OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: standing next to the XO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: stares at the ancient equipment ::
Fratoo :
:: Standing in the room with the new visitors :: All: The leadership council is almost here. Is there anything you would like while we wait?
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: standing slightly behind and to the left of the XO ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: Very kind of you but we are fine. We are impatient to start this meeting 
Fratoo :
XO: I understand. And I apologize, we... we were not expecting to have off world visitors. We did not know... even if some of us suspected, but we did not know others were capable of inter-stellar flight.
Fratoo :
XO: They should be here shortly, within minutes according to the reports. But as a former science director I need to ask, just how far are you and your people from?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: Whispers, very discreetly :: CO: So far so good... I still am amazed at their calm...
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: They are very calm, aren't they? I wonder if it's their nature.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: Do you have the exact figure on how far we are from earth? 
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO; Or the calm before the storm... :: raises an eyebrow :: Anyway, let's be confident with their quiet relaxed nature...

OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: One moment Sir. :: taps at her PADD ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Also, the XO and the OPS seems to be perfectly handling the situation
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: Sir, we are approximately 10 light-years from Federation space.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: hands the PADD to the XO ::
Fratoo :
XO/ OPS: Ten light-years from the start of your space? That would explain why we never heard a peep from you I suppose. But that's a long distance to travel in such a small craft. It must be very fast to cover such distances.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: We also have a directive that forbids us from contacting a new civilisation until it has reached the technology of faster than light travel
Fratoo :
:: Glances back at Misran briefly. :: XO: I can see how that could be a good way to deal with others. Just finding a common ground of understanding with a species that far off... well, I guess you still might have that last issue.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Fratoo: Yes Sir, we do have faster than light capability with our craft.
Fortua :
Fratoo: Your council has arrived, First. The staff is leading them here now.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: overhears Fortua and mumbles :: Self: Finally...
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: We have discovered that meeting people from outer space is a very de stabilizing event, when a society is at the stage of space travel it usually has considered the possibility 
Fratoo :
All: Then we can really give them a shock I suppose. They spend all their days discussing funding and supplies and such. To see what we've been doing was a shock, to see this response to it?
Fratoo :
XO: Some of us have, but of late our consideration is focussed on one other species, the only one we knew existed.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: makes notes on her PADD ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: On this planet or in this system? 
Misran :
Fratoo: That is because they are the answer to our needs, an answer none of your party has found a better one of!
Fratoo :
XO: There is another planet, about 2 light-years off. In the last few months we've been detecting radio wave signals from them, and it has raised some questions.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: mumbles :: CO: Commander Gaeb dropped a little bomb... :: smirks ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: lifts her eyebrow at Misran's comments, wondering what his plans are for the seemingly gentle Treint ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Fratoo: Interesting Sir, what can you tell us of what you have learned?

ACTION: A HALF-DOZEN REICHANS ENTER THE ROOM, USHERED IN BY STAFF AND GUARDS.::

Fratoo :
All: Ah, the ruling council. Heads of each region of the planet.
SC_Capt_Marek :
All: Not sure about the formalities we should observe hear... Nod or not to nod?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: waits to see what the protocol is for meeting the council ::
Yehtu :
Fratoo: You made contact already? You told us we had plenty of time!
Fratoo :
Yehtu: I was mistaken, but this is a chance for us.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
:: observes Fratoo closely to find out how to great the council members properly ::
Fratoo :
Council: This is Captain Adams, Captain Marek, and their crew. They saw our test and judged us ready for contact.
Yehtu :
Fratoo: Well I will remember this at the next session, First Citizen. 
ALL: council Member Yehtu, at your service.
Grule :
All: I am called Grule, at your service.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: gives a formal nod to the Council members ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: waits for the XO to introduce them ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
All: I am Commander Gaeb this is Lieutenant Xetani and Lieutenant Trix is completing our team
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Council Members: At your service.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Council: A pleasure.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: looks at the XO for permission to formally introduce the Captains ::
Fratoo :
All: The council usually handles the day to day affairs of the state while I spend a good deal of my time monitoring and trying to assist the project, the latest stage of which you just witnessed.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Fratoo: You should be proud of your accomplishment Sir.
Fratoo :
OPS: We need to accomplish. Not sure if your sensors detected it or not but our star is not going to last more than a few decades. Hundred years or so, maybe a touch more, but no time to take things as they go.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Fratoo: Yes, we did detect that and we are glad to see you have made this first step.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Fratoo: Necessity is the mother of invention, as our human friends and brothers say.
