Last week on the Seleya:

As the crew finished tying up loose ends, the captain meet with her command staff to show both hers and the Federations appreciation of their work in the form of words, and awards.  The command officers would pass on awards to their staff later.

Waiting for the Edan's items in the cargo bay to be beamed down to the planet, the captain received an encrypted message from her brother whom she had not seen in awhile.  He asked for her help in dealing with a situation he had found himself in, which included the murder of children.  Before she could discover any more information, the comm was cut at his end.

Contacting Admiral Harlan, the captain is given permission to include a search for her brother as their new mission and his situation might be connected.  Do to the delicate nature of the situation, the crew will be stopping at Starbase 129 to pick up a data packet, speak with the Talarian ambassador and see what information they can gather.

On route, the newest crew members settle into their new home. The CMO finds a nice surprise waiting for her from one she loves.  And she begins the continuation of trying to wake up another she loves, her brother.

The ship is on approach to Starbase 129...

Captain's log, Stardate 11003.21. We are approaching Starbase 129 to gather information on some unrest in the area. In particular the disappearnce of some people, including Federation citizens.

OPS: Ask the station to inform the Telarian ambassador that we arrived and would like to meet him at his earliest convenient time

ACTION:  As the ship enters the docking bay, standard procedures for docking are quickly and efficiently completed with the sounds of the docking clamps securing the ship.

CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Stands and hands a stack of padds to her waiting nurse.:: Nurse:  Make sure these supplies are not past there expiration date, I don't want to have to throw out a bunch of stuff, just because some pencil pusher on the starbase wants to unload it before it expires.

Computer: Bridge
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Steps off the TL onto the bridge, taking in the scene with a quick glance around the room::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::feels the ship shudder a little as she docks:: OPS  Andersson: Let me know when the Ambassador is ready to receive us
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO/OPS/SO: you are free to leave for the station when ready 
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods and pushes away from the console to move towards the lift, waiting for the others.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO/CIV: Good, you are both here. I am just waiting for confirmation that the Ambassador can see us
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
CO:  Understood   OPS/SO:  Lets get changed out of our uniforms and meet up at the airlock as soon as you are done.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: Curious Captain, why are you involving medical in what is clearly a diplomatic affair?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks down at her outfit and back up with a smile::  CTO:  I am one up on you.  I will be waiting near the airlock... after all, I know men take much less time dressing.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CMO's comment but keeps his own comments to himself::
OPS Andersson says:
CO: Captain, it seems Starbase 129 has already informed him of our imminent arrival. He has sent an aide, who is ready to escort you to him already.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles at the Dr, thinking she is quite insightful, most others wouldn't ask:: CMO: Experience taught me that Doctors understand people better than the rest of us. I am not sure what to expect from this Ambassador. Maybe he will cooperate, maybe he won't. I am counting on you to try to understand him
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Hopes she has not overstepped her bounds with the Captain on that question::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the CTO and steps into the TL::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS Andersson: Perfect ::starts heading to the turbo lift:: CMO/CIV: Lets go
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  Ok will meet you there in a few.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CMO: I am a surgeon, not a psychiatrist, but I will do my best Captain.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Logs off his station and makes his way toward the TL::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: That is all I ask for. I am curious now though. do you dislike diplomatic assignments?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::joins OPS and CTO on the turbo lift and looks up saying:: Computer, Deck 3 
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: Not entirely Captain, however we both may be at a distinct disadvantage with the Talarian Ambassador, there society is very patriarchal
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Actually you will be my diplomatic aide. I will introduce us but for the sake of efficiency you will have to do most of the talking
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: I know, but ours is not. I am certainly not going to hide in a corner because they don't like women in command. We will make concessions but we will not give up what we are
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Stepping onto the lift, she orders it to the off ramp area, waiting for the others to step off at their quarters for changing.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in understanding:: 
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::as the lift stops in deck 3, she steps out and heads for the docking hatch.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Steps out of the lift as the doors open and turns left towards his quarters::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Following along with the captain and her team, she stops before stepping off to wait for her group.::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Smiles at the Captain:: CO: Yes Ma'am, you sound a lot like my mother.  She was a very proud woman, and one that backed down to no man.  Which could be very tough to do as a freighter captain.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Follows the Captain, taking the time to straighten his own uniform jacket::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Exits the lift as it come to a stop and heads for his quarters.::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: She always taught me to know who I was, and to be who I was, and not let anyone deter me from that mission.  ::Whispers slightly:: Especially a man.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::blinks for a moment. This is the first time someone above the age of 10 thought of her as a mother:: CMO: She must have been a very strong woman indeed. We don't have nearly as hard in Starfleet ut in many societies one of the sexes is still considered weak
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at TRaes other comment:: CMO: None of us should give up what we are ::steps onto the station::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Enters his quarters and quickly heads to the closet to get changed.;:
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Enters his quarters and immediately walks over to his clothing closet, picking the first available change of civilian cloths::
 Aide Daran says:
:: Keeping a close watch on the docked ship, he sees the group he is waiting for and steps up to the end of the ramp, nodding his head slightly in greeting.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Exits through the airlock:: CO: Is someone supposed to be meeting us here? ::Glances around, looking for any sign of a welcoming party::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO/CIV: We need to know what the ambassador knows about the instability on the area and about the disappearance of civilians. This is our main goal. The Talarians might not be happy we are investigating their backyard but they want good relations with us and the Cardassians. We have to keep this in mind
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::finishes speaking and looks up at the aide:: CIV: Right there
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at the Aide:: Aide: I am Captain Gomes, these are Commander Maor and Dr TRae
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in greeting:: 
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Nods to the Aide, as her name is mentioned::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::quickly changes out of his uniform then heads for the airlock.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Puts on the clothes he just picked out, then heads out the door again::
 Aide Daran says:
:: Nods a bit stiffly at Gomes and the doctor, his eyes not meeting those of the woman before giving a more genial nod to the male::   All:  If you will follow me, I will take you to Ambassador Erant.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Walks the short distance along the corridor towards the docking bay::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Approaches the airlock and sees the SO there waiting for them.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Watching the interaction going on below, she simply shakes her head and mumbles under her breath::  Males...
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Joins the SO and CTO::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Sighs rather meekly before following the ambassador's aide:: CO:: Some things almost never change. ::Quietly::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::notices the Aide's avoidance and smiles, taking it as naturally as she possibly can:: Aide: Lead the way
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::whispers back:: CIV: Someday they will
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Sensing the others behind her she turns to greet them.::  CTO/OPS:  So... anyone work out our first stop?
Aide Daran says:
:: With fluid grace, he leads the group out of the waiting area and onto the station, pausing before a lift::  ALL:  We will be meeting with the ambassador in one of the stations conference rooms.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at the CTO, as he himself hadn't had a chance to think of anything just yet::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Follows behind the CO and CIV, knowing she has a possibility of slipping into the background, and thus affording herself a better vantage point with which to observe the interaction::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO/OPS:  I've always found the local bars to be the best place to find the type of information we are looking for, we can pose as traders who are heading to Cardasian space and are looking for more information on the rumors we've heard of trouble at the border.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Aide: That will be more than enough ::nudges the CIV on the shoulder, hoping he understands he should make some conversation with this guy::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Rolls his eyes at the direction of the Captain:: Aide: I hope our arrival isn't too much of a burden on the ambassador's schedule?
 
ACTION:  As the lift stops, not far down the hall can be seen two guards.  They wear padded uniform-vests, black leather gloves and black trousers.  Under the brown vest is a ribbed silvery-black undergarment.  Upon their heads are black helmets and held close to their sides are large rifles.

 Aide Daran says:
CIV:  Not at all.  We have been awaiting your arrival.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  What are we trading?  Just so we have the whole story straight.  :: walking down the ramp, she checks out with the duty officer.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Aide: Are you aware if the entire information regarding our arrival was already passed on to your staff and to the ambassador himself?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Observes the "unwritten" body language of the guards and the aide.  Trying to pull out anything out of the ordinary, which is difficult to do in such a highly militarized culture::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::whispers:: CMO: I heard they avoided alien germs but I had not realized gloves were standard issue
 Aide Daran says:
:: Looks over his shoulder as he leads the way::  CIV:  Everyone is aware of the meeting, and your desire to ask questions about Atra IV
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::whispers back:: CO: Xenophobia is a noted feature of there culture.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Walks along with the SO and CTO, looking around::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Aide but does not speak:: Self: Everyone?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns  to glance at the direction of the Captain rising an eyebrow in question at the choice of words the aide made::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::gives the CIV an understanding glance::
Aide Daran says:
:: Stopping at the door, he nods to the two guards, one who enters a code into the system.  The doors open to reveal the standard conference room, but only one man waiting.::  All:  I will leave you now.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the aide, taking a step back to allow the Captain first entry::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: Aide: thank you ::enters the room::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Walks down the ramp:: SO:  We currently have a sizable shipment of Beritium.  ::heads for the promenade::
Amb Erant says:
:: Having been staring out the window for the past few chimes, he waits for the door to close before turning around.  In a moment, he takes in a measure of his guests before stepping forward.::  All:  Welcome.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
CTO: Sounds good... ::Follows the CTO as he seems to know where he's heading::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::waits for the others to enter the room, before following them in::
CO Capt Gomes says:
Amb: Ambassador Erant, I am Captain Gomes and these are Commander Maor and Dr. TRae. We appreciate the opportunity to speak to you
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Erant: Ambassador. ::Nods in greeting::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::bows her head slightly but makes no motion to shake heads or any other sort of greeting::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Bows to the ambassador as her name is mention, not a huge bow, but definitely much more then the head nod she gave the aide::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::enters the promenade and looks around::
 Amb Erant says:
CO: I thank you for joining us.  :: waves his hand toward the table and chairs::  Please, take a seat.  Is there anything I may get you or your people?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Spots a bar that looks to be the type they need and heads that way.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods::  OPS/CTO:  I will be your pilot.  Who is captain should anyone ask?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::takes a seat:: Amb: Thank you. I will take some tea, your choice ::smiles::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks ahead to see where Heller is taking them, and spots the bar, liking the commander's choice::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: Erant: No thank you, Ambassador.
 Amb Erant says:
:: Approaching the replicator, he orders the various drinks, waiting a moment for them before bringing them to the table and placing them before his guests.::  CO:  How much do you know of the current situation?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Takes her seat, as offered.:: Amb: water if you don't mind for me.
