Summary:
The Captain and Counselor are en route to meet with the lord in his underwater palace, while the rest of the senior staff go on a shopping trip on one of the islands. What discoveries will be made? Only time with tell… time and patience.

Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10702.10: We have been granted an Audience with the Planet's Lord.  I hope to stall enough time to give Commander Jackson enough time to give us a sense of direction of where the children are.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Walking towards the market place, looking around, interested in the area but trying not to look too suspicious::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Pulls his jacket on:: CNS: You ready?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pulls at the collar of his coat:: CO: This is quite a getup.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ :: Strolling along curiously, looking at all the different races she had never seen before and many never heard, taking general scans unobtrusively.::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Yes.  ::Pulls on his collar::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::following the SO scanning as he goes::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::checks on the sample containers in his pack::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Is amazed at the diversity of people. Even at the market place they were now approaching, not a single local species is to be found:: SO/CMO: Strange... Even the public services are provided by alien species..
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Shall we head off to meet the Lord?
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ XO: Well, if the main populace of this planet is water-breathers, that might make sense on these islands.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Yes, it is almost time.  ::Thinks this is like the Wizard of OZ::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@SO: So all the land dwellers here are from foreign sources?
Host Matri says:
:: Arriving.  Bows low.::  CO: Captain Monroe.  I am to escort you to my lord Sedua, if you will come with me.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at Matri:: Matri: Lead the way..
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::fidgets again and nearly makes a comment about emerald glasses::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@CMO: It looks like it.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Tries to listen to what is being said around them, his ears open for anything of use to them:: CMO/SO: Do either of you have specific shopping wishes? ::Smiles, waving his hand at the market place:: I think we could best mix in with the crowd..
Host Matri says:
:: Turns around and as silently as he arrived, silently guides the aliens to his water vehicle.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::follows Matri::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Follows behind the rest::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@SO: Intriguing.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ XO: shopping on an alien world?  With all to see?  That is an easy one.
Host Matri says:
:: Stopping at the door, opens it and bows the two males in.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets into the vehicle::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Gets in::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ CMO: Given all the variety here, I think I could easily empty anyone’s purse.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Smiles:: SO: I knew you would say that... Keep your ears open though, for anything that could help us. And if you see something of interest.. Don't hesitate to ask questions.. Remember, the mineral's medium quality version comes from here, the captain's team found it.. It may well be on sale here, for make-up use..
Host Matri says:
:: Closing the door, moves to the front and climbs in.  Activates various controls that place a shield around the vehicle, and then takes it slowly off the ground and toward the ocean.::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@SO: I wonder what they use for currency here. ::smiles::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ :: Looks around:: XO: You think?  Makeup... what a concept.  I wonder why this ingredient would be of such interest.
Host Matri says:
:: After a moment, takes the vehicle down into the waters.::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Shrugs:: CMO: Not a clue.. but we'll find out soon enough when we tell them we're not sure and we're first time visitors.. SO: Perhaps the mineral makes the make-up last longer?
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::browses through the stalls as he passes them::
Host Matri says:
Scenery: Out the side windows, can be seen only water glowing by the lowering sun.  The further they go, more and more simple life forms can be seen.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Interesting scenery.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ CMO: I have no idea... only one way to find out.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Yes, you can see a new world down here.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
<down>
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Stops at a stall, looking through the various items on display:: SO: What do you make of these?
Host Matri says:
Scenery: The further down they go, a glow can be seen off in the horizon, remnant of vast city off in the distance.  Shortly the simpler life forms seem to become fewer and the waters darker.  However along the 'path' they are taking, small glowing markers appear as if they were on a road.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: You think it might be interesting down here?
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ :: Reaches for some pieces and starts to pick one up:: XO: Jewellery?
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
::has a look at another stall while the XO and SO look at the jewellery::
Host Matri says:
Scenery: The vehicle finally comes to ground and slowly enters through two large gates that are slowly opening upon their approach.  A glow can be seen surrounding the area as a whole.  Slowly it makes its way up a long winding 'drive'.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CNS: Wow this is beautiful down here
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets his tongue back:: CO: Indeed it is.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the item:: SO: Could be.. ::Picks up something else from the stall:: And the accompanying container.. Perhaps?
Host Matri says:
ACTION: As the vehicle pulls up to the front of the building, a shield is activated around it.  Soon all the water within that sphere is removed.  The driver steps out and opens the door for the two off worlders.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Gets out of the vehicle::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ ::Clears her voice as the obvious proprietor comes up.:: XO: Yes... and most lovely it is.  :: Puts the piece down.::
Host Matri says:
ACTION: From the building another man approaches and with a low bow, escorts the two up the long steps to the entry door.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::walks behind the man::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the sales person approaching them::
Host Matri says:
Scenery: The vastness of the hall takes second only to the elegance of it.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::doesn't find anything of use to him and moves on to the next stall::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks around the hall:: Self: Wow, this is huge.
Host Matri says:
ACTION: With measured steps the major domo leads the two to a small salon.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@Proprietor: Ah, hello... Some nice things you have here... ::Glances at Rose::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Walks up the steps::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@:: shrugs with a smile::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@<Proprietor> XO: Ah, yes.. Yes indeed.. A pretty little necklace it is, I am sure it will look great on your girlfriend here... ::Beams, looking from Jackson to Rose::
Host Matri says:
ACTION: The two men are motioned to stand aside, while the major domo continues over to what appears to be an airlock.  He rings a gong and steps aside, calling out 'His Grace, High Duke Sedua of Citwauqa'.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods slowly:: Proprietor: Yes.. I am sure it would.. How much is it? ::Looks the jewellery over again for a moment::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Stands aside::
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ Proprietor: I was wondering... I have heard of a type of ummm... make-up with a base that is used from the mineral of this planet.  I was wondering if you knew who might carry some of this?
Duke_Sedua says:
::a flash of movement in the water outside is there and gone in a moment, disappearing to one side of the chamber. At the end of it, above a small stairs, Sedua steps through a door, a small torrent of water coming through with him, quickly draining through a grate in the floor:: ::accepts a robe from two attendants to cover his golden skin::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: From the airlock a very elegant, very dignified man steps through.  His skin is a pale golden hue.  His hair is white.  And he stands at 1.25 meters.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::looks round to see where Aaron is::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::turns as Sedua arrives::
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@::makes his way back, sees the Doctor and yells::  CMO:  Heading your way Caelan!
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Turns and looks at Sedua::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the proprietor, wondering whether he is going to answer at all:: Proprietor: I was wondering that too, actually.. We wish to acquire some..
Duke_Sedua says:
::descends the staircase, his skin and the robe's material drying quickly:: ::crosses the salon, approaching the visitors:: CO/CNS: On behalf of my people, I welcome you to Citwauqa!
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::spins round and sees the FCO approaching from the other side:: FCO: Damnit Aaron don't sneak up on me like that. ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Sedua: It is our pleasure to be here.  I am Captain Sid Monroe, from the USS Nighthawk, this is Commander Varesh my Counselor.
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@::grins::  CMO:  What's life without any surprises?!
Host Gisso says:
@XO/SO: Now would such a lovely young woman need make-up to disguise her fair skin.  It should be accented with lovely jewels.  :: beings to pull out others for them to look over.::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Quiet, easy, take your pick ::grins:: What do you think of this place?
Duke_Sedua says:
::puts on an expression that might appear to be a smile, while he gently corrects:: CO: "..a pleasure to be here, Your Grace."
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods slowly:: Gisso: Depending on the circumstances.. Ours warrant some.. Disguising, as you name it...
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Blushes:: Sedua: Yes your grace.
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@::looks around::  CMO:  Very interesting place...one could get lost in here.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Yeah, maybe we should keep an eye on those two, make sure they don't wander off. ::smirks::
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Have you found anything of interest Caelan?
Duke_Sedua says:
::looks them over, if he's intimidated by their relative size it doesn't show:: CO/CNS: We have never had people such as you here before. We are a pluralistic society, but even so, strange arrivals are always a cause of interest and celebration. I hope that such focus will not embarrass you?
Host Gisso says:
@ ::Shakes his head::  XO: There is only one shop on this planet that sells such make-up, the rest is sold off planet.  It really is not good for one of such... fair skin.  :: Looks at the female.::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Not yet, but there are plenty of stalls round here so we ought to find something of use.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@Gisso: When you say, not good.. You mean it is not a healthy product to use?
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Sedua: Of course it won't, your grace.  ::Looks to his left:: CNS: Right?
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Yeah, I guess you and I should stay close......so I promise no more wandering off!  ::grins::
Host Gisso says:
@XO: No.  In the long run, it ages and discolors the skin.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ ::wrinkles her nose::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Well at least that way you won't be sneaking up on me. ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: Gisso: But we are not looking for lengthy and frequent use... ::Glances over at Rose for a moment:: Where might this shop be, that sells them on this world?
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@::laughs::  CMO:  I never pictured you as the "jumpy" type Doc!
Duke_Sedua says:
::sees no objection from the other and carries on:: CO: Good! Then celebration it is. Please, choose any seat you like. I will have food and drink brought for you. And in honor of this special event, I have arranged for entertainment. I trust you are not averse to some spectacle and wonder?
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ Gisso: Besides, it is not for me, but him.  :: Points at Gary with a hint of humor in her eyes.::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Walks to a seat:: Sedua: Of course not, your grace.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Let's just say I'm not used to away missions and strange planets... makes me edgy.
Host Gisso says:
@ Ahhh... :: Not understanding at all, but then they are aliens.::  Go down that isle there to the end.  Turn left.  Then go past three isles until you come to a large building.  You will enter that.  It is one of the ground floor shops.
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Might want to stay away from the caffeine too Caelan.
Duke_Sedua says:
::makes a sound like a warbling high-pitched whistle and the attendants mysteriously reappear. Talks to them quickly and sends some off to bring the items while another two pull out his chair for him::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: But I haven't had any coffee today.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods his thanks at the person:: Gisso: Thank you, you have been most helpful.. Perhaps we will be back to make some purchases still... What was your name again? May be easier to find you that way..
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Actually, coffee sounds good about now.
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Yeah... a nice Irish coffee. ::grins::
Duke_Sedua says:
::leans over a bit:: CO: Being the sole provider of Karrium and Brazhonite is quite the advantage. It affords us access to many delights. For your evening's entertainment, I have secured the services of the Praxean Tumblers. The premier performing troupe in the entire sector. I hope that you will enjoy them.
Host Gisso says:
@ :: Smiles politely, knowing a customer once lost rarely returns.:: XO: I am Gisso.  I specialize in the landoin gems from the third moon of Tricon.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ :: Glances around for the other two members of this team.::
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  You know how to make my mouth water!
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: Gisso: I will remember that.. ::Turns to leave the stand and looks around a moment to find the CMO and FCO a few stalls up the row::
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@FCO: Hey, you know that could be taken the wrong way.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ XO: Are we going to pick some up?  I have in mind to test it out.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Sits back and relaxes, and watches the performance::
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@::laughs::  CMO:  Relax Caelan, I'm talking about the Irish coffee!  ::leans his body back somewhat and looks past Caelan::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: SO: We are indeed.. But mainly to find out which sort of clients visit the shop and purchase the stuff...
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ XO: If it is mostly sold offworld, we may have a problem with that...
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I think the Commander and Brianna are ready to go.....we should catch up.
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Never mind, they're coming this way.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
<Edit out the last part>
CMO_LtJG_Trigger says:
@::grins and looks over to the XO and SO:: FCO: So then we go that away. ::points::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
<of my line the "... And...>
FCO_Lt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Guess we should see what they found out.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@SO: We'll try to find out whether this particular shop has more branches elsewhere... If they are a big supplier, they just may.. ::Smiles as they join the CMO and FCO again, wondering whether they found out anything at all::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Sedua: I hope we will have a great trading relationship, your grace.  ::Smiles::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: A staff, far different in appearance from Sedua arrive, bringing in one tray after another of food, where they then lay it upon a large buffet.  They turn around, awaiting the signal to then proceed.
SO_Lt_Rose says:
@ FCO: Aaron... I found just the stuff to help you out in your debut....
