There was a minutes pause before the First replied =/\= I am not sure how to answer that Captain Glen. As we have never eaten food not brought from Alstair Prime. What would you suggest? =/\= The First inquired.
“Sorry, but in that case, maybe a buffet was a bad idea,” Glen said. “It is a very common thing for us to provide a sumptuous meal at our diplomatic functions, and to celebrate diplomatic ties with large banquets. Eating together, breaking bread with each other, this has been a symbolic human activity, historically speaking. It is usually a significant event that promotes brotherhood with others, fosters a meaningful connection, and promotes cooperation. However, without knowing anything about your physiology, there may be foods which we eat, but that contain chemicals that are poisonous to you. We have no way to calculate what would be a toxic amount, and obviously would never wish to do you any harm. We could provide a few of our own dishes for your scientists and nutritionist to analyse first, but I’d still be concerned. However, I have a better idea, I think? We have food replicators aboard the Merrimack. If you give us a sample of the food that you have brought from Alstair Prime, then our machines can analyse their formula and recipes, and we could then synthesise more of the same. That way we could sample and share your own foods with you along with our own. Would that be an acceptable alternative?”
Glen contacted William again to let him know of the change =/\= Sorry, William but I don’t know if the Alstairians can eat a strictly Federation menu, so I will send over details of some of their own foods for Chef to replicate. Glen out! =/\=
The Alstairian ships engines had been running again for several minutes now without any hitch. Glen expected that Kord or Tia might update him soon. He also wondered what Inola had discovered in her animated discussion.
Glen decided that he would actually like to have a tour of the Alstair ship himself before he left it, and to personally check on the progress made by his teams.
“Would it be okay for me to take a look around your ship myself,” he asked the First, “now that the immediate emergency is over?”
He contacted his XO. =/\= Kord, I’d like to take a look around this ship for myself, with the First’s permission. I can start by coming to the engine room where you and Tia can brief me on the repairs you have made. Expect me shortly =/\=
After a moment the First replied through the UT =/\= I see no problem with that Captain Glen. I will alert my crew to assist you if you get lost. =/\= She said.

“Then I will go and find my officers,” Glen replied. He left the Alstair ship’s Bridge and shortly arrived in Engineering.
