[snip]As each of the officers broke up into their respective groups and began their duties, Sifeda stood there awkwardly with Mr. Stiles. “So…Mr. Stiles” she said as her eyes shifted from side to side, “How are the colony’s defenses from outside alien invasions? Mr. Anders and I can take a look at them if you like. Also I am curious about the judicial system here in the colony. How is the crime rate and what happen to those who break the law?” As a trained Tactical Officer for most of her Starfleet career she leaned on a topic she was good at.
Itri, XO
Stiles led the XO down a lightly paved road, near to a drink stand, where after exchanging pleasantries with two young teens who were selling the drink of some type of local fruit and offering one to XO he replied, “..Our colony has an older model of the Type-11 colonial shielding array. Got installed back in 2350s and later updated in the mid 2370s during the Dominion War. About that time too we had some Type-8 Phaser defense stations in orbit also some Type-3 photon torpedo launcher equipped stations too as I recall. Starfleet also temporarily assigned a repair and supply outpost for helping with supply chain issues to and from the Sol system and beyond for the war effort. Thankfully the war never hit home here, nor in orbit. Best guess Starfleet told us was the Dominion never figured us important enough to factor into any attacks, partly due to our life and cultural styles ‘not being a threat’. As one intelligence guy put it. Still we did our part and supplied quite a bit of minerals, and such, so not like we just sat out the war ya know?” He said taking another sip of the glass before cleaning it and returning it to the teens.
”..Anyhow after the war was over and won, we requested the outpost and defense stations be removed. Starfleet agreed without much pressuring and beyond the comm beacon in orbit for things we’ve kept to ourselves since..” He said.

Sifeda couldn’t help but smile as she took the drink. She took a sip and nodded in approval. “It’s very good. Thank you.” Sifeda listened as Mr. Stiles explained their defenses. “You had the defense stations removed? You are not concerned about outside forces invading your colony? Sure the Dominion does not consider you important however that doesn’t mean that others would not. In my experience, it is always better to be prepared for the…unexpected.” As far as Sifeda was concerned these people were sitting ducks. Whenever they did encounter danger surely they would rely on the help of Starfleet to come save them. It was better they were able to defend themselves. “Tell me about the culture here Mr. Stiles. After your young people complete their basic education, what happens to them? Do they get any type of military training?”
Itri, XO
Kyle bit back the urge to squint at the sweetness of the drink, but smiled as the flavours settled inside his throat. Falling into step beside Commander Itri, the young Security Officer added, “I’d be very interested to see the kind of protection you offer for the colony, Mr. Stiles.”
