SC_Capt_Marek :
:: goes with the group, following Fratoo ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: follows behind the XO ::
FC_Fratoo :
All: If you'll just follow me I'll... :: Stops as an aid comes up and whispers something to him. :: Oh, sorry, my aid just told me the news networks need a few things to set up our announcing this meeting to the public. I will be back shortly.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: hovers at the back of the group glaring at everyone doing his best 'I am a security officer and don't mess with me' impression ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: after having stepped away to use his communicator to contact Pandora, returns to the shuttle away team ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: follows Fratoo with his eyes as he runs off ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: sees the Captain walk up and nods ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: Never seen this type of First Contact, but they seem to be handling this fairly... :: Pauses and closes eyes for a second. ::
Self: Oh, well, I guess so.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: :: mumbles :: you are doing a great job so far, Lieutenant, but don't be so tense... Take this advice from a seasoned ex Tactical Officer...
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: whispers to Marek :: SC: I am not tense Sir. Just appearing... :: searches for the word :: ... intimidating.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: sees the CO walk up :: CO: Sir, we are waiting on Fratoo to return for a tour of the facility.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: walks up to the XO after nodding back to the CTO :: XO: Anything happening while I was comming the ship? Where'd Fratoo go off to?
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
SC: Quite frankly Sir... this is a quite pleasant experience. We are.... making history.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: :: Raises an eyebrow :: Oh I see... and I must agree with your last statement
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: We were on our way to visit the facility but he had to leave, something about a press conference. I think we are guests to this meeting
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: Fratoo seems eager to announce our contact; I don't recall anything about press conferences in the Academy course on first contacts
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: stifles a chuckle at the XO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO/XO: I strongly advice to be extremely cautious with our statements to a bigger crowd... Although they seem to be a well-structured society, we still cannot figure out the consequence of our sudden appearance in this particular moment of their history.
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Guess you'll be doing a little "on the job" training then.....
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
SC: Yes sir, that's one thing my divergent hosts agree on. Fratoo and his click can be calm like this, but the mobs may prove trickier.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
All: I shall leave the talking to everyone else. I do not do diplomacy well.... at least not yet. I have much to learn.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CSO: Indeed. :: nods ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: :: whispers quietly :: have they put together that our shuttle can't have gotten us here yet?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: I think Fratoo understood we have bigger ships, just not how much bigger
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: Do we have a plan on how we can help these people find a new home and move them there?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Quietly. :: CO: Technically it could have, sir. Just would have taken a lot longer. But he probably still thinks it's something we did do. Is that against the Prime Directive? Misleading them as to our level of Technology by making it seem greater?
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Good, then they won't be too shocked. :: turns to CSO :: CSO: Any suggestions as to when it would be a good time to make them acquainted with the "bigger ship?"
SC_Capt_Marek :
All: And I suggest emphasizing on the aspect that we are explorers, not rescuers, in what comes to the present state of their sun...
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
SC: We are explorers and as such, we could help find another planet. What they could do for themselves, just quicker.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
::Looks shocked.:: CO: Me sir? Um, at this point I don't know if the size of the ship would make much difference to the situation. Would it?
SC_Capt_Marek :
OPS: That would be more accurate...
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: To answer your question about the Prime Directive - always better to tread lightly, and not stray too far from the truth, that is, up to scaring the beejeebees out of 'em. :: chuckles ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Nods. ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
SC: They seem to be on a good trajectory to move themselves, we could just help find to where they could move.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
OPS: That is... if we can find a suitable world for them.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CTO: I just don't like the idea of them taking over the amphibian’s world.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: turns to OPS :: OPS: Signal the ship for them to come out of hiding and slowly make their way into high orbit here. Emphasis on "slowly."
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: frowns :: All: What if we choose wrong? Can we point them a world and have them "blame" the Federation if something is not right with the world?
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: In this situation, we are always expected to choose right and logically.. otherwise the consequences could be disastrous.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS: Seems like Misran does like that idea.
CTO: Well, I mean, we are looking to assist. We can show them what we find, maybe even give them a few choices?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir. I would also like to tell you that while we were in the conference room with Fratoo and Misran and Misran has some... shall we say, not to charitable ideas concerning the amphibians.
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: I think moving is not eminent at the moment. We have time to help them search and prepare. This new ship of theirs, while big, isn't going to be operational before it needs to be.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: signals the ship to move towards the planet SLOWLY. ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Shakes head. :: CO: I don't think that thing is meant as an end project. Just an engine test bed.
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Thank you Lieutenant. We will have to "guide" them into not taking that particular path, but showing them a better one.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: My thoughts exactly Sir.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: receives confirmation from the Pandora. ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: The Pandora has begun moving slowly towards the planet Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Thank you Lieutenant. Keep me informed on their progress, and also of the response to it.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods at the CO :: Aye: Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: looks the surroundings, try to appreciate the distinctive elements of the Insectoid structures ::
FC_Fratoo :
:: Returns. :: All: So sorry, the affairs of state seem never ending. But the people will need to know about this. If they do not hear it officially, they may panic.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:; smiles as Fratoo returns and takes her place just behind the XO, next to the CO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: nods at Fratoo very politely as he stands next to the CTO ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: Have you detected anything I need to be concerned about?
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: shakes head :: CO: Negative Sir. But I remain vigilant.

XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: I agree, but how exactly do you want to tell them about this?
FC_Fratoo :
XO: I will handle that. I will explain it to them as calmly as possible. We will slowly give them the information...including giving them a chance to see you a bit after first learning. Don't want to over load them. But that will be in a little while still.
