Host Lea says:
Summary: Aboard the Gehmohr Science Station, the various members of the Starfleet delegation have split up: Ensign Foxx is concluding the walk to Section 3 with Kelin Bar, of the Chalith family. Ensign McQuade has exited the transportation tubes at Sector 10 with Meekin of the Melar family;
Host Lea says:
Summary: Martinis Mek of the Coloh family has dropped Doctor Wilkins at the Genetics Lab in Sector 7, and is now accompanying Ensign Ivara in Astrometrics, while Lieutenant Commander Power and Marlin Chenwa of the Colin family prepare to return to the rendezvous point.

Host Meekin says:
::Smiles to the CTO:: CTO: So, Ensign Foxx of the USS Andromeda of the United Federation of Planet... May I ask why you chose to join your organization?  ::Leading the CTO rather slowly up to the Sector 3 entrance::
Meklin_Bar says:
::Tilts her head:: CO: Now that you've had something of a tour, Lieutenant Commander Power of the USS Andromeda, would you be interested in attending one of the many sessions we are running today? Or is it vital that you return to your crew, first?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Marlin_Chenwa: Would it be possible to get a copy of sessions which I can go freely between them to get the most value from them all?
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Smiles:: XO: Certainly.  ::Leading him back to the central "hub" of the sector:: We have plenty of copies at the Operations desk.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Marlin_Chenwa: Excellent.
Host Meekin says:
::Leads McQuade out into the Central Promenade once more, the two ends of the station not much dissimilar:: CEO: May I ask, why did you choose Advanced Research?
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Approaches the desk, taking one of several thin pamphlets, offering it to the Commander:: XO: Please enjoy, Lieutenant Commander Power of the USS Andromeda. I simply ask that you continue to respect the lighting indicative of sensitive areas and avoid those.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes the pamphlet and smiles:: Marlin_Chenwa: Would you be able to point out what I should be aware of so I don't accidently enter a sensitive area?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin: To be honest I didn't think it mattered all that much what I picked.  ::Smiles.::  I figure you know why we are here and it’s now up to you to decide to tell us the truth or to try and deceive.  Either way what we look at is irrelevant.
Host Meekin says:
::Pauses in her step slightly, clearly affected by his words, perhaps even holding back a bit of hurt, but nods:: CEO: I understand.   ::Gestures up ahead:: Here we are.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: The entrance to Sector 10 is approximately five meters high, and eight across. As the two pass through the thick threshold, its multi-layered nature becomes visible within, nearly two meters thick.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: Beyond the opening is a large circular informational center, with three Rabtese individuals working studiously, fielding calls and adjusting temperatures, something like large Operations station. Beyond Operations, several smaller corridors lead off in a spoke-like fashion. A few robed individuals enter and exit the areas around them.
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Stands a bit closer to the XO, to press open the pamphlet and point out a few areas on the map:: XO: Well, nearly every Sector has some sort of high-sensitivity project occurring, but Sectors 5 and 10 probably have the most.  The map won't really help you navigate around the sensitive areas...
Marlin_Chenwa says:
XO: Just avoid the flashing yellow light, as noted in our protocol communique.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods:: Marlin_Chenwa: I understand
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Smiles:: XO: Then, please enjoy your stay, Lieutenant Commander Power of the USS Andromeda.  ::Begins to turn, then shifts back once:: Oh, I nearly forgot.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Notices the slight reaction in Meekin.::  Meekin:  On a personal note it did give me an excuse to talk and spend time with you.
Host Meekin says:
::She glances suddenly to McQuade, then quickly averts her eyes to the deck, color coming once more to her expression:: CEO: I--Have enjoyed the trip as well, Tavish. ::The last word spoken almost undetectably quiet, as the pass into the Sector 10 central hub, filled with other Chalak and Agtak.
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Approaches the Information desk, indicating he join her:: XO: Your communication devices will operate fine here aboard the station, but should you wish to check in with your vessel...
Marlin_Chenwa says:
XO: You'll need to come to any command panel here, press one of these... ::Indicates the control to Power:: ...and request a "Communications Aperture."  Operations will do the rest to ensure you are able to clear the Nebula's interference.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods appreciatively:: Marlin_Chenwa: Thank you for this information
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Enters the central hub next to Meekin.::  Meekin:  I don't suppose we have time for a quiet meal?  I'd hate to think our time together is coming to an end.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: As Meekin leads McQuade deeper within Sector 10, a soft glow of yellow can be detected from every spoke corridor, the flashing lights reflecting and diffusing into one variated wash of color.
Marlin_Chenwa says:
::Smiles and nods:: XO: Certainly. Any time, Lieutenant Commander Power of the USS Andromeda. Please contact me if you need anything.   ::Bows slightly, as she had greeted him, and turns away, moving to exit the Sector::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::returns the bow and makes his way towards a quiet corner::
Host Meekin says:
::Seems to hesitate with her words a moment, then settles for a smile and a nod:: CEO: I'd like that. Are you hungry now? Or would you rather wait until after you've had a chance to tour the Sector. I--::That flash of concern crosses her eyes an instant:: --I can leave you to explore on your own first, if you like. We have nothing to hide.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::flips open his tricorder and downloads the brochure and map information to build up an overall diagram of the station::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  No I would rather continue the tour with you at my side.  ::throws a slight smile in Meekin's direction and notices the concern.::  Is something wrong Meekin of the Melar family?
CTO_Foxx says:
@Meklin:  Yes, I chose to join my organization due to my honor.  Certain members of my tribe have a warrior tradition dating back thousands of years of which I am culturally connected.  We also believe that we must share our personal gifts with all as to the benefit of society... this is called ubuntu.
Host Meekin says:
::Somewhat troubled:: CEO: I must admit, I'm troubled by what you've shared with me. And I don't want you to think that I would try to help deceive you.  ::Begins leading the CEO down the first spoke to their right::
Meklin_Bar says:
::Tilts her head:: CTO: That's rather fascinating, Ensign Foxx of the USS Andromeda. We have a philosophy somewhat similar, but different. The scientific "gifts" we research and explore may only be developed when it is deemed their development is to the benefit of the entire society.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::begins heading for section 10::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  I was just being honest.  I had assumed you knew why we are here.  Our culture values truth and holds it in high regards. ::Pauses and takes her hand.::  I have no doubt you have not hidden anything on this tour.
CTO_Foxx says:
::pauses... while noble... maybe:: Meklin:  And... what if the benefit is bad for an individual but still may benefit the entire society?
Meklin_Bar says:
::Smiles kind of funnily:: CTO: If it harms an individual, and that individual is part of the society, then it cannot benefit the entire society. And therefore it cannot be developed.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::figures out the distance and heads towards their transport system::
CTO_Foxx says:
Melkin:  Therefore the needs of the many... do not outweigh the needs of the one?  As the Vulcans say.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::scans the control system of the transport system for any sectors not listed on the public directory::
Meklin_Bar says:
::Tilts her head:: CTO: "Vulcans"...?   ::Thinks concentratedly a moment:: Oh! The pointed-eared fellows. I am afraid they were not on my list of study. I am unfamiliar with their sayings. Perhaps you could be more clear?
