Magnus smiled at the man with the landing lights, he remembered reading about something similar in history class as a child, he decided that he wouldn’t mention it to the poor man that visual navigation was very much a thing of the past. Well mostly, viewports and windows on shuttles were still a thing despite being of almost no practical use. He stood up and turned around to face the crew “All right, Dömur and Herrar, let’s get one final look at this world” In his case first and final look he supposed.When the door opened he stepped out first after giving the Security NE’s their final orders to close the shuttle and be prepared to leave at any sign of trouble. He took a deep breath of fresh(ish) air and looked around the alien landscape.
XO
What he saw was much like 21st century Earth. A military suited Pallasian was waiting for the team to exit the shuttle craft.
“Welcome to Pallas,” the man said with a bow. “I am Major Sandy. I am very pleased to meet you.”
GM
David followed behind the XO as the away team exited the shuttle. He silently observed their welcome party and looked around for any other surprises that might await them.
-Lt David Michaels, CSO
Reis slipped out of the shuttle behind David, glanced around, and settled in for introductions and whatever may come next.
- Reia, CIO
The man patiently waited for the whole away team to emerge from the shuttle.
GM
Tom stepped out of the shuttle and straightened his black jacket. Flicking some imaginary lint from his shoulder, he moved to stand near Magnus. He appeared relaxed and inattentive but was actually paying careful attention to the Pallasians body language and vocal stresses.
- Tom, IntSec
Thomas confirmed the XO’s orders with his security men, then exited the shuttle himself. He saw that Jarvis had gravitated to the XO, which he appreciated. The amazing vanishing act’s skills were best suited to the sort of information gathering they were here to do, and if push came to shove Thomas had no doubt he would make a very effective bodyguard, not that the XO really needed one.
For his own part, he moved to stand near their small Intel officer, giving a nod of acknowledgment in the general direction of the Pallasian and the XO.

Magnus looked back at the team gathering behind him and smiled, it was a smile he’d worn more or less since his arrival just a few short days ago. “Pleasure Major” He said looking at the stranger with the same smile “Please lead the way” He resisted the urge to ask him to take them to his leader, mostly because it was unprofessional but also because he couldn’t be sure that no one else had attempted the quite common human attempt at humour. His hands came from behind his back and the group could see that he held a leather pouch roughly the size of a mid-length paperback novel.
OOC: After XO’s reply …
IC: “Please come this way,” Major Sandy said. They were brought into a building that was about 400 metres from where they landed. The team was brought to a large room where there were seats, like a huge living room. There were three three individuals there. One man in civilian attire which the team recognised as Mr Sora. There were two in uniform: the man was General Clogtho and a woman who the team had not met before.
GM
Magnus had not met any of the men but having read all the relevant logs and briefings he had a rough approximation of who the leading members of the group were “Afternoon, I am Lieutenant Commander Magnús Pétursson” His slightly Scandinavian accent, although probably made no difference to the aliens, gave an unusually friendly feeling to a Natural Federation Standard speaker “First Officer of the USS Genesis” He waited to introduce his members for later.
XO
“Welcome Commander,” replied Mr. Sora. “To my right are Admiral Clogtho and Commodore Pipa. Admiral Clogtho is the commander of our fleet and Commodore Pipa is the Chief Operations Commander.” The two uniformed individuals bowed slightly in acknowledgment.
GM
‘Interesting,’ Thomas thought, *’That we decide we want/need more information on their government and they greet us with three members of the military.’
