honest.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Otis: Energize when ready.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::waits for the transportation::

ACTION: The Away Team is Transported to Sierna VI, in a conference Room in the Federation embassy.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes in a conference room::

Host Ambassador_Morkant says:
All: Greetings, Cherokee crew, and welcome to Sierna VI.  I am Ambassador Meerit Morkant.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::rematerializes::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::gives the Vulcan salute to Ambassador Morkant::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: Thank you, Ambassador.  Has the Sierna representative arrived?

Host Ambassador_Morkant says:
CO: They are in the next room.  We are a small embassy, but I thought it best to give you a minute to get your bearings.  I know the information you have is...vague.  But that is part of who they are.  They do not share information with outsiders easily.  They do not do anything with outsiders easily, to be honest.  Part of their "charm".

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: So, they are almost as Xenophobic as the Uruk.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very charming people... ::regrets the remark::
Host Ambassador_Morkant says:
CNS: They are not xenophobic.  They are slow to move, which comes from being a true democracy.  Every step they take as a world is voted on by the entire polity.  Every being of age.  It makes things take...a very long time to do the simplest things.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Morkant: Okay, so they’re the champions of red tape.

Host Ambassador_Morkant says:
CNS: That is a good way to think of it.
All: Any other questions you have before we begin?  The good thing about their debating every decision is they are beyond patient so we have time if you need it.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods in agreement::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Morkant: I think we're all ready to begin, Sir.

Host Ambassador_Morkant says:
<Morkant> ::Nods and steps to open the doors.::
All: Crew of the Cherokee, may I present Rakeed Morat, who will represent his people at this meeting today.

INFO: Morat stands next to a table.  He has a crab like body for the lower half, with an armored humanoid torso sticking out of it.  Through the windows fish can be seen swimming by.  The Embassy is under at least 100 meters of water.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Morat: It is an honor to meet you, what would your title be?  Ambassador?

Host Morat says:
CO: No, sir.  Captain I believe from your rank insignia?  It is just Morat, my assignment here is temporary so needs no special title.  And my actual title has no meaning at this time, so the name is fine.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Enters the room:: Morat: Thank you for seeing us, Sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::salutes Morat::

Host Morat says:
::Returns the salute.::  
CNS: It is an honor for me as well.  Hopefully we can help your people decide on how to proceed easier.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Morat: That is our hope too.

Host Morat says:
All: Mosley thought one of your ships might come to gather information, but he thought it would take longer, if it came at all.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Morat: So, you have spoken with the Chancellor recently?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::makes a mental note.. no asking for lobster tonight's dinner::

Host Morat says:
CNS: It has been many months since the Chancellor came to swim amongst us, but he has kept in touch via subspace channels.
All: Does your arrival mean his plan to get help has worked, or has something else happened?
