Menn allowed the away team to speak. He seemed very interested in the outcome of their discussions.GM
Thomas put his arms around Park and Reia and pulled their heads in close, allowing him to speak in a quiet whisper that their hosts hopefully wouldn’t be able to hear.
“Thoughts, gang? I feel like I’m starting to get in over my head here.”
COS
“My thoughts Lieutenant is stick to the Prime Directive. The minute we feel that this craft is going to attack the neighboring areas we leave for the Genny immediately and leave orbit. We cannot interfere with this under any circumstances. Ask questions and get as much information as possible . I don’t feel the need to offer our assistance, due to the fact that we have no idea of their intentions.”
Park
Reia wondered if they would already be an obscure foot note in somebody’s daily log that would make it onto a history book somewhere so, hadn’t they already interfered?
“I tend to agree with Park in this situation. Ghost in ghost out basically.”
Reia wasn’t used to working in teams so hadn’t really had much to say during the whole mission.
- Reia
“I think we’re a bit past that,” Thomas replied. “But I suppose I can try to get more information out of him. I think the only way we’re going to get all the answers we need, both for ourselves and for the diplomatic team that will eventually follow us though, is to wrangle a summit between the three continents and meet all their leaders at once.”
COS
Reia made a face at that.
“While I agree with your idea in theory, somehow I doubt that the leaders of these three continents will and we don’t exactly have three ambassadors to spare aboard the genesis.”
- Reia, CIO/Comms
“I agree with Shandy here Lieutenant. There’s too many uncertainties that could happen aboard the ship. I’m speaking as your subordinate in security.”
Park
“Alright, no to the summit. Should we ask to stick around for the warp test?” Thomas asked. “No, scratch that. I’ll ask Minister Menn if he’s got a project engineer we can talk to directly about the test, and their ship, Lt. Shandy, you duck out for a moment and call the Genny to give them an update on our status. Text me the result, if they want us back I’ll make our excuses.”
COS
Reia nodded and thought that was a stellar idea.
- Reia, CIO/Comms
“Alright then, that’s the plan. Park, you stay with me,” Thomas said, breaking the huddle and returning to Mr. Menn, while Reia slipped out to comm the Genny.
“Mr. Menn, would it be possible for us to speak to one of the project engineers? The chief, if possible. I understand it’s the middle of your night cycle here, but we would appreciate the opportunity.”
COS
Ben was curious if this would work with minimal interference from these people.
Park, BO /Tactical
Menn sounded more curious than impatient, “Is there anything else you might want to know?”
GM
“Well, the design is rather unique, compared to what we usually see,” Thomas said, trying to phrase it politely. “I have some questions about why he chose that particular configuration, and would like to take a look at his field equations.”
COS
“You will meet the designer, Esther Krill, if you are willing to go to our launch site,” replied Mean.
For some reason, Mean was quite eager to show the vessel to the visitors.
GM
Ben whispered to Thomas “I’d like to see the vessel and it’s capabilities if that’s ok with you while you’re meeting with the designer.”
Park
“I’m quite willing,” Thomas replied. It would probably be fine to take a trip here, he reasoned. Unless their cars were made of kelbonite or something else that would block the Genny from beaming them back…
COS
From the data collected earlier by their tricorders, there would be a test launch in 10 hours time.
GM
OOC: And correct me if I’m wrong, but we don’t know that the Genny’s gone haring off to the next system at this point, right?
Brandon
OOC: I believe so. Yet, I think that you can still communicate with the ship.
GM
IC:
By this time Reia had rejoined them and decided to remain silent till she had time to speak with Thomas.
- Reia, CIO/Comms
OOC
“I’ll give you a moment to make the arrangements for our visit to the launch site,” Thomas told Menn, while stepping back and beckoning Reia over.
“Well?” he asked quietly.
COS
Reia shook her head and put her finger to her lips.
“I received no response so, we are on our own.” she stated.
- Reia, CIO/Comms
“Oh, great,” Thomas said. “As if I wasn’t feeling exposed enough down here…”
