In the center of the field is tall, 80 feet, object under a black veil that is 20 feet at the base and can be seen getting smaller as it reaches up.

:; Standing with his crew as the ceremonies are about to start::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::walks across the stage and taps the microphone.::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::waits nearby the rest of the senior officers, an ear to his com badge as he listens to his security teams finishing up the perimeter... they might be in a different location, but Donavin wasn't about to take any chances... not that he did the first time, but eh::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
Action: The crowd begins to quite::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
ALL: Welcome to everyone at this historic moment.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::stands near the front of the crowd, his massive form filling a majority of the open space there in spite of the fact he actually looks like he might be trying to minimize it... somehow::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::motions for Savar to come up::  All; It is with great honor to let Ambassador Envoy Savar lead us in this historic moment.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::standing there with his arms crossed watching::
CIV_Savar says:
:: Silently wonders why people do not understand diplomatic rank as he steps forward from his already prominent position ::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::steps aside to let Savar speak::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::cuts his eyes to Savar at his advance, but only briefly, not yet getting used to not seeing the Vulcan in anything but a Starfleet uniform... and, musing it wasn't all that long ago he wasn't used to seeing him in command of Sharikahr, either::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<getting used to seeing>
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:; waits for Savar to do what is required of him for the ceremony::
CIV_Savar says:
:: As the sound amplification system adapts to his frame, he looks over the crowd ::  All: Twenty five years ago, a tragedy occurred on this planet.  This I believe many of us are already aware.  We stand here today to not discuss the past, but to look forward to the present.  A new frontier of galactic cooperation and prosperity lays before us...
CIV_Savar says:
signified by the gathered representatives, and the bold gestures of Gul Jakor and the Cardassian Empire.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::nearly has to hold back a snort at the mention of the Gul, but somehow manages to do just that::
CIV_Savar says:
All: In the days since our arrival, the representatives have had these bonds tested, and found that they were able to work together to solve the difficulties presented.  This can only be seen as a signal of events yet to occur.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::Nods to Savar still standing with his rams crossed::    K'Ruck: Now behave.  I know how much you love it here  ::smirks::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::just glares at Jakor through narrowed eyes, but says nothing::
CIV_Savar says:
:: Inclines his head slightly ::  All: Lest I be accused of being long-winded, I will ask the Gul to approach and make his presentation at his will.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  K'Ruck: Would it help if I complimented you on how bad you smell?
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: notices that Savar is still keep his speeches on the short side::
CIV_Savar says:
:: Takes three steps backwards, out of the range of the sound amplification devices ::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::steps up to the stage::  Savar: Thank you Envoy. It is a pleasure.  ::turns to the crowd::
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: watches the crowd as the Gul steps up on stage for any possible trouble::

Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  All; My people has regretted the incident that took place so long ago. We do not expect forgiveness. But we do offer our hand in the beginning of a new day to hopefully one day put all our past behind us. And My people also offer a hand to the Klingon Government.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: speaks low enough for just the CTO to hear:: CTO: Your people ready to hands any possible incidents quietly?
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::steps back to clear for whoever is next::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::replies in a tone the same:: CO: I've got eyes and ears all over this crowd, sir.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good man.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::steps forward after a moment, and moves to stand a little away from the amplification units... they may not be needed at their fullest, after all::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::watches the Klingon::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::Getting excited for this bold new day::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::scans steely eyes out over the crowd before finally speaking:: All: This is a glorious day, not just for the Klingon empire. But for all those who stand here now in seeking closure for the dishonor of actions past. Even in this new climate, this new... peace, our warrior's resolve has been tested, and tested again.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> All: The cowardly actions of a few have sought to prevent this new, still tenuous alliance from being. And they have failed! It is not a testament to their weakness, but to the strength of those who wish to be victorious in a battle much greater than that of the blade.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::his eyes narrow ever so slightly, but he continues after a moment:: All: Let not the deaths of those who have come before serve no purpose. On this day, let us raise a glass to the honored dead, and those they died in defending. And in so doing, in the peace they have forced upon those unwilling to adopt it for themselves.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> All: Today... we are victorious! ::pauses for a moment and then, with a slight nod, steps back to where he was::
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: wonder when Klingons got so long winded::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::steps back up::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::tilts his head a degree to one side as a report comes in over his badge, and he only quietly signals his acknowledgement::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::goes to the monument and picks up a pull cord and walks to the middle of all 3 delegates::  CIV/ Gul/ Amb: Our colony would like to ask you to  honor us in unveiling this monument in both in memory of the ones lost and the beginnings of our new peace.  ::holds out the end of the cord for the 3 to take::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::looks at the other 2 then reaches out and grasp the cord waiting for the other 2 to do the same::

CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::reaches to take hold of the cord as well, now electing to be silent for the moment::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::steps back to the sound amplifier and waits::
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:; waits for the three to unveil the monument::
CIV_Savar says:
:: Grabs the last of the cords ::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  CIV: After you Savar.  ::preparing to pull::
CIV_Savar says:
:: nods, wondering when this became his show, and pulls first ::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
Action: The veil falls revealing a large black 3 sided prism 80 feet tall and 20 feet at the base and comes to a point at the top. On each side has a plaque with an inscription.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
All: This memorial is dedicated to all those who fell during the battle of Setlik III in the year of 2362.   ::holds out his hand for each one, CIV, Gul, and Amb, to shake::  Now let our peace begin.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::takes hold of the governor's hand rather firmly, shakes it, and releases it::
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: watches as the veil falls and listens to the Governor speak::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
Action: The background a band begins to play.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor> ::takes the Gov hand and shakes it::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
Self: And for a change, sans explosion. Have I been in the fleet too long or has that really become the exception rather than the rule...?
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::holds out his hand to Savar:: CIV:  Thank you Envoy. It was a pleasure to have your presence hear for this.
CIV_Savar says:
:: Forgives the governor his lack of cultural sensitivity as he grasps and shakes the head before releasing ::  Taylor: I hope that your colony can act as an example of tolerance for others.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
CIV: Me too.  Me too.  ::grinning and steps back the Mic:: All; Now,  Let’s eat and let the fun and games begin.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
CTO: Make sure your people get something to eat here as well.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
::jumps down off the stage to meet the CO::
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
::heads towards the stage::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::takes a step towards this new person whom he's got to, yet again, get used to calling 'captain', and addresses him in quiet tones:: CO: My team reports minimal disturbances. Couple people thought about taking direct action against the Gul, but a flash of security ID convinced them that would be bad for their health.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good work keep them alert and tell them to have a little fun as well.

Host Gov_Taylor says:
CO: So you must be Captain McDuggle.  I heard the Sharikahr had a new commanding officer. Glad you could make it.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
GOV: Yes I am and I am glad to be a part of this glorious occasion.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::turns the Amb::   K’Ruck: I guess this means we are friends now  ::laughing::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::gives a brief nod to the governor at his approach, inwardly thankful this governor doesn't have him as civilian liaison, and walks off to find his team leader::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::works very hard at resisting the urge to reverse the bone structure of his face:: Jakor: Hardly. ::pushes past him and into the crowd::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
CO: You have a fine crew captain.  ::looks around:: And I don't see, what was her name, your science officer.  She has been so helpful.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  ::lets out a big laugh::    Amb:  One day Ambassador.  I will make you smile.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
COV: She is suppose to be here somewhere however I have a feeling that once you told everybody to eat and have fun she snuck back off to the ship.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::absently, his mind wanders through images of the Gul’s head mounted on his office wall, his body left where it fell to be taken care of by whichever beasts should happen upon it... and he does, indeed, smile::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
CO: Too bad ,we have such fine food.  I do hope you can stay a while.  I understand our new Cardassian friends will be staying a little longer, we are already talking about leaving one of them behind, a Glinn Garloth I believe his name was.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  CIV: I do wish all this works for eth best for all or people.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
GOV: I have heard that you do and do intend to try some also I plan on inviting the Ambassador back to the ship later for some Vintage Blood wine to help celebrate you are also invited as well.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::catches up with his team leader in time to see her finish up a conversation with one of her officers... he pulls her aside, relays their new commanding officer's orders to her and gets her nod, before moving back through the crowd::
CIV_Savar says:
Gul: There are many benefits to continued cooperation between our governments.
Host Gov_Taylor says:
CO: That would be very nice captain.  I must run off for the moment , I will look you up later.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
GOV: Then I will see you later :: looks to where the Ambassador has went::
Host Gov_Taylor says:
<Gul Jakor>  CIV: I do hope so. And just to let you know.  It has been decide, and Taylor has agreed, Glinn Garloth will be remaining behind as a lesion between our 2 worlds
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
:: wander over to  where the Ambassador is:: AMB: Ambassador I am Captain James McDuggle the new CO for the Sharikahr.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
<Amb_K`Ruck> ::without looking at the man addressing him, though he does sort of turn slightly towards him:: CO: I am K`Ruck, ambassador of the Klingon empire.
Host CO_Captain_McDuggle says:
AMB: I would like to invite you to the ship for some Vintage Blood Wine later to help celebrate the progress we have made here.
