Mission Summary - “Gateway To The Stars, Part II”
	 The diplomatic party from the Nacandarian vessels were received aboard the Huron, led by Representative Vellex of the Representative Council of Nacandar, and a most unexpected guest, Queen Val'Tra of Nacandar. The party, consisting of three in the Queen's entourage and Vellex and the Queen herself, are brought up to the Conference Room to meet with Captain Knight and the senior officers of Huron. Perhaps now, the crew shall receive some answers to the many questions that have appeared: Who were these people? Why were they here? Who are they escaping from? What can we do to help?
	Who these people were... remained unclear. However, they did manage to shed some light on their... oppressors, who have seemingly ruled over their territory for several centuries. It seemed that it was only now that the Nacandarians have managed to find some success in locating a suitable place to hide... our dimension. For the while, however, it seems unlikely that the V'Rax will be able to locate them here. And, Queen Val'Tra has requested a meeting with the Federation Council... to discuss the possibility of the Nacandarians being granted asylum. In the meantime, the Huron crew will continue their investigations, as well as sending over a team to assess damages on the Nacandarian vessels. Furthermore, support vessels begin to enter the system... and all the while, the crew remains vigilant of any other activity that may arise...

Host Jamie_O says:
Summary: The U.S.S. Huron visits the Pi Stanilus Sector to find the beginnings of a spatial rift.  After more study, the rift is discovered to be an interdimensional gateway. First contact has been established with an Insectoid named Vellex, who claims to be a representative of the Planet Nacandar. Presently, a formal reception party is being formed onboard the Huron to welcome the not-so-invited guests.

Host CO_Knight says:
FCO:  Dylan, please recommend to SFC that back-up would be a priority.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::makes sure that engineering is running smoothly before heading for the turbolift and the bridge::
FCO_Roznine says:
::nods, smiling over his shoulder:: CO: Aye, sir. I should have contact in the next minute.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Slides to a stop outside the TL, nearly colliding with a cleaning crew.::
Host CO_Knight says:
::looks up::  CSO:  Yes Lt., what can I do for you?
XO_Woo says:
::steps out and into the transporter room; and nods to the security presence:: Transporter Chief: Is the Nacandarian party ready for beam-over?
Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.  Please make sure they are attended to.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters TL.:: Cleaning Crew: Sorry, gotta find out why those red flashers are on.  TL: Bridge.
CSO_Sky says:
CO:  Sir, we have gotten the basics of the ships outer hull damage and Lt Rey can begin working through it.  I need to go to the other ships to gather the rest of the information for a comparison.  I need both your permission and the permission of the other captains... which could be tricky.
FCO_Roznine says:
::composes his thoughts and smiles at the Admiral's aide.:: COM: Lt. Bismarck: Lt. I need to speak to the Admiral on behalf of Captain Knight.
Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  Understood.  Perhaps once we greet our guests and learn a bit more about them, we could then ask for a joint inspection.
Host Jamie_O says:
<Lt Bismarck> COM: Huron: FCO: Yes, Lieutenant, Admiral Cresswell will be with you shortly
FCO_Roznine says:
COM: Bizmarck: Thank you, Lieutenant.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::steps onto the bridge and over to the engineering console and relieves the officer there while she checks on a few things::
CSO_Sky says:
::Nods::  CO:  When you are ready let me know.  ::with a familiar tilt of her head, returns to her station.::
XO_Woo says:
::walks over to the console:: COM: Nacandarian Vessel: We are ready to receive your party.
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
<Nacandarian Vessel> *XO* We look forward to seeing you soon....
Host CO_Knight says:
::smiles::  CSO:  Of course.  Oh, by the way, have you come up with anything as to how or why the rift occurred?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters Bridge, panting slightly.::  TO: OK, what are those things out there, and why are they running with us?
TO_Dem`Rual says:
Angeltra: Could please increase the security personal at these areas.  ::Shows a PADD of the recommend areas, mostly the Medical Labs, Engineering, and all the Weapons Areas::
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
COM: FCO: Lieutenant Roznine, how may I be of service?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Angeltra> TO: Aye, sending them now.
XO_Woo says:
Transporter Chief: Energize. ::watches, and braces himself, as the transporter is activated::
Host CO_Knight says:
::sees Ec'Thel'lon enter::  CTO:  Welcome back.  I trust you enjoyed your time away?
CSO_Sky says:
::Pauses and turns around.::  CO:  Not with the data we have.  I can only make suppositions at the moment.  ::Smiles::  I really do look forward to talking to their scientists.  I hope they are not bound to some code of silence... like our prime directive.
CMO_Harek says:
::his search through the database doesn't turn up any relevant information::
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
ACTION: five parties appear on the platform, One dressed in Imperial robes and dominating the rest of the group
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: They are the Nacandarians and they apparently claim that they are seeking exile from their enemies in their home system.
Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  That would pose a bit of a problem now wouldn't it?  Let's hope their trusting and open.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Enjoyed or found it useful?  They weren't the most fun folks I've been around.  Had no sense of competition, even off duty.
FCO_Roznine says:
COM: ADM: Thank you for taking my comm so quickly, sir. I have been asked by Captain Knight to advise you of an insectoid race that has entered our dimension, they wish to settle the planet in the system we are currently in. They have been sent into exile voluntarily, sir.
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
COM: FCO: Copy that Lieutenant. what is the captain's recommendations at this time?
CSO_Sky says:
CO:  Captain... to receive trust, we must give trust.  This is what troubles me about asking to check their weapons to verify if they are telling us the truth or not.
Host CO_Knight says:
::chuckles::  CTO:  We missed you too, Ec'Thel'lon.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Exiles?  Convenient timing.
XO_Woo says:
::walks towards the insectoid who clearly appears to be their leader::  Vellex: Greetings. I am Cmdr. Eric Woo, this vessel's executive officer. Welcome to the Huron. ::smiles, and bows::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::wonders if these Nacandarians have engineers aboard that she might talk to and glean what makes their ships tick::
CSO_Sky says:
::nods to the CTO as the captain maintains his conversation with the two of them.::
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
ACTION: Vellex steps forward from the rest of the group
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Why is that convenient, sir?
Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  I am giving them our trust.  Investigating their hull damage and trying to make a determination as to the cause, is not something to mistrust us for.
FCO_Roznine says:
COM: ADM: Sir, we are meeting with them to get more information as to why they are going into exile. The Captain did request that back-up be sent as soon as possible, sir. This race has capabilities that can create inter-dimensional rifts.
CSO_Sky says:
CO:  But our motives...  ::Gives a slight shrug::
CMO_Harek says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CO* I was just wondering if at all possible, if you could find out if one of the aliens wouldn't mind coming to sickbay, I would really like to examine their species.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Didn't the mission orders include information about a previously unknown Class M world?  But did Lieutenant Roznine just say insect race?
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
<Vellex> ::Bows:: I am Representative Vellex of the Representative Council of Nacandar, and this is my Queen, Val'Tra
Host CO_Knight says:
*CMO*:  I would like to at least meet this species first before requesting they be put under a microscope.  Let's see how the meeting goes first, shall we?
XO_Woo says:
Vellex: Ah. Representative. Val'Tra: Your Majesty. ::bows:: Please. ::beckons them to step off the transporter pad::
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
COM: FCO: Copy that. We have also a Science Vessel, you may know her, she's from your area as well, the USS Ynes en route now, do you require any additional resources?
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
ACTION: the Queen curtseys and follows her entourage
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I'm not totally sure but I believe that those were said.
CMO_Harek says:
*CO* Of Course, Sir, wouldn't want them to think I'm running an evil laboratory down here.
Host CO_Knight says:
::chuckles at the Dr.'s statement::
XO_Woo says:
Vellex: Given the seriousness of your situation, perhaps we ought to get right down to business. We are prepared to discuss your situation in our conference room. If you will follow me?
FCO_Roznine says:
COM: ADM:  They did sustain damage to their ships, but have not made any overt signs of aggression. At this time it seems they just require a planet to settle... not that Captain Knight can tell them yea or nay. If we require additional resources we'll contact you again, sir. Do you have any instructions at this stage?
XO_Woo says:
*CO* Captain, we have received Representative Vellex... and Queen Val'Tra and her entourage.
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
<Vellex> XO: I believe that would be the most prudent thing to do.
CSO_Sky says:
::Looks over the data and pulls up a diagram the computer has generated of the ships.  Rey and she quietly discuss  the various points of damage and stress to the hulls.::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::walks over to Roz and whispers::FCO: Roz, have they requested help to repair their ships yet?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Could be interesting.  Never read much insect literature.   Although I've heard of them...  ::Pauses and grins.:: Devouring a good deal of literature in the past.
XO_Woo says:
::looks to the side and winks at the security officers standing by in the corridors, as he motions for the entourage to exit and move towards the turbolift::
Host ADM_Cresswell says:
COM: FCO: Just follow first contact procedures, please report again on the hour. Starfleet out
Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  Understood.  Please see if they care for any quarters to freshen up.  Once everyone is settled, I'll join you in the conference room.
CSO_Sky says:
Rey:  I would really like more data from the ship then what we have here... not to mention the other ships on the other side.
FCO_Roznine says:
::closes the comm:: EO: Not yet, Holly. They might request it during the meeting.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: I'm going to take a few minutes to review the sensor logs.  Sounds like I missed a great deal.
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I've read books about regular insects but nothing this close to being humanoid.
XO_Woo says:
Vellex: Ah, yes. Perhaps your party would prefer to... freshen up somewhat before the conference?
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::nods::FCO: I suppose so. Thanks, catch you later. ::smiles and walks back to the engineering console::
CSO_Sky says:
<Rey> CSO:  I have no idea what... ::Pauses as the CSO holds up her hand.::
CMO_Harek says:
Computer: Look up entomology.
FCO_Roznine says:
::turns his chair and gets up, walking over to the Captain:: CO: Sir, I have spoken to Admiral Cresswell.
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Very well, sir....What would you like me to do now?
Host Vellex says:
XO: I do not believe that would be necessary, Commander.
Host CO_Knight says:
FCO:  Understood.  Did he give any further instructions?
CSO_Sky says:
::Seeing the lights alter on her console, she reads the incoming data.::  CO:  Captain, I am picking up a federation vessel.  Nova class, entering the system.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Slides to Tac 2 and begins reviewing what we've already discovered.::  TO: How many ships were left behind when the rift closed?
Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  That would probably be the Ynes.  Please confirm.
CSO_Sky says:
::Runs the ships transponder through the computer.::  CO:  It is the USS Ynes.
XO_Woo says:
Vellex: Very well. If you have any needs, simply ask. ::grins:: Please step into the turbolift. Turbolift: Conference Room.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Stay manning Tactical.  For right now, there is too much I don't know about the situation.
FCO_Roznine says:
::perches on the edge of Eric's chair:: CO: He said that we are to follow First Contact procedures, and report in every hour. He also advised that the Ynes is coming. ::smiles as he hears Sky's report::
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I don't believe they left any behind.
Host CO_Knight says:
::nods at Sky::  FCO:  Hail the Ynes and inform them of the situation.  Have them standing by and ready if need be.
CMO_Harek says:
::looks at the computer query with boos full of information displayed on the screen::
FCO_Roznine says:
::stands up again and goes back to his console:: CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Wasn't there two groups?
XO_Woo says:
::smiles at the entourage as the turbolift continues up to the conference room:: *Senior officers* Please prepare to head for the conference room.
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I think the other group was their enemy.
FCO_Roznine says:
::composes the message and sends it over to the Ynes, who confirms receipt:: CO: Message sent and confirmed, sir.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Were we able to scan them before the rift closed?
Host CO_Knight says:
FCO:  Thank you Dylan.
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: No.
CSO_Sky says:
<Rey> ::Seeing the CSO done, returns to what he was saying.::  CSO:  These rooms here, our sensors are having problems with them, but they appear to be rather large.  I am picking up life forms in them, so they could just be a place where they put their people in order to get as many aboard as possible.
CSO_Sky says:
::nods::  Rey:  Possible.
FCO_Roznine says:
::nods and taps a few controls before getting ready to go into the conference room::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::hears the XO's message and calls the relief engineering officer over to cover the station again::
XO_Woo says:
::the doors open and he ushers the group out and into the conference room:: Vellex: Please make yourselves comfortable. Would any of you like a beverage of some sort, or some refreshment?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Too bad.  It's almost a cliche, but knowledge is indeed power.
CSO_Sky says:
::Looks over what they have::  Rey:  Then what we have says that they are telling the truth about being attacked and that we have no idea how they opened the rift.
Host Vellex says:
XO: We shall wait here. we have no needs to be addressed
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Depending on if you know how to use that knowledge.
CSO_Sky says:
<Rey> ::nods a bit sheepishly::  CSO:  Looks like that.
FCO_Roznine says:
::gets up and smiles as Travis slides into the helm seat. Walking over to Holly, he glances around the bridge:: EO: Ready?
CSO_Sky says:
Rey:  I do hope they are not a secretive race, though if what they say is true, I will not hold out too much hope.
XO_Woo says:
::smiles, and remains standing as the party settles down... before fully realizing that he is surrounded by insectoids...::
CSO_Sky says:
::Takes the downloaded information and adds it to her science brief.::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
FCO: I guess so, although I don't know what help I can be in there.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: After we leave the conference room, run a few passive scans of those ships.  Try and work out a few defensive strategies, both against them and to protect them if need be.
Host CO_Knight says:
All:  I suggest everyone join me in the conference room.  ::gets up::
FCO_Roznine says:
EO: Don't sell yourself short. I guess they will require some repairs. ::walks with her towards the conference room::
CSO_Sky says:
Rey:  See what information you can gain about their power source.  What do they use.  I will talk with you later.  ::nods to him and turns to join the captain.::
TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Aye sir. ::Moves towards the conference room::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
FCO: Probably, but I doubt I will understand their systems I'm afraid.
XO_Woo says:
::wonders where the senior officers are, that they should take so long for even one to arrive...::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs a PADD with the rest of the log information and heads into the conference room.::
FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles as the doors open and he lets her precede him:: EO: Part of the fun, isn't it?
Host CO_Knight says:
::stands outside the conference room, waiting to walk in after everyone else::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::steps in the conference room and turns to Roz::FCO: You and your fun! ::giggles::
CSO_Sky says:
::Slips past the captain as he apparently wants them in first.  Moves to take a seat.::
TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Takes a seat towards the end of the room::
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins and leads the way to the table, winking at Ethan as they pass him:: EO: Its a way of looking at things.
Host CO_Knight says:
::enters the conference room and looks for Eric::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Tries to hide his reaction upon seeing the Insectoid humanoids.  Not what he expected for some reason.::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::looks for a seat::FCO: Ahuh.
CMO_Harek says:
::heads into sickbay, releasing the equipment was put back after the ship went to red alert, begins putting stuff away:: Nurse Joy: Could you help clean this place up a bit.
XO_Woo says:
CTO: Lieutenant. ::grins:: Good to see you back.
FCO_Roznine says:
::sits down and waits for the meeting to start::
CSO_Sky says:
::Looks across at the FCO and nods a greeting.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Thank you sir.  I couldn't leave you guys to have all the fun out here.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::sits next to Roz and can't help but stare at their guests and whispers::FCO: Interesting looking aren't they?
XO_Woo says:
CO: Captain. ::smiles:: May I introduce Representative Vellex... and the Queen of the Nacandarians, Val'Tra.
CMO_Harek says:
<Nurse Joy> CMO: Will do, Sir
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Besides, that CID team was no fun.  Couldn't even get a card game going after ho...::Stops as the introductions begin.::
CSO_Sky says:
::Her eyes move towards the first officer and the strangers around him.::
FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles at Sky, leaning over towards Holly, also whispering:: EO: That's an understatement if you ask me.
Host CO_Knight says:
::bows to the Queen::  Val'Tra:  Nice to meet you Your Majesty.  Welcome aboard the Starship, USS Huron.
XO_Woo says:
Val'Tra: May I present our captain, Captain Knight.
Host Vellex says:
::Looks over at Hir Queen::
CSO_Sky says:
::Gives into the temptation and does a quiet scan of the aliens and nods at something confirmed.::
Host Vellex says:
<Val'Tra> Greetings, Captain. I am Queen Val'Tra of the Representative Council of Nacandar
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Wonders if the term Queen is political or biological?::
CMO_Harek says:
::goes back to the storage facilities and starts taken inventory on medication::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Please be seated your majesty.  I'd like to go over what you are requesting.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::waits for the introductions to be completed and the meeting to start::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  I hope you don't mind, but I wanted my senior staff here to meet you and your species as well.
Host Vellex says:
<Val'Tra> ::nods as her party sits::
Host Vellex says:
<Val'Tra> CO: That is a logical request. Your entourage is encouraged to participate.
FCO_Roznine says:
::sits quietly, watching the proceedings::
Host CO_Knight says:
::nods and bows his head::  Val'Tra:  Thank you.
CSO_Sky says:
::Looks down humorously as she has become part of the captain's entourage.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Wonders about the wording "encouraged to participate".  Participate in what?::
FCO_Roznine says:
::catches Sky's eye across the table and smiles, mouthing the word "entourage" at her::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Now, from what I gather, you were attacked in your dimension and are requesting exile here in ours.  Is that correct your majesty?
TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Sits quietly, as he takes in what's happening around him.::
CSO_Sky says:
::Catching the flight officers response as well, nods, keeping the humor to her eyes.::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: That is correct, Captain. We have lived in an area of our space that has been under V'Rax rule for several centuries.
FCO_Roznine says:
::composes his features and pays attention to the proceedings::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  So why now?  Why would you request exile after so many centuries?
TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Wonders what these V'Rax look like and how they oppose a threat.::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
ALL: The V'Rax came to our world and began attacking the planet from above. We mustered all of the available resources we could before the invasion came, and took to Deep Space. Before Long, we had become the fugitives of the Galaxy, and were no longer considered safe in our dimension.
CMO_Harek says:
::finishes his inventory and heads back to his office::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  I'm a bit curious.  Are you able to control the rift that you came through?  And if you are, will the V'Rax be able to do the same?
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::listens quietly::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: the V'Rax are very deceptive, and powerful. They control much of the Galaxy on our side and no one is safe from them.  So far, we have been the only group from Nacandar who has successfully left.  We have been working on this technology to open subspace for several months.
XO_Woo says:
::looks around, and wonders where the CMO is::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: For now, we are the only ones who possess this technology, unless the V'Rax are able to obtain it from us.  Those who possess it are prepared to defend it with their lives...
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Val'Tra: Was the attack the first contact your people had with the V'Rax?
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Would your species be willing to share that information if given permission to stay?
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CTO: The V'Rax have ruled the area of space which we come from for centuries. They are tyrants, oppressors.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods and bows slightly, hoping bowing is part of their culture.::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: We have studied your area of space for some time and are sure that your mighty ship is not alone in this galaxy. we would like to see your superiors
XO_Woo says:
::sends a message on his padd to the doctor's console asking where he is and why he isn't in the conference room::
CSO_Sky says:
::Listens quietly, recording what is being said, listening to intonations and watching body language.::
CMO_Harek says:
::hears a message beep for him and reads it:: Self: Conference room???
FCO_Roznine says:
::listens to the bit about the technology::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  I'm sure if all goes well, you will certainly be meeting my superior.  Protocol dictates that we assess the entire situation, and if all looks appropriate, the recommendation will be made by us to allow you to stay.  But my superiors will have the final say.  All I can do is recommend.
CMO_Harek says:
::sends a message back to the XO stating he wasn't invited to the conference room:
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: Our being allowed possession of this planet is essential to the survival of the species captain
TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Thinks if the have the ability to make subspace rifts, how strong is their weaponry.::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Oh, we will do everything in our power to help save your species.
CSO_Sky says:
::Makes a note that the queen is well educated as well as her bearing being very regal.  She would not willing do anything commanded of her.::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: What is the process of this said application, and how may we proceed?
FCO_Roznine says:
::blinks, wondering if he missed a turn somewhere at the mention of application::
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::leans over to Roz::FCO: So, do you think Starfleet will allow them to stay Roz?
FCO_Roznine says:
EO: At this stage I cannot tell. They seem friendly enough, but even  Denebian mudpuppy looks harmless, until it attacks you.
CMO_Harek says:
::sends another message to the XO: XO: ::message:: Is there something going on in the conference room?
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  What I would like to do, with your permission of course, is send some of my crew over to one of your ships to learn more about you and your species.  You can stay onboard the Huron while we help with any repairs.  Once that is done, we will escort you to our home planet of Earth.
XO_Woo says:
::frowns as he reads his padd:: CMO: ::types:: Yes, it is a first-contact situation, and I kindly requested all senior officers be present, doctor...
CSO_Sky says:
::Her eyes turn back to the queen, hoping the answer will be yes.::
CMO_Harek says:
XO: ::message:: It was nice that I was invited, I'm on my way
CMO_Harek says:
::gets up from his desk and rushes to the bridge::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: Many of our people are suffering as a result of the attacks. We desperately need medical supplies.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::wonders if what Roz said could be true about these new "friends" as well::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Wonders how much their ship computers store of "Trivial Information".
Host CO_Knight says:
::looks for the Doctor::  Val'Tra:  I'm sure our Dr. will be here any second.  He will be glad to assist in any way he can.
FCO_Roznine says:
::sees the momentary doubt crossing Holly's face:: EO: I usually try for the best in someone, before thinking the worst.
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Will you be willing to share any information you have on the V'Rax, with us?
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
ACTION: Message to XO Woo. the CST USS Pelee Islander is en route and will be in the area in 16 hours
CMO_Harek says:
::steps of the turbolift on to the bridge and steps through the conference room doors:: All: I apologize for being late. ::glares at the Captain::
XO_Woo says:
CO: Yes, captain, he is on his way...
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
<Vellex> ::Hands the CO a disk::
Host CO_Knight says:
CMO:  Dr., I'm not sure why you are late, and frankly I don't want to know.  That will never happen again, understood?
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
FCO: Well at least they've never seen you at your worst... the pants remember? ::smiles again::
FCO_Roznine says:
::tries not to laugh:: EO: And there I thought I was at my best.
CMO_Harek says:
::sits down::
XO_Woo says:
::glances at his padd, reading the message, and nods his head slightly:: CO: Pelee Islander approaching, ETA 16 hours.
Host CO_Knight says:
::receives the disk from Vellex::  Val'Tra:  Thank you your majesty.  Now, if there is anything you need while you are here onboard, please do not hesitate to ask any of my crew for anything.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Val'Tra: You said you are the first of the Nacandar to arrive in this dimension.  Are others following?
Host CO_Knight says:
::nods at Eric::  XO:  Understood.
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::nudges Roz slightly::FCO: Well you have the best....::pauses::
FCO_Roznine says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: EO: Do I want to know?
Host CO_Knight says:
CMO:  I'm waiting for an answer, Doctor.
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CTO: Presently, there are other ships in our dimension that are being sought from the V'Rax.  How many have survived, or will be able to survive long enough is hard to tell
EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::just winks at Roz and looks back over to the Queen::
CMO_Harek says:
CO: No, Sir it won't happen again
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Val'Tra: Thank you, your highness.  While I hope they all can escape tyranny, I hope we can find a way to make a smooth entry.
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CTO/CO: Your assistance during this transition has been exemplary.
Host CO_Knight says:
::nods at the Dr::  CMO:  Her majesty has requested some medical supplies for her species.  I'm putting you in charge of that.  I'm sure they will be more than happy for your assistance.
Host CO_Knight says:
::bows his head::  Val'Tra:  We just want to make you feel welcome and we want you to trust us.  We wouldn't be sitting here if we weren't interested in assisting you.  ::smiles::
CMO_Harek says:
Val'Tra: I would be happy to oblige, your majesty, however I would like someone from your species to run a couple of harmless scans on first, so I don;t give you any medical supplies. that might cause further damage
FCO_Roznine says:
::shifts idly in his seat::
Host CO_Knight says:
Val'Tra:  Can I have one of my security officers escort you to some living quarters?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Val'Tra: Learning of other species is something we place great value on, and helping them is something we strive to do.  In this case, it would be great to do both.
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
::Motions to Vardor:: CMO: Vardor is our chief surgeon. He will assist you.
CMO_Harek says:
::nods head::
Host Queen_Val'Tra says:
CO: I would enjoy that.

::wonders when this meeting will end::
Host CO_Knight says:
