SB says:
Last time, on the USS Geneva...
SB says:
Events progressed rapidly, as the vaunted, yet as-of-yet silent, Consortium finally called for a meeting with the Geneva crew. Meanwhile, the biomedical ship returned to the surface, allowing that Away Team to return to the Geneva
SB says:
We now rejoin the crew, who are all assembled outside the meeting hall, a few minutes before the beginning of the meeting...

SB says:
@ <Olpinfa>All: I have to go inside and check-in with the other delegates. You'll be in the Guest Delegate booth, follow the signs inside. This is where I leave you now. The fate of our continued relations now lies inside.
CNS_Bauer says:
@TO: I don't see the Captain. Do you see Mr. Taal?

@CNS: There he is Sir ::points::

@::nods to Hansre, then sees Bauer and goes over to him:: CNS: Counselor, may I have a word with you?
SB says:
@ <Olpinfa>::starts walking away, with a weary look of uncertainty playing across his face... for the first time in awhile, walking with the pain of his age::
Host Fulomar_Larkey (Transporter.wav)
CO_Shras says:
@ :: materialize near the Geneva crew ::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::paw brushes her disruptor and breathes a sigh of relief::
XO_Taal says:
@::spots Ensign Keach pointing at his direction::
CNS_Bauer says:
@TO: Ahh, let's follow him to our seats.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS/TO: Counselor. Ensign.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Approaches XO:: XO: Commander.
TO_Keach says:
@::Nods::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::regards Taal with a nod as well:: XO: Sir... ::turns back to Bauer::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Nice to see reinforcements have finally arrived.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Will the Captain be here as well?
XO_Taal says:
@CTO: Lieutenant.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: He informed me he would be here shortly.
SB says:
@ ACTION: Heard over the outside PA system: "Consortium General Meeting will be in session in five minutes... Entrance doors for participants and gallery visitors will close at that time"
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Yes, Mr. Kizlev....and, how are you?
FCO_Steve says:
::follows signs to designated booth as instructed::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::looks around warily and fumbles in her coat pockets for a cigar::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: That is good I was running out of small talk with these people.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::goes to say something to the Counselor, then turns around and sees the Captain appear:: CO: Captain...?
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: I am certain you did your best.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Steps back to make way for the CO::
CO_Shras says:
@CTO: Chief?
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Aye, Sir. I did.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CO: Welcome back to Briengogh, Sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Moves to near where CTO is::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::wiggles his antennae towards Shras, glad to see him join the delegation::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@CO: Sir, I think it is time we assemble for the meeting.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CO: I think we are to take our place inside now, Sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO/CO: Yes, what he said.
CIV_Azanna says:
@::finds an old cigar and lights it::
FCO_Steve says:
@::takes a seat in the back row of the booth::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::takes a seat between Bauer and Farina and whispers:: CNS: Sir, what are your thoughts about these Briengogh?
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Takes a seat left of the Captain's::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Turns to CTO:: CTO: I think the Briengogh have a lot to learn.
CIV_Azanna says:
@::rolls her eyes and sighs, not believing they dragged her down for this... nothing decent to loot or anything.::
XO_Taal says:
@::Sits down in a seat::
TO_Keach says:
@::Finds an empty seat::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::raps gavel three times:: All: This General Session of The Consortium of Interplanetary Industries shall come to order...
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::nods:: CNS: I share your impression of them as well.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: ...their values are quite different from most. Some might call them misguided or even, lost.
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@::realizes he should have already moved to his seat and quickly assumes his proper place in the hall::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Is silent and listens to the opening of the "big" meeting::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::blows a smoke ring::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> All: This session concerns recent new facts surrounding the Briengogh Light-Ship Contest this Consortium sponsored. Namely, the claim of first contact with the United Federation of Planets, and our subsequent negotiations with said representatives.
SB says:
@ <Chairperson>All: The committee recognizes, and welcomes, the Consortium representative from JelonTek, Mr. Hansre Olpinfa, along with the representatives from the Federation, the crew of the starship USS Geneva.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::carefully eyes all the various people assembled in the meeting hall while trying to listen to the chairperson::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::mumbles under her breath 'I ain't no stinking crrew' and takes another drag::
SB says:
@ <Chairperson> All: The committee also duly appoints for this meeting Mr. Fulomar Larkey, who will moderate the fact-finding session.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Whispers to CO:: CO: Fact-finding session.... sounds more like a hearing of some kind. This could get nasty, Sir.
SB says:
@ <Chairperson>Crew: Representatives of the Federation, before specific questioning begins, this committee is obliged to entertain summary statements from each party involved. You may give such statement now, should you choose so.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Waits to see if the CO will make a statement on behalf of the Federation::
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@Chairperson: I think my biggest question of either corporation here is, when did each of you first contact the Federation, and when did the representatives of the Federation acknowledge said contact??
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Finds these people exasperating::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::looks at the crew, and Mr. Olpinfa::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::exhales and shakes her head::
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@::fidgets in his chair waiting on responses from anyone::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::thinks that maybe he should slip out and call Geneva OPS for a PADD with pertinent sensor data on it::
SB says:
@<Olpinfa> Fulomar: Mr. Larkey, initial contact with the Federation was made via voice-link approximately two micro-cycles after completion of the light-speed test.
SB says:
@ <Chairperson>::notes the Federation delegation is staying very silent::
TO_Keach says:
@::Looks at all the camera personnel as they adjust their instruments::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::blows a nearly perfect smoke ring and grins:: Self: Still got it.
SB says:
@ ACTION: The CO drops to the floor after inhaling too much of the CIV's smoke, TO WHICH hE IS APPARENTLY QUITE ALLERGIC.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::sees the captain's deliberate antennae movements, as if searching for the right words in this momentous occasion::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Looks over at XO::
XO_Taal says:
@::stands up::
XO_Taal says:
@::walks over to the podium::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::watches the one blue person drop to the floor, looks over at Fulomar with a look of "oh great..."::
XO_Taal says:
@::covers the microphone::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Make sure the Captain is all right.
XO_Taal says:
@::turns to the masses::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: People of Briengogh.
CNS_Bauer says:
@TO: Why don't you escort the Captain outside and see to his care.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::sees to the captain and checks for a pulse, given the antennae aren't moving::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::returns to listen to the other crewmember, who's stepped up to the lectern::
TO_Keach says:
@CNS: Aye sir
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: To be honest, I have not been briefed as to the status of our first contact with each other.
TO_Keach says:
@::Moves over to the Captain and pulls him up trying to drag him, and quietly does so towards the doors::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: However, it would be logical to assume that it was moderately successful considering we are here speaking to you all.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::takes one of Shras' arms:: TO: Here, help me lift him up. We'll take him outside.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO/TO: Thank you gentlemen.
XO_Taal says:
@::looks at the crowd::
XO_Taal says:
@::continues::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::nods reluctantly to Bauer as he and Keach move the captain out of the hall::
TO_Keach says:
@::Has one arm over his shoulder:: CTO: Maybe he was sick?
CIV_Azanna says:
@::looks over at the CNS and raises an eyebrow::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Although it may appear to be the end of the long and arduous journey, it has only begun for your people.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@TO: Perhaps due to an allergic reaction of the cigar smoke. My people are not particularly used to such poisonous toxins.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Nods to Grey and smiles a "hello... long time no see... smile, her way::
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@::shifts nervously in his seat waiting for the two company representatives to voice their positions::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Only together, with the entire population united can your planet achieve the peace and harmony that all Federation member planets aspire to achieve.
TO_Keach says:
@CTO: Your people don't smoke?
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Thinks Taal is doing well::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::grins, thinking 'oooh, he smiled at me' and makes a slight blush::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Also, I would recommend you all unite to construct more efficient ships that produce less radiation waste.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::helps the captain out and back to the beam out site:: TO: It is... an unheard of practice on Andor. We cannot grow very many crops, such as tobacco due to the extreme temperatures on our world. *Geneva*: Three to beam up to sickbay.
SB says:
@ <Chairperson>::frowns:: XO: Mr... ? This Consortium, and our planetary culture, has been one of rival competition. How might the Federation assist?
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: The Federation is not about personal gain, but the gain for all.
TO_Keach says:
@CTO: I see. ::Dematerializes::
CTO_Kizlev (Transporter.wav)
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Doesn't think the Briengogh are buying it any better from XO than they did him::
XO_Taal says:
@Chairperson: Once we give our recommendations to the Federation Council, I am certain they would assist you in setting up a planetary government where all voices will be heard.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::beams up to sickbay and finds the nurses gathering around:: MOs: Tell Dr. Kimura the captain is seriously ill due to smoke inhalation. TO: Let's get him onto a bed...
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Only by working together will you... advance as a society.
TO_Keach says:
::Looks for a bio-bed and helps him onto it::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: To quote one of our most noted Ambassadors, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one or few.” All the people of Briengogh need unity. Not just the corporation that allegedly 'won' the race.
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: From the Federation's perspective, no faction or group 'won' anything. The only winners are the people of Briengogh. All of them.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Nicely put, Commander.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stands aside and lets the medical staff do their thing:: TO: We should return to the surface.
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@::listens in stunned silence::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::purses lips, seemingly considering the speech... looks to Mr. Larkey or additional questions::
TO_Keach says:
CTO: If you say so sir ::Hopes the Captain will be alright::
XO_Taal says:
@<Aquaton Rep> XO: What if the JelonTek people don't listen to what Aquaton have to say?
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@XO: Commander Taal, what are you attempting to tell us here......
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks with Keach on the way to the transporter room:: TO: You've spent quite a bit of time on the planet. What are your thoughts of the Briengogh, ensign?
CO_Shras says:
:: regain consciousness ::
CO_Shras says:
Self: Oh my.... what happened?
XO_Taal says:
@Larkey: The Federation Council does not admit factions into the Federation, but entire planets.
SB says:
@<Olpinfa> Chair: JelonTek maintains that it will be happy to utilize whatever planetary resources are available for the advancement of our society.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: I wouldn't know sir, I have spent little time with them
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@Aquaton Rep: I can assure you Mr. ::mumbles his name:: All parties will be heard here today
CIV_Azanna says:
@::leans back in her chair and sighs::
XO_Taal says:
@Aquaton Rep: All voices will be heard.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Nods head in agreement with XO's last comment::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::grins:: TO: I see. Sounds like you were too busy keeping the other officers out of trouble. ::enters the TR and steps onto the pad:: TR Chief: Beam us back to the surface, chief.
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: In the meantime, I suggest you being by communicating with each other.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: Yes sir, indeed I was ::smiles::
SB says:
@ <Chairperson> XO: And how shall the general public be informed of this radical change in our societal structure? We may be easily changed - public opinion is not.
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: It is the most logical step in attaining unity.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: ...and it's the proper thing to do, too.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: I don't have the diplomacy skills needed to deal with them
CTO_Kizlev says:
TO: Good man. I look forward to reading your preliminary report. TR Chief: Energize.
XO_Taal says:
@Chairperson: I do not have all your answers.
XO_Taal says:
@Chairperson: That is something you must work out yourself or with the help of the Federation Council.
XO_Taal says:
@Chairperson: Regardless, we must be on our way.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::appears back outside the meeting hall with Keach and sneaks his way back towards his seat::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> ::sits there, letting the gravity of the situation sink in... Realizes he picked a horrible time to come out of retirement back into politics::
Host Fulomar_Larkey says:
@Chairperson: Mr. Chairperson, and my esteemed colleagues, I think we've just been told by this Federation Representative "Thanks but we'll get back to you later?"
XO_Taal says:
@Chairperson: Expect to be contacted by another Federation vessel within a few days. They would be able to speak on behalf of the Federation Council.
CIV_Azanna says:
@::looks up at Kizlev:: CTO: He gonna be alrright? ::whispered::
SB says:
@<Chairperson> Larkey: And I had hoped it was a simple "the contract needs renegotiation..." ::sighs:: XO: The Consortium thanks you for your input.
XO_Taal says:
@Larkey: If that is how you wish to interpret what I am saying, that is your choice. However, for real progress to be made it would be advisable if representatives of the Federation Council were here to advise you on planetary matters for the good of the Briengogh people.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::nods at Farina and whispers:: CIV: Yes, Kimura's people were all over him in seconds. He'll be fine. ::sits, thinking it might be inappropriate and unprofessional to giggle about the whole thing::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::nods:: CTO: Good.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Stands up. Ready to leave the Briengogh people. Hoping that someday they "get it.”
XO_Taal says:
@::covers the microphone::
XO_Taal says:
@::turns to the crew::
XO_Taal says:
@ALL: Prepare to transport back to the ship.
XO_Taal says:
@::turns back to the representatives of the two corporations::
XO_Taal says:
@JelonTek/Aquaton: I trust when the Federation representatives arrive, the planet will still be in one piece.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::sighs, and nods to Taal, glad the Vulcan managed to take matters into his own hands::
SB says:
@<Olpinfa> ::mouth drops open, shocked at the absurdity of the statement::
XO_Taal says:
@<Aquaton Rep> XO: Yeah, yeah... whatever...
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Think the Briengogh will ever learn what they need to learn? Think we will see them in the Federation someday?
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Only time will tell, Counselor.
XO_Taal says:
@*Geneva*: Taal to Geneva. Away Team to beam up.
SB says:
@ <Chairperson>All: This committee now stands in recess, and will reconvene in executive session in one cycle. ::raps gavel thing::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Follows the others out, off Briengogh and home to the Geneva::
CIV_Azanna says:
@::sighs, glad to be going somewhere familiar::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::stands and beams up with his friends and crewmates::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Thinks Goliath must be hungry. Seems like I've been gone for months::
