The First went to speak again but got interrupted by one of the Tri-Council members, =/\= We will manage 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.

=/\= Indeed, but most cultures have recognised first contact as a momentous occasion. It was certainly a defining moment in Human history, eventually paving the way for the first unified world government and, later, the United Federation of Planets itself. =/\= replied Glen.

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 we aren’t pushed for time either, so no particular rush,” added Glen.

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

“We’re agreed then!” replied Glen.

=/\= We’d like to continue together as a single group. We have sufficient time, and no one wants to miss anything out. If that is okay?” Glen replied.

A messenger came up to the Tri-Council then handing them a paper and conversing. There were nods and an exchange of signatures on the paper before the one spoke =/\= It seems even on historic days like this governance never ends. One of the tribal leaders is requesting our presence.=/\= She said.

=/\= Of course Captain. =/\= One of the Tri-Council members said nodding then. Turning then to the First. =/\= You and our advisors will accompany the party to our lead departments and explain our current efforts, history, and anything they wish to know. If there is any issues or concerns let us know. =/\= She said.

The First nodded bowing deeply, =/\= Of course, =/\= She said then turned to the Captain and the landing party as the Council departed back to the governance hall. =/\= Where would you be interested in touring first as a subject? =/\= She asked.

Kord was interested in the architecture and city infrastructure but he was sure others would find that boring. Besides, he could get that information from surface scans though it wasn’t the same as seeing it in person. So, he looked to Glen.

“What interests you most Captain?” he asked.

“It shouldn’t be just about me, but as you well know, my own interests are archaeology and a little geology, and I like looking at old telescopes and optical instruments. I thought you would want to see the architecture and city infrastructure. Maybe we could get a little of all of those from a museum. However, for the sake of writing up some report to Starfleet, we should probably also visit some art galleries and look at the structure of their government or parliamentary system. I guess that Inola will want to see their communications systems, Hal, their law and justice, Tia, their engineering, and the Doc will want to see their medicine and hospitals. We can’t possibly fit in all of that, not unless it was a real whistle-stop tour?”

-Glen, CO

Inola smiled sheepishly, unable to refute her captain’s words. “Really, language permeates every part of a society, so I’ll get something no matter where we go, sir. Starfleet likes the science and culture reports separate though, so an order of one and then the other might be best!” She had pulled out a PADD, seemingly from nowhere, ready to begin outlining the reports.
-Inola, Comms
