The guard looked at the side of the door where there was a device, which the tricorder concluded was a communication device. It was like the old telephones of earth but with no wires.

“Can I use that?” he asked.

GM

“Sure, go ahead,” Thomas said, after scanning the device.

Reia felt like she should really have taken over at this point but, McGregor was in charge and, for some reason, she was happy to leave it that way.

  • Reia, CIO/Comms

OOC: Assuming permission was given …

IC: The man took up the handset and pressed some buttons. He took a deep breath and said, “Please do not think that I am hallucinating.” After a short pause listening to the person on the other side, he continued, “I have some aliens with me and they demand to see the continental leader.”

GM

“Request,” Thomas interjected. “Demand has negative connotations, I’d like to impress that we’re simply asking nicely.”

COS

The man looked at Thomas and then said into his handset, “Um … umm… They request to see the continental leader …”

After some moments, the man nodded his head and then put the handset down.

“They will send an escort here within the hour. Please wait for their arrival.” The man looked visibly relieved.

GM

Thomas nodded. “Alright. While we pass the time, could you tell us a little more about your people? What do you call yourselves, what do you call this world, what kind of hobbies do you have, what do you eat for food, what’s your favorite color, have you ever met a bunch of talking lizard people, that sort of thing.”

Ben just looked at the man that can be perceived as a serious look, but non threatening. Ben spoke up to Thomas in a quiet soft whisper “what do we do if they send out their military instead?”

Park

“We co-operate until the Genny can get back and get us the hell out of here,” Thomas whispered back.

COS

Reia thought Thomas and Ben both had valid questions as she began recording what had turned into an interview with a new species.

  • Reia, CIO/Comms

bump

About two hours later, a vehicle, like a military van on six wheels pulled up and out came a rather important looking man with some kind of uniform. There was a retinue of about 4 similarly dressed people with him. They were had hand-arms holstered at their hips.

“Pardon the security,” the important man said solemnly. Then he looked at each of the away team members before resting his eyes Thomas. “I am Menn. Who am I addressing?” he asked politely.

GM

“My name is Lt. Commander Thomas McGregor,” Thomas began, drawing himself up in an officious manner. “I’m an officer on board the starship U.S.S. Genesis, representing the United Federation of Planets. With me are Lt. Reia Shandy, a communications specialist, and Lt. Ben Park. Our ship is on a mission of exploration to this area of space and noticed your people have developed to a certain level of technology by which our laws allow us to initiate contact.”

COS

Reia wondered if this official looking person noticed that she looked significantly different from the others in hair and skin color. She also noticed that McGregor kept position as Chief Intelligence Officer from being mentioned. A maneuver she completely agreed with.

  • Reia, CIO/Comms

Ben nodded as his name was announced and stood adjacent to Thomas’s left.

Park

bump for GM

OOC: MY apologies for the absence. The end of the year was very busy of me in RL.

IC: “I am very glad to make your acquaintance,” said Menn. “I am actually at a loss for words. You are a superior race but you have taken notice of us. Yet we are neither the most powerful nor the most advanced continent on this planet. Is there a reason you chose us instead of the other continents?”

GM

Thomas gestured to the warp ship. “That,” he said simply. “Our orbital observations detected the signature of that vessel’s reactor, something we didn’t observe anywhere else on the planet.”

He paused for a moment. “You are not a united planet, then?”
