Last time on the Seleya:

The Seleya waits above the planet in silence as the captain and others prepare to beam down and call the Magna Roma senate to assemble.  Most of the planetary defenses have been knocked out with no resistance from the people on the planet or in the ships that are in a defensive, non-aggressive status.  The Federation has sent transports to begin the removal of the colonists; they should arrive in 25 hours.

Near one of the poles, far from any city and far underground, there are signs of radiation, possibly their nuclear base.  Proconsul Marcus remains a 'guest' aboard the Seleya, as OPS prepares a telepathic ritual for him, which she has led the proconsul to believe is part of the process to see if they are compatible.  Where in reality, she seeks to learn more about what is going on without having to actually marry the man.

Maor, the doctor and those they connected with had gone to the coliseum to nock out the generators, which they succeeded, and to capture the senate.  Plans on the ship unexpectedly changed and the surprise was removed as the colonists that were there were suddenly beamed away by the Phoenix.   All those that had been at the coliseum have been removed.  Maor has told his group to go and meet up with the others as he awaits news from the ship.

Captain's log, Stardate 10906.07. I am about to transport to the planet to convince the local senate that they do not want a war with the Federation. Meanwhile, OPS is trying to get into the Pro-consul's mind.

OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::walks into the observation lounge:: Marcus: Ready?
 Proconsul Marcus says:
:: Looks at Ecchumati and smiles::  OPS:  By all means.  I am very curious.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::moves over and sits on the floor, gesturing to him to sit opposite::
 Proconsul Marcus says:
:: Watches a moment and then takes the indicated position.::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::puts the box in front of her:: Marcus: Don't be nervous. Relax your mind.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters the transporter room carrying a padd. In the pockets of her dress uniform a phaser and a tricorder are slightly visible. She nods to the chief and positions herself on the transporter pad::
 Proconsul Marcus says:
OPS:  My mind?
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
Marcus: You need to relax. My species can detect emotion sometimes. If I sense negative emotion, it can be quite... unappealing.
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
::walks into the transporter room in his working uniform, carrying a phase compression rifle with a hand phaser in its holster::

ACTION:  The captain and rest of the away team are beamed down to the waiting Maor.
 
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::looks around the area, trying to locate first maor::
Proconsul Marcus says:
:: simply nods:: OPS:  Proceed.  What more do you need from me?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Have you located the senate?
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::opens the box revealing the crystal:: Marcus: Put one hand to the crystal.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Steps out of the shadows, revealing himself to the Captain's group:: CO: This way. ::Turns and begins making his way toward a random corridor::
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::motions for the security detail to follow in a close patrol formation::
 Proconsul Marcus says:
:: Reaches for the crystal::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods and follows::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::closes her eyes, despite feeling uncomfortable doing so in front of a mad man::
 
@ ACTION:  The AT passes a few individuals in the halls who simply nod in courtesy as they continue on their business.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Turns a left, heading toward the center of the Colosseum:: CO: I assume the senate has yet to respond to your request, Captain?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: CIV: Marcus said the summons had to be done in person. I can only assume the Senate chamber has the correct communication means to do that
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Nods in understanding:: CO: No matter, we'll make them see our point. One way or another. ::Begins slowing down as they near the main chamber:: Just down this corridor, Captain. ::Points ahead::
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@CO: Given that they've been using federation communication technology for decades I would have assumed they could recieve our hails.

@ Scenery:  Inside the senate room, it is large, filled with many seats.  There are men sitting around throughout while servents move about with food and drink.  Murmurs echo quietly.
 
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CSec: I agree but they seem to be very tradition-minded. I am actually surprised they survived this far with so much bureaucracy
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@CO: Life always finds a way.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::enters the room and raises her voice:: All: I am Captain Gomes representing the United Federation of Planets. I wish to address the Magna Roma Senate
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Moves to stand to the back of the Captain, not wishing to overbear on her presence::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::in the link::
Sen  Demetrius says:
@:: Stands::  CO:  On what matter and rights do you call the senate?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@Senator: On the matter of the Roman attack on the Federation colonies of Caledonia and Talk
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::stands to the right and only inches behind the CO's position having had the security team form up behind Maor.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@ Demetrius: I believe you have some problems in you hearing. I am Captain Gomes, representing the United Federation of Planets
Sen  Demetrius says:
@ :: Watches a moment and simply nods his head::  CO:  Acceptable.  If you will announce a call to senate via the communication unit on the podium. 
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::considers asking Trigger to kill the annoying little man for a moment, but then decides against it. Without a word and just a nod to Trigger and Maor she slowly starts walking to the podium::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Clears his throat, trying to draw the CSec's attention to him:: CSec: See if you can scan that podium, I haven't had a chance yet. ::Whispers and begins following the CO on her way toward the podium, albeit a few steps back::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@:she arrives there and sees a big red button. Even though the language isn't clear, its clear what its meant to do. She presses it::
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::nods back to the CO and splits up the security team sending them to the four best vantage points in the coliseum::
 
@ACTION:  A screen appears and the quiet sounds of a waiting signal.

Sen  Demetrius says:
@ CO: Simply call the senate.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::speaks to the screen:: Screen: I am Captain Gomes representing the United Federation of planets. I wish to address the Senate on the matters of the attcaks on 2 Federation colonies and pending war between our 2 ...Empires
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::follows Maor and whispers back at him:: CIV: Unfortunately I didn't bring my tricorder today... sorry. ::moves to the other side of the podium::

@ ACTION: Along the side of the screen, various lights light up gold.

OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::opens her eyes:: Marcus: Thank You. We are done.
Sen  Demetrius says:
@ CO: You are in luck, captain.  Most of the senate is currrently in residence.  Each gold light represents a senator agreeing to join you here.  It will take about 10 minutes for everyone to assemble.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::motions for the Security guards to come over:: Marcus: I need time to think. ::bows and leaves for the bridge::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@ Demetrius: Lucky me indeed
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CSec: Is everyone in place?
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::on the bridge:: *CO*: Ecchumati to Gomes.
Sen  Demetrius says:
@ :: Smiles::  CO:  More then you know captain.  We would offer you refreshment.  :: motions to those around the room serving::
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::silently nods to the CO::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@ Demetrius: Thank you but I must answer this :: moves tot he side and taps her badge::
 Proconsul Marcus says:
:: Watches the woman leave and then lifts his brow to the guards::  Sec: Are all your women like that?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*OPS*: Gomes here
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
*CO*: Captain, I finished the link with Marcus. It seems he wants the old ways of conquest, but he is alone. He is un-liked by many of the Senate. His own troops are not carrying his orders out to the full. They wanted to trap us earlier, but thanks to this it failed.
Sec says:
::stands motionless and stares at Marcus::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*OPS*: Thank you. That is excellent news. I can use it to turn the Senate in our favor. Perhaps war is avoidable. Good job. Now I want you on the bridge. Make sure Marcus is being guarded and keep a transporter lock on us and an eye on the ships in orbit
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
*CO*: I also learned that we got the right man. Marcus seems to be more powerful than the Emperor. The Emperor is just his puppet. This may be a way to get them on our side; encourage them that with Marcus gone, they will have power again.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*OPS*: Understood
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
*CO*: Ops out. ::takes her post::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::returns to the podium, waiting::
CSEC Lt Trigger says:
@::watches the surroundings carefully::
