The base was well organized with a high volume of maps and security officers more than willing to give directions. But the relative lower tech was pronounced, instead of computer and automation directing visitors, people had to rely on maps, sign boards and their more knowledgeable fellow visitors. The diplomatic section was foreward on the cylindrical space station, if there could be a forward on an object that didn’t move and wasn’t oriented in relation to any other object.

Moreso than any other section, this area was clean, with wide halls and bright lights. The primary entrance was guarded by base personal and each of six doors were additionally guarded by two individuals of different races. There were 4 other doors that were not guarded. Each one of the guarded doors had the names of the previously identified ‘main races’.

“So which one do we take Mr. Bordeaux,” Kelly said and tried not to grin. Saying his surname now sounded odd yet mildly amorous. Like they were playing some formal game. “I mean unguarded doors tend to be the uninteresting ones. I can ask someone,” she hooked a thumb at one of the aliens in the room.

As they approached the gold gilded guards looked up questioning with their eyes.

GM

Frank chimed in “preferably an unguarded one Captain. Sure it’s less interesting, but I think it’s better that way.”

Gallagher

“Come on Gallagher where’s your spirit of adventure,” she said in a soft tone. “Besides I was reviewing your security evals. You are deadly with just about any object in a fight and your accuracy is on the money. I have utter faith you can get us out of whatever we get ourselves into,” she said in a neutral tone.

The main security desk ‘blocks’ all the entrances. The armed guards protect specific doors. “Good Afternoon.” the security officer said in a far more pleasant manner tha the guard at the airlocks.

“Do you have an appointment with one of the Ambassadors?” The officer didn’t seem convinced as she looked at her computer screen to see if there was an appointment scheduled.

GM

“The Lorn Ambassador. There was a situation earlier. Tell them I came to inquire about the events from earlier in the day,” Kelly spoke in a clear and confident tone as if they were back at Starfleet HQ and she was arriving for a scheduled meeting. Her message had legitimacy to it. If Commander Penny had rushed in to stop what Kelly assumed was about to be an intergalactic incident, the news would have also spread to other parties. Politics was like a hen party. People clucking about not knowing any information but ready to impart their views as facts unless someone was there to correct them.

The person made a face, “The Lorn Ambassador? Ambassador V’goth doesn’t see many people.... ” She looked at her screen again hit a key and it refreshed. “I don’t see anything on the docket.”

If the person behind the desk denied her an audience with the Lorn Ambassador, Kelly already was working on plan B. She was used to being told the person was not available. Heck, ninety percent of Starfleet official business was done in waiting rooms before you met with the designated party. This was typical of all governmental affairs. Kelly refrained from looking around the room to see who else if anyone was sitting and waiting to be called behind one of the set of doors. One could learn a lot from bored, impatient people. If they would not let them in the front door, Kelly would get information from the back door. Ian could smooth talk his way out of anything or into anywhere. She was personable enough and Gallagher could play out the my boss is a pain in the arse roll if needed. Everyone loved to gripe about thier boss and disgruntled office staff had the losest lips.

Captain Kelly Shultz

She turned to the security guards that protected the Lorn Ambassadors door. Interestingly enough the Lorn ambassadors door was the only one not protected by a person of that race unless Lorn’s were identical to the ‘human’ appearing security officers of base 5. The security officers shook their heads in a negative fashion.

“I’ll send a message but V’goth does not see unscheduled guest…” there was a buzz emanating from her console, “Until today.”

“V’goth says take them in.” She shrugged. “I guess you are special… However your weapons need to be left behind. The Lorns tend to be testy, and they have tons of automated systems, so don’t make aggressive moves that can be misconstrued.” She waited for the Federation officers to disarm. “And you’ll need breather masks.”

GM

Having been quiet until now, SEAI turned to the captain. “Ma’am, this might be a good time to remind you that scanning everything in the room is not recommended at this time, nor is a high level of snark unless we know that it is allowed.”

SEAI (CNS at the time)

Frank had stashed his knife in his boots by his ankles. Were anything to happen, Frank would be ready.

Gallagher

OOC: The scanners would detect the knife, particularly long hair pins (if you got them), biological/chemical/genetic containments that could be weapons, bottles that might contain such things

The security officer looked at a screen for a moment. “What’s with the knife?” she questioned. “I’m doing you a favor… if you pulled out that knife on the Lorn Ambassador you would be a puddle of component molecules. If you happened to be unlucky enough to injure the Ambassador, you ship and crew mates probably would suffer the same fate. The Lorn are not to be trifled with, if you have a care at all for yourself and your friends I would be particularly cautious and polite.”

She shrugged her shoulders.
