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

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::In the Holodeck, wondering why Trelala is so calm and all my other selves are so nervous.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::In the Holodeck, meandering around with a scotch glass in his hand::

Host Matgol says:
::Noticing the new species entering the room, species who communicate with the Federation.  Wonders how many other cultures the Artelek missed contact with over the years.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::In Holodeck 1, taking a position 90 degrees from Captain Daniels, in tactical mode, but being cordial and inviting, if that is possible all at the same time::

Host CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::feeling the merciless oppression of his dress uniform collar::

Mosley says:
::Looking about the room, seeing the Artelek in person for the first time.  Trying to keep the flow of information straight moving forward.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::In Holodeck 1 finishing with introductions.  He decides he needs a drink::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Can I get you something, Captain?

Mosley says:
CO: Congratulations Captain, you and your team did remarkably well.  Starfleet outdid themselves answering my call for...assistance.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: You must have read my mind.  You can get me a beer, if you wouldn't mind.

Mosley says:
All: All of you did remarkable.  Makes me nostalgic for my service days.  Not that I want back in space full time mind you!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::keeps nodding and replying to small talk remarks::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Not at all.  Be right back.  ::Goes to the bar::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley: We hoped you would be pleased.  Hopefully you feel a little different about Starfleet's response to your requests.

Mosley says:
CO: I thought I would be fighting to get this problem solved for years.  Now we can get back to the true work, building our new home.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley: Yes, the Artelek will be doing the same, building their new home.

Host Matgol says:
::After seeing the translation of Mosley's words.::
Mosley: I apologize for any setbacks we may have caused your world, ::Turns to the other delegates.:: 
All: All of your worlds.  We hope to move forward in peace in the future.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol/All: I think that's what we all want.  Isn't it gentlemen?

Host Matgol says:
CO: Yes Captain Daniels.

Mosley says:
CO: Of course, peace is always the best way to move forward.

Host Matgol says:
<Moultaire> CO: Peace leads to trade, there is nothing we desire more.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Mosley:  ::Looking at Mosley:: Yes, peace is what we all need, especially after the late Dominion War ::Raises his glass to salute::

Host Matgol says:
<Bershew> All: Prepare for war, but never reject an amicable peace.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Moultaire: Glad to hear it.  You know, when we visited Lessek, I fell in love with your Flella chips.  I bought some and then, taught our replicators how to produce them.

Mosley says:
::Gets a glass and returns the salute.::  CEO: War shows the strength of ones metal, but there is always a limit to that strength.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Brings the CO his drink:: CO: Here you are, Sir.

Host Matgol says:
<Moultaire> CO: Excellent Captain, I hope you enjoy it.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Thank you, Ensign.  ::Takes the glass from OPS::

Host Matgol says:
All: Are all your worlds part of the Federation?

Mosley says:
Matgol: No my good sir, apart from the Cherokee crew only myself, my aide and Ambassador Morkant, representative to the world of Sierna, are from the Federation.  The other worlds are...neighbors and, we hope in time, may come to embrace us.

Host Matgol says:
<Bershew> All: Here he goes again...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol/Mosley:  The Federation isn't for everybody.  Some choose to be more independent.  However, every application is given serious consideration.

Host Matgol says:
CO: I am glad we were able to make contact with you.  And that is surprisingly reasonable.  Most of our historical republics were rather...limited in duration once they passed a certain size.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: It is a delicate balance, keeping peace, security and independence at a local level.

Host Matgol says:
CO: How do you decide who to invite?  If it is done willingly, there has to be some system behind it, yes?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: Many factors are used to determine membership.  Technical advancement, politics, similar beliefs, such as the desire for a peaceable existence, it's a long process.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO/CIV: Have I left anything out?

Host Matgol says:
CO: I understand.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CO: I think you cover all the basics.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/All:  Worlds can also take it upon themselves to make petition to the Federation Council on joining, then what the Captain stated as the process begins.  

Mosley says:
CO: Perhaps stability should be included.  Having those things and proving they are not temporary.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Mosley:  That would help to explain the long process.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CO: Captain, with all due respect, I think that you should make an emphasis that if a species is accepted as a member, it also means a full acceptance of the main principles that are the Federation foundation.

Mosley says:
CO: Yes Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: So, how do you think you'll enjoy your new home world?  What are your first priorities, once all your people have been moved from the planetoid?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::sounds very ironic, maybe Mosley gets the indirect::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Thank you, this is true.

Host Matgol says:
CO: We will need to build cities first, and then build an infrastructure.  New Venice is a rich world, but rough in many ways.  I have been told the name references a city on your world, but to us it is the god of winds.  Very appropriate for the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: I think it is fair to say, we are all very happy for you and your people.  It's going to be an exciting time for you all.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Matgol:  Have you an estimate on how long your planet-ship will be in range so a full evacuation can be completed?  

Host Matgol says:
CO: That is accurate, Captain.  But at least it is something we can build on.

Host Matgol says:
CEO: It will take us years to move everyone with our ships, decades even, but Starfleet is preparing colony ships to assist us in the move.  They estimate we could get everyone there and sustainable within a year.

Host Matgol says:
CEO: Basically it will be non stop trips back and forth, carrying our people and what industry, including agriculture, can be transplanted.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: We will have to pay you a visit in a couple of years to see how you are doing.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Matgol:  That is impressive, was there any instructions written by your ancestors that may have been comparative with what Starfleet has recommended?  I'd be very interested in the gap between what was planned, and what will be transpiring over the next solar year.

Host Matgol says:
CO: We would always welcome you.  A contact makes those who made it very honored.  You and your crew will be remembered.

Host Matgol says:
CEO: No instructions were made because they had no idea what we would find, and when we might find it.  The thought in our stories is we would find a world and bring the planetoid to it.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Matgol: I'm pleased to call you and your people friends.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Matgol:  Very interesting, your ancestors were very wise, and from our experiences Sir, so is your current generation!
