Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11211.02

Previously on DS102:

The Albus had withdrawn to station keeping nearby the station while the diplomats and volunteers get sorted out.

What will be decided? Let's find out.

Host Gerry says:

CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::In Docking Bay, trying to figure out who is doing what and who is supposed to be doing the rest.::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::after finally deciding to slip out and head to the target shooting range, remembers a phaser rifle was needed to practice with, so heads to armory instead::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::goes with the flow, trying to observe protocol rules, while waiting for the diplomats to arrive::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Do all first contacts go like this? I'm starting to think Science was a much better choice this time around...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: ::Raises an eyebrow:: Really? ::sounds ironic::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CSO: If this is what the diplomats do, I'd much rather pour over piles of data. 
::Looks down.:: Self: It's a joke, I know this isn't all diplomats do.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I wonder how much longer will be able to entertain our new friends, until the diplomat corps decides to show up
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::smiles as she returns to the group:: All: Two of the officers that I contacted will be here shortly. 
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: I am wondering, if we are sending a diplomatic team, should we try and get them either a long range shuttle or even a runabout? That way if they need to go back and forth, the Albus won't have to ferry them around like the neighbor's kids.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: That is logical. If they do not show up soon, I will tell this to the Albus in order to avoid upsetting them.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Anderson> ::enters the landing bay at a run nearly colliding with Captain Marek as he does:: CNS: When do we start?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::arrives at the Main Armory and checks out the latest rifle model::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::chuckles:: SC: Captain Marek, this is Lieutenant Cole Anderson.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices Anderson passing in a hurry by his side, he was about to say something, but decided to ignore it::
Host AMB_Modolai says:
::enters the docking bay and looks around, just a little lost::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
AMB: Ambassador? I'm Ensign Trix, the one who spoke with you.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
CSO: Oh! Nice to finally put a face to the name, Ensign. Are the Albus still here? ::looks around to see::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the Ambassador talking to the CSO and walks towards them::
CO_YoGhi says:
:: Watching the events, feeling he is being part of a great moment of history::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
AMB: They, uh, they stepped out. I guess their version of "stretched their legs" outside the station. Pressure and environment and all the things we need made them uncomfortable it seems.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::heads to the Target Range while examining the new weapons features::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: I'm Captain Marek. ::offers hand:: We do not have the pleasure to meet often.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
CSO: I see. ::nods in understanding:: Will our presence be a problem for them? I mean, my understanding is that we are going to ride inside the beings?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Anderson> ::nods to Marek:: SC: Captain.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
::shakes the Station Commander's hand:: SC: The pleasure is mine, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Anderson: ::nods back::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
AMB: That is what they offered, they have the ability to adapt themselves, to rebuild rather than evolve. They have offered to create an environment the diplomatic team can live in.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
CSO: That's almost unbelievable! And kind of exciting!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::sees Marina enter and motions for her to join her and Anderson::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: I think we should introduce you and your personnel to the Albus.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
AMB: Part of me is envious. Of course that part won't stop trying to tell me how good it could be to learn on that kind of mission. That part of me enjoyed his time as an Ambassador. At least the start of it. The end was a bit... hot.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: That would be acceptable, right after I meet my personnel. ::grins::
Host AMB_Modolai says:
CSO: I'm sure of that. We'll have to talk more about that and swap stories sometime.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: Of course.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CSO: Please contact the Albus and inform them that our Diplomat Staff is willing to meet them.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Yes Captain, right away.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: Let me inform you, Ambassador, that this species is unique. A fascinating case, to say the least
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Steps off to the side and uses a station console to let the Albus know the Diplomatic team is assembling now and will be ready within minutes.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: Yes, Sir. 
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: So I have gathered from the briefing my supervisor gave me. Frankly, he didn't believe you at first.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::concentrates on the Albus and tries to project her thoughts to them as she did when they first met:: ~~~Albus: Our Ambassador has arrived and would like to meet you.~~~
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: I was informed about that. Strange, coming from an experience Federation Diplomat... Anyway, water under the Bridge. Let's concentrate on keep doing things right from here.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: I had thought him a tad credulous when he told me as well, but now that I see them for myself... ::indicates the Albus off the bay::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Watches the sensor readout, noting the subspace activity level among the Albus just to see how quickly they spread the word amongst themselves.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: ::nods:: Wait until you personally meet this fantastic creatures
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: I can hardly wait!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO/CNS: I wonder what is taking them so long... They seemed to be a little anxious just a while ago..
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Message has been sent, but I would guess moving themselves is like moving a Starship. Force equals mass times acceleration, and they have a lot of mass to speed up and, once here, slow back down.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: ::feels ashamed:: I excuse myself, I did not think of that... Blame it on my age. ::smiles at the group::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: They are waiting patiently and are ready to receive.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: To be fair, not many beings we encounter have those kinds of needs, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Thanks. Commander.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: I understand that coordinates have been set.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: They have mentioned that they prefer to use one of their beings to perform as a vessel for our delegates. All the technical information has been supply. I wonder if you agree with that suggestion, or do we need to discuss it a little further?
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: I'm actually fine with it, Captain. What is the worst that could happen?
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: Don't answer that. ::winks::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Ambassador: ::shrugs:: If you ask me, sir... Let's take a leap of faith of this matter. Very well, let us proceed them
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
AMB: We just wondered if it might not be better to have either a long range shuttle or runabout at your disposal, in case you or one of the team needs to go off for a short trip. If you think it would help, of course Ambassador.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Com: Albus: This is Captain Marek. Our designated Ambassador and his staff have arrived and ready to proceed to... err... board the vessel you have created for them.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
@<Albus> COM: SC: We are ready to receive. We look forward to this relationship. I must convey our pleasure at this event in our history.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: Can we suggest the runabout idea to them?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Com: Albus: We think exactly the same. ::overhears the Ambassador:: We only have a minor suggestion, in order to... err, to make things easier for you. How about if we sent our delegates in a vessel of our own, following you to your home world. Then, once you have arrived there, arrange whatever is necessary to continue the contact between our species.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::realizes he didn't sound as diplomatic as he wanted to::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::finally arrives at the Target Range, checks in with the automated gunsmith, enters program, and waits for the targets to start flying around::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: Self: Darn, I messed it up.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
@<Albus> COM: SC: We are able to include this smaller vessel in their habitat, if that is useful.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
SC: I would be good with that.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Com: Albus: ::breathes in relief:: Magnificent. Then, our staff will board a shuttle craft in a couple of minutes. Please, be ready to receive them.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Please see that a shuttle if fitted immediately for the journey.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::thinks to self: "Let the shootings commence"::
Host AMB_Modolai says:
@<Albus> COM: SC: We await your diplomatic staff.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
All: With their adaptation happening just outside the station, sensors should be getting a wonderful bit of...
SC: Sir? Yes sir, I'll get right to it. ::Rushes off to find an available shuttlecraft for the diplomatic staff.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Com: Albus: They are transferring to the shuttle. I will inform as soon as the vessel leaves our docking bay.
Host AMB_Modolai says:
