OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: watches as the Captain walks away to take a call from the ship. ::
FC_Fratoo :
All: I am sorry, I had hoped that when we first met "outsiders" that we would not be so... disunified.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: turns back around and waits on the XO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: goes with the flow and tries not to make one of his usual faux pass ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: grunts :: FC Fratoo: Have no fear... different opinions may lead to a better understanding of each other. My species and the humans have had many differences of opinions yet we work together.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
FC_Fratoo: Disunity can provide views and options unity often smashes out. Sometimes my own mind isn't unified. Well... most times it seems.
FC_Fratoo :
CTO: That is between different species, but I understand what you are trying to say.
CSO: That sounds... not healthy. Is that a part of your species or are you... I don't know how to say this delicately...
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
FC_Fratoo: It's nothing and a long story at the same time.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: stifles a chuckle :: FC Fratoo: Lieutenant Trix is of a co-dependent species that lives many lifetimes.
FC_Fratoo :
OPS: Co-dependent? That would mean the Lieutenant is literally of more than one mind?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FC_Fratoo: Exactly.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
FC_Fratoo: Yes, most of my species the symbiont is rather smoothly integrated with the host. Mine had an injury that limits it's "smoothness".
FC_Fratoo :
All: How in the universe do you all manage this many species working together and still remember what is what?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: listen carefully to the dialogue between FC Fratoo and the team ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: thinks about it for a moment :: FC Fratoo: Sometimes with difficulty... sometimes we forget how different we are. It has led to many conflicts, yet we learn... and we grow.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FC_Fratoo: We have ways to keep our records and we have our logs where we also put the situation into our own individual perspectives.
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: Sometimes it is chaotic, but once you have a noble objective in common, relations between species are so much easier
FC_Fratoo :
All: I would guess so. How long has your, Federation you called it, right? How long has it been working together?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: wonders if the XO is watching the interactions between the crew and insectoids to see how best to proceed ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: looks at the XO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: Our Federation was established 250 human years ago... and keeps peacefully developing...
FC_Fratoo :
All: I understand. That is a long time. In our history we had many nations until we discovered the need for unity in the drive to survive. Many of those nations did not last that long.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: Captain Marek is embellishing the situation a tiny bit. Of course there are internal conflicts and arguments but the object of the Federation is to deal with them peacefully and we managed to do a very good job at it
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: Despite some rough times, the bond between its members it is still very strong, since we share a peaceful objective.
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO/FC_Fratoo: I have to agree with Commander Gaeb. Sometimes I let myself carried away by our ideals. ::smiles::
FC_Fratoo :
XO: Exaggeration or not, the ability to keep a group together that long is not easy, and to do it with beings with no biological bond? I almost cannot imagine that.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
FC_Fratoo: We learn by our failures.... and by our successes.
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: All species no matter how different are, when sharing an ideal, can achieve that... and more
FC_Fratoo :
CTO: I hope our people can do the same. But we also have found our way through difficulties along the path. I am still confident we will find a way out of this situation the universe has put us in.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: Yes we do. But we are not here to lecture you or judge how you progress as a society, we can help if asked but we won't intervene in your internal discussions
FC_Fratoo :
XO: That has to be difficult. You come in, see what mistakes others are making that you could fix. How do you just leave them on their way?

SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: And as Commander Gaeb stated is one of our capital rules.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: we discovered with time that intervening is usually creating more problems
FC_Fratoo :
XO: Is that a common belief among the other species you've seen?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: the solutions to your disputes must come from within your people. We can help with experienced conflict mediators but in the end the solutions come from dialogue
FC_Fratoo :
XO: Conflict mediators? We have disagreements, but it is hardly conflict.
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: How do you deal with your internal conflicts and disagreements?
FC_Fratoo :
SC: We discuss it, investigate the options, and try to come to a consensus. Sometimes we come to an agreement, others we bring it to a vote if the issue is too close.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: Then you are doing fine. As for the problem you are having with your sun we may be of assistance. I will contact the Federation council to see if we can help with relocation
FC_Fratoo :
XO: That... that would be appreciated. I won't lie, we have put all we have into the effort and we think we can do it, but at times the progress seems slow at best.
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: You are in the verge of a new wonderful stage of your history as a species... it won't be easy but it will be an incredible time, with plenty of possibility for your people
Fortua :
FC_Fratoo: Apologies, minister. But if I may, I need to make my security checks. After the test, there is more need than most days.
FC_Fratoo :
Fortua: Of course, Minister. We will speak about today's events shortly, at the morning briefing at the latest.
FC_Fratoo :
SC: Things have not been easy for us for some time, but it is a good effort.
SC_Capt_Marek :
FC_Fratoo: It will be very rewarding, not easy, but very fruitful
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: lets her mental shields down just a little to taste the emotions in the room. ::
FC_Fratoo :
XO: There is one issue with your offer of assistance. Your ship, how many could it carry? It does not appear large enough to carry many...much less the materials we would need.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: Our Federation as many planet members, we have been exploring space for some time now, we have bigger ships....
FC_Fratoo :
XO: I see. But let us get moving. I have been remiss; would your crew like a quick tour of our facility?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FC_Fratoo: we would indeed
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: has an idea and makes a note on her PADD to discuss it with the XO and Captain ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: thinks :: Self: finally!
FC_Fratoo :
All: Very well. This here is our facility briefing room. Usually we only use it for preparation meetings. But we can start at your vessel if you wish? Show you our orbital transport facilities first?
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: follows group in the rear keeping an eye on all ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FC_Fratoo: After you Sir. :: smiles ::
