<Snip>Taking a seat beside Boja and the other Officers from his ship in attendance, Dante looked over the assorted foods and could appreciate a number of them. “Well” he said to his CMO, “it looks more appetizing than Klingon food, nothing is wriggling at least.” He had to grin and looked over at the other tables, nodding to an Officer here and there that he recognized. Taking note of his placing, he looked to see what kind of cutlery was provided and looked up at Boja. “Something tells me these foods are not replicated Doctor, I wonder of they are going to hold speeches before we dine.”

Satreya spoke softly, just above a whisper so her voice was more background to others that might be listening. “It does look promising for me on the food front, but no idea about the speeches. Gavain will know but I would try to follow the cues of our hosts. If they look expectantly at us while not eating, then it would probably be okay to start. Otherwise, wait until they do. They don’t seem to be the type to try to put you in a position where you would cause offence and I’m not picking up any deception. They seem generally happy to have us here.”

Once the whole gathering had sat down, including a late arrival, Controller Gu spoke up. He was a tall and lanky Laleri, with dark black fur and bright green eyes. He wore ornate tan coloured robes, with golden trim.
“Alright everyone. Thank you, thank you all for coming to this celebration. We’re all excited to have you all here. We’ve got a big meal set up for you, imported from the planet’s surface and made by some of our most renowned chefs. There are various forms of simple sustenance, as well as more complex dishes to follow. If you have dietary restrictions, someone will come around and give you a small form to fill so that we can find you food fitting for you,” he explained. He looked around. “I think that’s all, so we can get started eating in just a moment. We of Galdor are a deeply religious people, and we ask that you either join hands and lift them to the sky,” he gestured to a few Galdori demonstrating, “or bow your head. This tradition is a ceremonial prayer stance practiced first among the Arwan, but passed to the other races later in the ages.”

Satreya was on the more skeptical side of religious practices and in general avoided them. But she was open enough to be respectful of other people’s beliefs. She cast a slight look at Dante to see what he was opting for, but she chose to bow her head. It was not uncommon for both halves of her surface heritage to use a head bow as a greeting, so it worked for her just fine.
