Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Looks scientist up and down::

Host Delfin says:
CO:We have recently become aware of your federation and were curious about you

Host CO_Cerdan says:
Scientist: Who are you, and what do you want with us?

Host Delfin says:
CO:For the past 12 weeks you have been involved in an interactive neural simulation.  We wanted to see how you would respond under certain stimuli

Host Delfin says:
CO:We captured your ship on the way to a place you call.. Benning

Host XO_Sheridan says:
:;looks puzzled::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
Scientist: You mean the Matalis, were some kind of holographic simulation?

FCO-Exeter says:
::looks at the CO and at Delphin,and starts laughing::

Host Delfin says:
During that time we have removed and inserted certain crewmembers to maintain the illusion that you were out on patrol

Host Delfin says:
CO:That is correct, Matalis do not exist as far as we know

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Looks puzzled at the implications of that statement::

Host XO_Sheridan says:
::thinks, inserted?::

CTO_Black says:
::frowns and looks at the scientist::

FCO-Exeter says:
All:So that guy is saying he used us as guiny pigs::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
Scientist: But we were on  G6, how can that be?

Host Delfin says:
Co:Everything will be explained in time, for now we ask that you join us for a feast before we allow you to leave freely

Host CO_Cerdan says:
Scientist: You do this to us and expect us to dine with you?

Host XO_Sheridan says:
:;whispers to the CO:: CO: Sir this may be the perfect time for a first contact?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Looks at XO::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
ALL: Cooperate for now

FCO-Exeter says:
::still laughing::

Host Delfin says:
CO:Only one of your crewmembers was injured during the exercise, it was an unfortunate event brought on by a system malfunction. We mean you no harm and we actually wish to join your federation

SO_Pairs says:
CO:ok

Host CO_Cerdan says:
Scientist: Unfortunate indeed!, I must have more details.

Host Delfin says:
CO:And you will get them

Excellent job ALL
