“The general populace are obviously going to be interested in aliens making first contact, that shouldn’t be a problem really,” Glen replied to the Dol. “Joe will handle that!” Then he continued, “I’d like to stay and discuss our future relationship a little more with you, if that’s okay? You didn’t answer my question about the Zok-Dorn Merchant Cooperative either? And while proper diplomats will come and discuss exchanges of knowledge and technology with you in detail, what we call second contact, I’m personally interested in a few things, if you don’t mind discussing them with me more now?”

”..Of course not, Captain Glen. We can certainly go into more detail of our encounter about the Zok-Dorn Merchant Cooperative. Forgive me I missed your question about it earlier, I was not avoiding it..” he said.

Lance was taking mental notes of what he saw. There and a small guess of their level of technology. He then leaned up against the wall “damn implants acting up again” he said to himself with a hand covering his left eye

Cross being a doctor caught the word ‘Implants’ and turned around ‘’Are you okay Lt? Is there anything I can do to help?’‘ she asked with a concern look on her face. The COS had yet to do his medical evaluation but there had been no time to do so, since they were about to board the shuttle when he joined the crew of the Merrimack.

William looked between the first officer and the Captain, he had always admired how CO’s and XO’s could often communicate without speaking, words with meaning beyond the words, it was like watching advanced mathematics that implied something greater than the whole of itself. He clasped hands behind his back and followed behind the XO, not minding the Conversation between Miriam and Lance.

Joe was simply waiting at the moment for the Dol to assign a tour guide to his group when he saw his main concern which was Doctor Cross start to move out of the corner of his eye. ‘Oh no she’s going to make a break for it.’ he thought to himself. He turned trying to make it look casual and unconcerned to see what it was she might be up to. He could only smile then as he saw her anxiously tending to Lieutenant Del Wolf about something. She could be a handful but at the end of the day she was a good and caring doctor.

He then turned to look at their science officer and said , “Well Mister Gray we seem to have a problem with getting a guide and now a problem with our security officer. If you’d like, join the Captain until we’re ready here.”

Joe then walked toward where Doctor Cross stood with Lieutenant Del Wolf. He smiled at both of them as he walked over. Coming up behind Cross, Joe said in a neutral voice .”Is there a problem Doctor?

Cross was about to tell the Cmdr to go and get lost somewhere, as she remembered hearing him saying to the Captain ‘’that he’ll watch over Miriam’‘.

‘’How should I know ,I can do nothing here or now nor without a medical Tricorder, the medical kit is in the shuttle ‘’ it was amazing how the CMO could talk with hardly moving her lips ‘’Lt Lance has this happened before ,do you have any idea what could be wrong ?’‘ Cross asked. She figured if he had the implants done a long time ago maybe just maybe he would know.

Tia had listened to the others and, like some of the others, not necessarily interested in seeing everything. But she didn’t think merely asking for someone to come here to talk with her would help.

Since the query to check out engineering has been merely a diversion to try and get away, she glanced back at the Captain when the conversations paused. “Sir, is like to stay with you if I may. I’m sure engineering would bore most of the others.

Perhaps if she stayed, she could learn about the seed pod program that had been mentioned. Engines were engines. But the tech she had uncovered with the child had her nearly as excited as the first time she’s felt the vibrations of a warp core.

“Yes, certainly!” Glen replied to Tia. He wondered if she wanted to learn the same as he did.

It was better that the Captain wasn’t left completely alone in any case; not that the Dol, Sal and Col hadn’t been perfect hosts, with questions answered and the food buffet provided, and they showed no sign of any hostile intention. In fact, what concerned Captain Glen the most was that they hadn’t yet asked for a single thing in return yet.

By this point Dol’s wife had come over, “..If you are all ok to follow me I can lead you to different places for a further in-depth tour?” Sal said.

“Well of course, ma’am.” Ferris said, trying to be polite but also not make a complete fool of himself.

Glen smiled to himself at this awkwardness. He really didn’t know what to call them himself, and Cara had just tried to call the Dol, “your Grace!” They didn’t even know the name of this planet yet, but he would rectify that once everyone had left for the tour.

Sal looked like a proper tourist guide, ready to show them all the local insights, fascinating stories and the Habitat’s hidden gems. Glen waited until the walking tour had left the room following Sal, and then he resumed the conversation with Dol and Col.

“First of all,” Glen began, “can I take a step back again and ask what we should call your planet and your species? Also, you said that Dol is a title, like my title is Captain. You may call me John and this is Tia. Can we also call you by your first name?”

-Glen, CO

Lance looked to the doctor “ i’ve been having slight pain in my implant on my left eye. It’s not usually a problem with his lights aggravating the pain” he said. A few years ago when he first started working security on the star base he got hit in a shuttle crash and lost his left eye as a result.
