CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Standing with the others, watching how these beings react. ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: standing slightly behind and to the right of the XO ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
::paces near the opening of the Captain's yacht::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: discreetly signals the CTO to join them, after securing the shuttle::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
::hears the summons::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: secures the shuttle locking it with an encrypted password ::
Fratoo :
All: We now have a few issues coming up with this. We have known we weren't alone for some time, but now that we have been visited... our people need to know.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: locates the landing party with his tricorder and walks towards their location ::
Misran :
Fratoo: It does not change our need, unless these people are some sort of gods from the myths come to reclaim their power and worship. We need to move forward. By invite or by our choice.
Fratoo :
Misran: Not now, the world does not depend solely on you winning this debate. There are other options. Now more than ever.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: hears Misran's words and walks up behind the Captain :: CO: We are not gods... are we Sir?
Fratoo :
XO: My apologies to you and your crew. This should not be about politics, but about greeting you and learning a bit about the "outside".
CO_Capt_Adams :
Fratoo/Misran: If I may offer a suggestion? It has been our experience on our First Contact missions to proceed slowly and cautiously. Be truthful, but react according to what you know about your people so as not to cause them to become fearful
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: We understood coming here that you were in a very intense situation with regards to your sun and that it would affect your society in ways we have almost never seen, I think you are keeping real calm under the circumstances.
Fratoo :
CO: Yes, I am sure if you have travelled so far you have done this before. To be honest, Misran has recently taken the step from being our Science Minister, a powerful position in its own right now, to being kind of an "opposition leader." Some say it's a recurring theme for us since the discovery.
Fratoo :
XO: Calm is relative, Commander, but thank you. We are focused on a goal in this facility. When news gets out of your presence, there may be less calm seen.
Misran :
All: I am simply looking for the quickest solution. How far do we have to look for other places to settle when there is one right there?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Misran: To which planet are you referring?
Fratoo :
:: Ignores Misran’s last. :: All: Misran and his following believe that the Treint people have the most viable place to move to. They are a growing minority.
Misran :
OPS: Treint. They have the space to share their world, and have so little motivation to move forward.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Misran: There are many other worlds out there that are unoccupied that would be just as good, if not better for your people if you just look.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Misran: Species can share a world, but it is not usually as easy as you are making it.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Fratoo: If the Treint people are at the same technological level as you and wish to share their world with you, then it is viable. If they are not, then perhaps you should seek another solution.
Misran :
OPS/ CSO: Our scientists have been looking for decades. We aren't sending a trade mission, we need to move an entire world! Over a billion people.
Fratoo :
OPS: Thank you. And no, they are not at the same technological level. That is another part of the growth of their party.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Misran: I understand your position Sir. And you have ample time while you are improving your space travel to seek other alternatives.
Misran :
All: Hrmph, they are barbarians. We could bring them the glory of progress.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: looks at the Captain ::
Fratoo :
Misran: This is not the place for this. These are our guests, newly met friends.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Misran: Sir, it is factual that if you present technology to a species that is unprepared for it, the consequences could be detrimental.
Misran :
OPS: If you say so. We will find the way around it, one way or another.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: Looks back at OPS and then on to the XO to try and signal him that he's to be their inductor to a bigger universe ::

Fratoo :
All: My staff is preparing a statement to release to our population to try and "break them in" easier. But once it is ready, would you mind joining the broadcast?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Misran: I am certain that you will Sir.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: moves closer to the CO and whispers :: CO: Sir, is there a way we could help them search?
Misran :
All: If you will excuse me, your arrival was an unexpected gift of fate, but there is still much work to be done. If you will excuse me, I need to meet with the propulsion team.
Fratoo :
Misran: Very good. Hopefully they can see why it ended earlier than we planned. We will talk later.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Wishes she could help but realizes the Prime Directive won't allow much assistance. ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Ops: We need to be careful about that since we don't know too much about this part of the galaxy - Remember, we're newcomers and are out here to explore... But, that doesn't mean we can't be on the lookout to help them.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: My thoughts exactly Sir.
Fratoo :
:: Watches Misran walk out the door. :: All: I am sorry. He was...he is a brilliant propulsion theorist but his social skills are often lacking.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Fratoo: I will tell you a truth here. We are relatively new to this part of our galaxy and are just now exploring it. Our homes are a good distance away. When we leave here, we will be exploring more of this sector, and we will knowingly and actively be looking for alternatives for you and your people.
Fratoo :
CO: That would be much appreciated Captain.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: also watches as Misran walks out the door and cocks her head to one side ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Fratoo: I think you perceive some of our concerns in our dealings with new cultures who are just reaching the point you are now reaching. Yours is a keen intellect.. I think you understand how we would feel towards your neighbors and encourage you not to descend upon them.
Fratoo :
CO: Most of my people do not want it. Misran's faction is growing, however, as time progresses.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Fratoo: There are already enough aggressive civilizations in the galaxy, but there are benevolent ones as well. Your people will ultimately decide which path they choose.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Fratoo: I hope you choose wisely
