Cochrane smiled a small but mischief-filled grin. “I’m down for it if you two are. Although we might want to save deliberately antagonizing new species until we are a little more familiar with our new play-area. And who the playground bullies are…”

Cochrane, CO

Olivia looked up from her chai beside the captain unsure of what was going to happen next. She looked up at the captain and wondered if she should join them or stay behind on the ship.

Grace, CNS

“Agreed buuuuuuuuut,” she drew out the word like a teenager trying to convince her father to give her the codes to the shuttle for Friday night, “we do have the power to drag their happy behinds up and down the playground without getting grass stains on our clothes. Just saying,” Celina shrugged it off. She would not press the issue but she as all about sending an all female away team to meet the Kazon. As CTO she was meant to hink of all the tactical options available in a situation. She let this idea of an all female crew float around in her head for a minute and then became perplexed at the thought. If Cochrane met them with an all female crew it might appear that he was In the house, as the frat boy college films always seemed to imply when a man walked in with several beautiful women. This would probably impress the Kazon and that was the last thing she wanted to do. If they came in with a mixed crew it would probably be best. Although the most adventerou option would be to leave the XO and CO on the ship as an all female away team went over yet no one was going to go for that. So many options to annoy the Kazon and yet so little time to try them all.

“Just because we can doesn’t mean we should, Lieutenant. But I will certainly keep the option in mind.” he said with a slight chuckle.

Cochrane, CO

Vorraye laughed as the banter bounced around the room. “If we aren’t careful, they’ll go home and claim women have harems and men are played with for pleasure.” She laughed at the idea and shook her head. “I’m sure we can slip in a peck on my darling’s cheek, should it come to that later,” she said with a wink to the tactical officer to let her know the idea didn’t offend her, but amused her. “But in this case I’m thinking the Captain may be the prime gender this time.” She glanced at him and batted her eye lashes. “Though being ‘your’ mate may not be a good thing either. We’ll stir up the sandbox later. But for now, Captain, I believe you should hail them and perhaps just defer to me openly, rather than in private as we would on most diplomatic missions. In this instance, your open display of valuing my opinion, or even deferring to it if you desire, should be a sufficient display of human behavior. Don’t you think?”
She didn’t step back behind him but did move back to his side.

Cochrane nodded and said “Sounds like a plan to me.” and he stood up and nodded at the Comms officer to open the channel. As the channel opened, a slight mischievous twinkle took it’s place in the Captain’s eyes and, once the channel was opened, he said “This is Captain Alexander Cochrane of the United Federation of Planets star ship USS Manhattan. Welcome to Event Horizon Station. May I ask to whom I am speaking?”

There was a pause and then the screen opened up again and the Kazon from before was visible. “I am Commodore Hylek of the Gruto Clan of the Kazon. We are here to conduct trade. You will allow this to happen, will you not?” the figure said in a manner that seemed to indicate his words may not actually be a question.

Cochrane smiled a bit and said “Oh, that’s not up to me, Commodore. I am the Commanding Officer of this ship. The station is a separate entity. If you wish to conduct trade, you have to get clearance from the Federation Diplomatic Corps. They are the ones who have final say on who can and cannot conduct trade and establish formal relationships with us. I’m just here to see who and what is around… you know, Science vessel and all.” he added non-nonchalantly.

“Fine. Direct me to these diplomats of yours.” the Kazon relied tersely. Cochrane smiled, but those that had dealt with him even briefly would know that it was not exactly a friendly smile.

“Oh, you already met her.” he said, making sure to emphasize the word. “Diplomatic Attache Anders. She is the one who will… or will not… allow you to conduct your trade mission. I’d recommend remembering that not all species follow your social rules, Commodore. We in the Federation promote on merit… not gender. Just a bit of advice, Sir.” and he looked at Vorraye, he face turned from the view screen and looked at her with a sly grin. “Madame. Commodore Hylek on the comms for you.”

Cochrane, CO

“Thanks, Sir,” she grinned at the comment and took a step forward, her posture and demeanor suddenly more commanding despite having not changed anything about herself. “It is a great honor to meet you, Commodore Hylek. I would be pleased to discuss a possible trade agreement with you. Would you like to join us for dinner this evening? Say… in two hours? It will give us time to prepare for your arrival so that details are met and and no offense is given.” She nodded to him with the deference his station warranted in his eyes.

Time would allow then to do a bit more research as well as get her parameters from Star Fleet about what she was allowed to negotiate for.

Kaia watched with wide eyes, her tail flicking back and forth. She leaped onto the floor and scurried over to stand next to Cochrane’s feet, putting her paws together. A bright expression was on her face. Ooh, they look so strange! she thought, glancing up at Vorraye and wondering if she might be allowed to attend this dinner and see these exciting new aliens some more.
