[snip]The timing was perfect. Kord had just finished.
“It is impossible to know everything. The universe is too vast. Even now with our advanced propulsion systems and being able to travel magnitudes faster than light, the universe has had enough time to expand to the point where, for our races, there are distant vistas, world, and possibly life that we will never discover.”
- Kord, XO
There was the usual pause before the First (the FTL ship Captain!) replied, =/\= To believe one knows everything is foolish if you ask me. My people strive to learn, discover, and experience much that our long lives have to offer. Though we consider change at a careful measured approach so not to proceed foolishly on some matters. My own ship’s construction and approval for launch on our test run alone took 60 years from the time the first metal beam was laid till we left this system.=/\= She said.
GM CockRoach
=/\= That’s interesting that you are able to manage change in that way. Preparing people and organisation s for change is a very difficult thing to do, but the nature of discovery and invention is that it they are usually quite unexpected; take our visit, for example. How can you manage the effect that our visit will have on your society. Whether you decide to join the United Federation of Planets or not, the fact remains that you now know that it exists. The clock cannot be turned back. We have a saying on Earth, that the ‘Genie is out of the bottle’, which I’m afraid won’t make any sense to you. =/\=

OOC: Changing thread title!
=/\= No we do not get what your reference means. =/\= One female said down the table with a shake of her head.
The First went to speak again but got interrupted by one of the Tri-Council members, =/\= We will manager your arrival much as we will any other unexpected events. With the truth, and open evidence of all we learn Captain and how it will effect us within the greater community and culture. =/\= She said.
Rising the tables were soon cleared away, and the Tri-Council, the First, Third, and their advisors numbering four in total remained behind as the room was emptied. The First was the first to speak up about leading the way for their coming tour. =/\= How might you like to continue this tour? As a group of one or divide up among your specialties and interests?=/\= She asked.

“We could likely get more information by splitting up and having a thorough debrief after, but the Federation is rather sticky in it’s rules about Commanding officers needing to be accompanied by a member of the crew capable of providing defense if it should be necessary.” Kord stated.

“And of course, no one would want to risk missing something everyone else gets to see,” Inola added with a grin.
