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

Host Matgol says:
::On the Cherokee, still amazed at how fast things are changing.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::In holodeck 1 ready to greet our guests::  Matgol: Are you excited to meet everyone?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::In Holodeck 1, checking the artificial gravity with the holodeck control panel::

Host Matgol says:
CO: It is a...strange thought.  In 2 million years of travel my people have only met about 70 species who we could communicate with.  Now we have met your people with many species on one ship, and more are on the way?  Excited is just part of it.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::In Holodeck 1 maintaining security footing in the compartment::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Reviewing scans, seeing if there is anything that needs to be taken care as our guests arrive.::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::In holodeck 1 putting the holographic bartender in place::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, everything is ready, food, beverages, and the artificial gravity is set for the Arteleks

ACTION: The vessels of the New Rome, Sierna, Lessek Prime, Mileasaw and Nipseb delegations arrive and signal their delegations are ready to Transport over.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Very good.  I'd say we are ready... for anything.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  ::Smiles::  Aye Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: Why don't you stay here.  I'll go welcome the delegates and escort them here.  Have a drink and try to relax.

Host Matgol says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Hold the fort, I'll be right back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Yes Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: You're with me.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Yes Sir! ::follows his Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Leaves holodeck and goes to transporter 1 with TO::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Following the Captain at a quick gait::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
Matgol: Can I bring you a drink or maybe something to eat?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::directs himself towards Transporter Room::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::In turbolift:: TO: It looks like we'll be making history in our holodeck today.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Yes Sir! I've been analyzing the possible historical ramifications, and to use a human phrase "It is exciting!"

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::L'Vor attempts a slight grin::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::waits for the Captain to arrive at Transporter Room::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Matgol: Sir, if I may ask, I noticed that your people chose New Venice as your new home.  I'm just wondering what made that world so appealing?  It seemed...less comfortable than the other worlds on the list.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Arrives in Transporter Room 1:: Chief Otis: When you confirm everyone is ready, you may begin to beam our guests aboard, Chief.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO/TO: ::nods at the officers and stands at ease waiting for the Chief to transport the delegates::

Host Matgol says:
SO: Indeed, in many ways it is.  But it is a world with what we need most, abundant energy.  And we are not afraid of the chance to work the world to our needs.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Nods in respect to Captain Marek's presence::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Mister Marek.  ::Nods::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
TO: Can I ask you a favor, Lieutenant?

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CIV:  Yes Sir, what can I do?

ACTION: All delegations send word they are prepared for Transport.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
TO: Please set your phaser to stun. If I start talking too much... just knock me down... And , please if I fall asleep, give a discreet slap in the back of the head. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Chief Otis>: Beams the delegates onto the Cherokee.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CIV: Yes, Sir!  I will do my very best to keep you alert and not being able to talk too much during the reception, it would be my honor Sir!

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::feels the typical humming noise of the transporter system activating::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Looks at CIV:: TO: Umm, don't do that.  Don't shoot or slap him.  ::Gives him a half smile::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
TO: ::raises an eyebrow::  I am quite a character, aren't I? ::goes back to his usual poker face once the transportation begins::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CO: ::nods again::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO/CIV:  Aye Sirs! ::Looking at them both in disbelief::

ACTION: As the Transporter solidifies Chancellor Mosley appears front and center with his aide.  To his right is Sierna's leader Morat, also with an aide and Ambassador Morkant.  To his left are Moultaire from Lessek and CIC Bershew from Mileasaw with their aides.  To the back is a previously unmet Lessek, the representative from Nipseb.

Host Matgol says:
<Mosley> CO: Permission to come aboard, Captain Daniels?

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Lt. LVor pipes the dignitaries aboard with his digital pipe with the honored three tone whistle::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley: Permission granted and welcome.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::salutes the delegates as the TO sounds the pipe, with the traditional Vulcan salute::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Welcome all of you.  ::Goes about shaking hands.

Host Matgol says:
<Mosley> CO: Thank you, Captain.  And may I say the new uniform looks very fitting on you.  You seem to have grown since our last visit.  ::Returns the Captain's hand shake.::

ACTION: All of the guests shake the Captain's hand and give their own greetings.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley: Grown?  I don't know.  I do workout but, I didn't think it changed me much.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::makes his best effort to dissimulate the discomfort that Chancellor Mosley's personality causes him and gives a formal salute to him and the rest of the dignitaries::

Host Matgol says:
<Mosley> CO: It is more of a presence I suppose.  But Starfleet made a good choice in their promotion it seems.  I am thankful for what you and your crew have done and hopeful for what it might lead to.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Nipseb Rep.: It's a pleasure meeting you.  I'm Captain Wally Daniels.  I'm sorry we never got the chance to visit your world.

Host Matgol says:
<CIC Bershew> CO: Be careful with that one, Captain.  He is trying to get,,,how does he say it?  On your good side?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley: I'm glad you're pleased.

Host Matgol says:
<Glenat> CO: It is an honor meeting you also, Captain.  I am Council President Glenat, and to be aboard a vessel of your fine Federation gives me joy enough.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::continues the formal handshaking and saluting::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: I'll be careful.  So far, he's not on my bad side.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: If you'll all follow along.  Matgol, the Artelekian is anxious to meet you all.

Host Matgol says:
<Mosley> CO: Of course, Captain.  That is why we are here, to meet our new neighbors...and see that our old problem is no longer so.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::L'Vor allows all the dignitaries to follow Captain Daniels and he then brings up the rear of the entourage so no one gets lost on the way::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Waiting for the Captain and Lt. L'Vor.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Heads out of the transporter room, thinking - I hope we all fit in the turbolift.::

Host Matgol says:
CEO: The new world, from what we have seen of it, seems to show great things are possible from your people's engineering.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the group next to the TO::

ACTION: The delegates follow the Captain to the Holodeck entrance.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Matgol:  Aye Sir! It wasn’t always that way, we had our share of problems along the way, but I would agree with you Sir, it seems we can do anything if we put our minds to it ::smiles:: Look what your people have done along the way!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Here we are.  ::Presses the appropriate spot on the control panel to open the door::

Host Matgol says:
::Turns to look at the new arrivals, then signs.::  All: Greetings and well met.

Host Matgol says:
<Mosley> Matgol: Well met indeed.  ::Bows.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Stands at attention::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Comes to attention at the new arrivals.::  Self: Yes that is the firebrand, hush!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Makes all the introductions getting everyone's name and homeworld correct::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Enters after the last of the dignitaries enter Holodeck1, the double doors close with their usual mechanical sound, he too stands at attention during the introductions::
