“If you had dropped out of warp an hour or two earlier you could have joined one of the teams commander.” That actually sounded a little more clearly as disappointment.

Marius

Tigress was half tempted to say something. Thanks to her feline ears she could hear every conversation on the bridge. She was a bit frustrated that she did not get picked for one of the away teams. Then again she probably was not the only scientist frustrated with this. So she stayed quiet deciding to try and remain as invisible as possible. She tuned out the captain and XO’s conversation and continued her scans. Though she did find it amusing that Ben was on the bridge and not plant side as well.

Magnus chuckled “I wish I had, Captain. Black Rock could only spare a runabout to give me a lift.” He continued reading over the logs for a moment before standing up again “Do you have any specific orders for me now, Sir?” He asked his manner professional but with a vein of casualness about it.

XO

“I’m letting Mr. Park have the conn for now to see how he operates. You can work as his XO for now.” He looked about for a moment as he stepped further back. It looked like he was going to be as silent as a church mouse.

Magnus gave the Captain an understainding nod as he sat back down.

“Tactical see if there’s anything on Mr. Neve, Mr. Bassa, Mr. Sora, and Admiral Clogtho in the Federation database.” The replacement Tactical officer nodded and began to sift through the database for the names that Ben had given.

Park

As this was a first contact situation, neither the Pallas system nor any of its people could be found in the Federation database. Under normal circumstances, someone would be placed in the planet without the planet knowing, so that an evaluation be made on whether the planet was ready for first contact. In the present situation, the first contact was made before an assessment was made.

GM
CO

“Interesting request, Mr. Park. Do you think we would have records of them for some reason?” His question seemed genuinely interested in his responce. He didn’t seem to be admonishing it, more or less curious.

XO

Ben sighed “I had hoped that I could devise a tactical assessment that would keep the away safe as much as possible Sir.”

Park

Hearing Ben cought tigress’ attention again. Now she was watching the CO and XO carfuly. There was nothing interesting or worth rooting coming in from her scans. “Lt. Park scans of the planet and its infrastructure could provide some insight into their tactics as well.” tigress suggested.
Ensign Tigress

Tigress to the rescue. “Great suggestion Ensign.” Ben quickly turned around and smiled at her. “How soon can you get your scans done Tigress?

Park

” I can get the scans,” she said as she typed in commands to her Console. ” however I don’t have the expertise to interpret them we will need someone who knows more about humanoids and their patterns. Lieutenant Jarvis might be of some help he is are International security officer.”
Ensign Tigers

Deeg sat with his chin in one hand, elbow on the console as he watched the main screen and the data flowing by. His fingers drummed the console. The Pallosian technology was standard. Seminal warp capability. Missile technology rather than energy weapons. Impulse speeds nothing to be surprised about. Yes this was a science vessel, but it had a lot more science than they had. What could go wrong? His brows furrowed and his face scrunched. A lot. They still don’t know they have transporter technology so they don’t know to try to block that.

Idly he tapped on the screen bringing up the location of the away teams on the map. Then he found the local population centers around them. There was still the potential of ravening anti-alien hordes descending on them to tear them to shreds. Seeking out local broadcasts and news from the close population centers he sought out the news and potential ‘sentiments’ happening there.

Magnus spun around in his chair, looking back at the Science Officer “No need to bother the Lieutenant, just put the results on the viewscreen. I have some expertise in studying and dissiminating information such as this. Might make for some good work whilst we wait for the next reporting.” He spun back around.

XO

Tigress rased an eyebrow. “ sir if you don’t mind me asking what is your feald of study.” She wondered If this new XO was I science officer or perhaps a consuler . As she asked the question the progress of the scans would show up on the view screen.

Magnus chuckled, tapping on his console for a few moments. “Not at all Ensign” He stood up from his chair and pressed his console once more. A small part of the viewscreen now housed his Personel file. His Starfleet Timeline from his graduation date and final grades in 2373, several medals and combat commendations from service during the Dominion War and a picture of him taken last year on Earth. He turned to face the Bridge crew, now was as good a time as any to introduce himself.

” I have been a member of Starfleet for twenty-two years. I graduated from the Academy as a Security officer with a focus on special tactics and advanced combat training. After the War, I received specialized training in diplomacy from the diplomatic corps. Since then I have received two Doctorates, one in War Studies from the Starfleet War College and one in Diplomacy from the University of Geneva. For the last two years, I taught advanced Combat Tactics at the Starfleet Academy in San Fransisco. Any further questions?”

XO

” impressive, why did you join star fleet, sir,” Tigress asked. She was focused on the XO now. Her ears pointed in his direction; her gold eyes had a strange intensity to them almost as if she were more feline then humanoid. Her tail swayed back and forth behind her.
Ensign Tigress

Marius tilted his head and walked slowly away from the group. It would help his understanding of all of them if they spoke freely as if he wasn’t even there…

Magnus stifled a chuckle, not the question he had expected. “Well since you asked, I was convinced by my elderly cousin to enlist. I spent the better part of a year training and preparing for the entrance exam.” His smiled changed shape as he reminisced “But I guess I joined so I could explore the unknown, we had just discovered the Bajoran Wormhole when I started at the Academy. It was a very exciting year I can promise you that.”

XO

Tigress’ ears flattened agenst her head she was a little confused by the mans cheerful demeanor. “ do you find something amusing” she asked turning her head sideways. She was not shure what to think of this new XO.
Ensign Tigress

The console was coming up with some details of the planet’s defences. The planet’s technology was definitely less advanced that what the Genesis had. The Starfleet ship would make short work of several of the smaller ships and even cause major damage to the planet should there be an all out firefight. From the scans, the planet had arms but not enough to make the inhabitants a war-mongering people. There were elements of culture and peace as well.

From their weapons’ placements, it was clear that the main line of defence were the ships that were in space. They had a sizeable fleet but even with numbers, they were no match for the Genesis.

GM

Marius slid over and looked down at the data that was coming in. Nothing he was concerned about so he continued hovering in the background.

Magnus turned around to look at the results of the scans “Oh I find many things amusing, Ensign” He put his hands behind his back “Well this is interesting” He looked at Ben “Lieutenant Parker, you’re a tactical officer, what do you make of them?” He asked his ‘Captain’

XO

CO

“Commander the only defense on Pallas are their ships. Even with their fleet the way it is now, it’d still be no match for the Genesis Sir. With the data collected should something happen to the away team we’d be able to get through their defenses pretty quickly and easy. “

Park

“That’s a good tactical analysis, quite spot on” He complimented “Now look beyond the Tactical” Magnus moved closer to the viewscreen “In Command you have to not just see the weapons but also what else is there. These are no warmongerers, they have centres for culture and peace and a planetary defence focused in their fleet. If our away team has the chance I’d like to ask them to bring back a sample of their cultural database, if you want to learn about a species study their art and history intertwined Lieutenant. It gives insight into what you already see”

XO

Tigress looked at the screen the fact that they seamed piecefull would be a good indicator that they might have more respect for the wild life in their plaint. “ I wonder how they handle their wild life.” Tigress mused. The comment was nothing more then the science officer thinking out loud. Thows he know her well know this was a comen acurince. She started to type camand into the consule a mother set of scans looking for types of animals plants and habitats. She however set the results of these scans to only show up at her station so not to desterb the XO and Ben.
Ensign Tigress

Ben nodded at th new XO “Yes Sir. Can we also send a cultural database of us as well in a sharing of two completely different cultures?” =^=Genesis to away team see if you can bring back a cultural database with you as soon as you’re able too.=^=

Scanning news was mind numbing, at least to Deeg. Even though it could mine a lot of information it was still a slog, and to find out specifics of whether there was any negative comments about their presence. He was listening. Cultural database. Not a bad idea. A lot could be gleaned from their history and art. He glanced over at the XO. Look deeper he said. What is underlying what they are doing? Why do they have warp capable warships when they have no one to war with? A natural exploratory mind would send out survey vessels to the nearest systems.

While he tapped about he pulled up their planetary defenses. Which again was a little odd. Defending against what? Were their satellites and defenses pointed ‘out’ or ‘in’ to their planet? Or out into space?
- Deeg

The open records were interesting. The Pallas system had ventured out of their planet to look for resources. They were able to colonise a neighbouring planet but except for the statistics from the planet, information about the colony was sparse. There was a report about negotiations to grant limited autonomy to the colony some years before. After that, there did not seem to be any news nor record. There were the secret archives; the computer onboard the Genesis had the capability to crack their security codes to look into the government secret archives.

GM

Deeg’s eyes squinted as he read this. His mind raced to the possibilities inherent here. One didn’t just ‘leave’ a colony out there. It had only been some decades. That was young. They could travel about between worlds. Autonomy. That smacked of independence maybe? But nothing in the news for years. They had strapping ships here that could make that trek. They had communications. Was no one interested? Secret archives. His fingers hovered .. curious. He glanced about out of the corner of his eye. Sometimes rules got in the way of so much good stuff.

“Sir,” he said, speaking to the XO for the first time. “They have a colony but public information is .. lacking, and nothing has hit the news for the past several years. It was colonized a few decades ago. The last thing I saw was some discussion about limited autonomy.” He paused. “Sir, if we could explain away a probe we could send it to check it out.” But with them being in orbit with all their defenses and ships around them that would not be an easy excuse. “The computer registered a government archive of information on the colony. They are encrypted but we could get past it. Active sensors could check for signs of life, energy outputs, transmissionson the other worlds, though those would be detected by the Pallosians and we’ve not played that hand yet on our sensors.”
- Deeg, Eng

Magnus moved closer to the center of the Bridge, stopping at the right side of the Captain’s chair. He had a slight smile on his face “Now that is interesting” He’d read all available information that the Genesis had been sending to Starfleet Command, both Logs and the intelligence they had gathered on this new species. From what he’d been able to gather there had been some disagreements regarding accessing the encrypted government files. “Often before first contact is made the species in question has been monitored for some time so we could better understand them. Now it’s more complex as we stand on their doorstep with boots on the ground. Surrounded by people we know next to nothing about” He mused “However, we are in their space and we must respect their laws, and I doubt I would take long to find that decrypting secret governmental files is probably highly illegal.” He patted the chair slightly “A sensor scan, on the other hand, is something I could recommend.” His eyes turned to the Captain before turning back to the ‘acting Captain’ Ben Park “Since this would be your decision how would you proceed?” He asked curiously.

XO

Marius’ face had a slight frown as he weighed the options. There was an only slightly perceptible nod in the affirmative.

Ben nodded “Proceed with running a full sensor scan”
