About ten minutes before the ship arrived at the home planet, the sensors showed them that there was almost no movement of the ships in the defensive position. At the same time, there seemed to have been preparations made for their arrival.Within an hour of the journey to the planet, the news was updated and there were news of a close encounter with beings from another world. There were pictures of the Genesis and the meeting of the CO with the representatives of Pallas on board the Merry. The encounter was described as peaceful and the impression of the representatives was that the ‘aliens’ were peace-loving. The big headlines was that the ‘aliens’ were arriving and officially meeting with the Pallasian government.

Marius glanced at the news reports for a few moments. “At least they didn’t came we were cannibalistic homicidal aliens. ” He turned to the science officer on duty. “Let see what the are saying on the less official channel, might also give us some information on the political machinations underneath the surface.”

There was, of course, the nay sayers and those opposed to the government. The political opposition claimed that the government was pulling wool over the public’s eyes. There were others who sowed fear by insisting that the aliens were probably a scout which would later bring a whole force to conquer the system. Still others painted a picture of resource hungry aliens who were out to strip the planet of their natural resources.
GM
‘Figures,’ Thomas thought with a snort of derision reading the views of the opposition. ‘Because this government is obviously capable of building something like the Genny in secret and only dragging it out now, crewed by actors in makeup, for some reason.’

Riley was scanning the news reports from his seat to Calvin’s left, “Fear can override logic. We are a big unknown to these people, it seems only natural some would think the worst.”
Dekker, CNS
They had taken about half an hour to analyse the news from the planet. They were now about 25 minutes from the emergence from warp.
