CO von Krieg says:
       COM: Regent: Regent, we greet  you with open hands, willing to help. I am Captain von Krieg.

Host Regent Tolth says:
         Com vK: Yes Captain, My people suffer at the hand of others

CNS Janan says:
       ::watches and listens::

CSO Stidd says:
       ::Listens without being obvious::

CO von Krieg says:
COM: Regent: We are here to mediate. My Executive Officer and Counsellor have               volunteered  for the privilege of assisting you in your time of crisis. ::motions for XO and
         CNS to step forward::

XO Starks says:
       :: steps forward ::

CNS Janan says:
         ::takes a deep breath and steps forward::

Host Regent Tolth says:
COM: vK: This is why you were greeted by the old scriptures. You see, my people are                       highly spiritual, and in times of desperation, may mistake a helping hand for divine intervention. I apologize for a secretaries zeal.

XO Starks says:
       ::slight bow::

CNS Janan says:
      ::smiles at the response of the regent::

CSO Stidd says:
       ::Scans the regent for any anomalies::

CO von Krieg says:
        COM: Regent: The Federation is grateful for your trust, none the less.

CTO Horn says:

_ _ _ _meet on our ship or at your facilities._

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::looks to the XO briefly at the CO's comment::_

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ ::feels nervous about the up coming meeting::_

Host Regent Tolth says:
_ _ _ _COM: Pharaoh: Could you bring me there?!?! I was barred_
_ _ _ _from the space tries as a youngster._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _:: thinks to self :: Space tries?_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _COM: Regent: Granted. We will receive you and your_
_ _ _ _entourage. Prepare to beam up. von Krieg out._

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ ::Moves closer to the XO::_

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::suddenly thinks:: Self: The regent has never used a_
_ _ _ transporter?_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CSO: how are you recovering Commander?_

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ CO: Has he ever used a transporter? I mean it is very_
_ _ _ likely to scare the life out of him if he has not?_

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ CO: recommend a security detail and vital sections of the_
_ _ _ ship guarded._

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ XO: Fine sir. The meditations are helping. May I be of_
_ _ _ assistance?_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _CTO: I agree, Commander. Impliment your security plan._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CSO: indeed. we need to start collecting evidence that the_
_ _ _ _Gor are in fact recieving outside weapon shipments. Can_
_ _ _ _you begin to study their recent Antimatter and Warp test_
_ _ _ _to see if there's any connection?_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _CNS: All the better if he has not. I prefer to enter our_
_ _ _ _diplomacy from a position of strength._

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ CO: Aye Sir. ::hits her buttons and alerts her team and_
_ _ _ instructs them where to go::_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO:..so we are working under the asumption that the faxians_
_ _ _ _are not our suspects sir?_

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ ::Nods to the XO:: XO: I am on it even as we speak, the_
_ _ _ first reports should be ready in the hour._

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ CO: Understood, however I think they are very keen to_
_ _ _ respect us so far and as honest as they appear to be._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CSO: good, then don't let me slow you down_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _CNS: It is your job to assure them that we are as well._
_ _ _ _::makes eye contact with the counselor to see how she_
_ _ _ _responds::_

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ ::Raises an eyebrow at the XO's comment:: XO: That will be_
_ _ _ the day._

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::keeps eye contact with him, mostly through curiosity and_
_ _ _ nods:: CO: Aye Sir._

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::pauses a moment::_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _XO/CNS: Prepare to receive the Regent._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _:: slight amusement :: CSO: ....a joke Mr. Stidd??_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _::turns to CO:: CO: Aye sir_

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ CO: Permission to attend also to ensure that there is no_
_ _ _ threat from them_

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ XO: I am a Vulcan, I do not joke. ::Turns and walks away::_

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _All: Perhaps we have eavesdroppers..._

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ ::arms her weapons and locks on to the missles::_

Host Regent Tolth says:

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _Self: what the....._

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _::to self:: Hhmmmm. That's odd._

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ ::sees missiles being destroyed:: ALL: Seems the missiles are_
_ _ _ being destroyed by the Gor_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO: could be a trick to build our trust...could be a_
_ _ _ _division in their own military...or........_

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::glances over the others, looking more nervous than ever::_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO:.....could be that the Regent's people aren't as_
_ _ _ _innocent as they seem_

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ XO: They were matter antimatter warheads._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _:: hears Stidd: CO: they can really hurt us now_

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ CO: I think we should treat teh Faxians as a Threat._

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ XO: I do not think that would be the case, well not with_

Host Regent Tolth says:

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO: aye sir_

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::nods:: CO: But either way surely we have to start to talk_
_ _ _ and try and work things out in order to understand them?_

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ XO: You might want to see this sir._

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _XO/CTO: Everyone on the planet is a threat. Treat them with_
_ _ _ _tact, but no weakness._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO: IF that was a ploy to get us away...it was an expensive_
_ _ _ _one for them...they can't have too many of thoses warheads_
_ _ _ _in service yet_

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _:: walk to SCI station :: CSO: what is it?_

Host Regent Tolth says:

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ XO: It is confirmed, sir._

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _XO:out of the side:: First..._

XO Starks says:
_ _ _ _CO: it seems that the island that launched those missiles_

CTO Horn says:

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ CO: Why would a race so deep on religion want to brand us
_ _ _ as a saviour while trying to attack us. There are only 2
_ _ _ possibilities, sir.,......

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ ::takes out her tricisder and begins a scan of the regent
_ _ _ and his people for any weapons::

CNS Janan says:
_ _ _ ::follows quietly, fighting to remain relaxed about this:
 
CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ CO: First, that they want us to destroy their enemy, the
_ _ _ Gor and Second, that they are being setup by the Gor to

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ CO: Do you agree with this assessment?

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _CSO: I do. Double-dealing at its best.

CTO Horn says:
_ _ _ ::After completing scans:: Regent: If you would follow me_
_ _ _ please, I will escort you to the meeting room

CO von Krieg says:
_ _ _ _CSO: Try scanning for this genetic pattern. ::hands Stidd

CSO Stidd says:
_ _ _ ::Takes the PADD and glances over it:: CO: These readings
