A few minutes after the arrival of the Klingons a sizable luxury hovercar flew the group from the Starport to the Commercial District to a neighborhood colloquially known as the Karlson Block. This was due to the fact that most of the Buildings in this area were owned by the illustrious businessman and older brother of the Police Commissioner, Johann Karlson. The Hover Limo stopped outside an eloquent looking glass building with an impressive front. In a semi-circle outside were several flags form different Planets and organizations within the Federation. Now hanging next to the flag of Oed V was the flag of House Juuv. When the vehicle stopped and the doors opened standing outside was the Detective Chief Inspector Pangolin, his short partner and the two escort Police Officers who were getting off their hoverbikes. “If you’ll follow me” Pangolin said with the same polite smile.DCI Pangolin
K’letn nodded stiffly and the rest of the entourage fell in behind her and Lord Dan’tuk and they followed Pangolin into the Hotel, nodded slightly in appreciation of the House banner so prominently displayed. Lord Dan’tuk spoke first as they entered. “We require food and drink after our long journey. I trust that is available?”
House Juuv
The group entered a great hall of a lobby. On the right side was the main check-in whilst on the left, there was a large waiting area. In front of them was a grand staircase curving up on either side and under it was a large door leading down another grand hallway. The design was a mixture of Earth Human and early Andorian architecture creating a warm and friendly looking hotel.
Pangolin turned to answer but his voice was interrupted by a man standing across the great hall. He stood far from the group so it was a wonder how he heard that comment “Oh yes indeed, milord” A tall thin man with a kind smile was walking towards the group. Pangolin suppressed a grin as he took a step back, allowing the newcomer to take charge. The man was an elderly human in his late sixties dressed in a rather expensive looking suit “My name is Jóhann Karlson, I am the owner of this establishment and your host.” He gestured the group to follow him down the middle corridor “You will be hosted in our executive lounge, a buffet style dinner has been prepared. I had my chefs whip up a three-parter, a federation platter, a Klingon platter and the Oedvian special” He led them across the hallway to an intricately designed double wooden door.
The door opened revealing a large room with glass windows looking out at a rather attractive looking garden. The room itself was split into two parts, the lounge area with several sofas and armchairs on a lowered level facing the view and on the main level a conference table with close to two dozen seats. On the wall to their left was a long buffet table filled with foods from various Federation Races on the closest end. In the middle of the table where several local delicacies and on the farthest end was the Klingon Food. At least three different types of Gagh, a plate of Gladst and a whole roasted Targ. Surprisingly all of the food was fresh and apparently not replicated. “I have a wide selection of Beverages, both Klingon and Federation available.” Johann said with a smile “You and you people can order whatever fits your fancy.”

K’letn nodded slightly in tacit approval and the delegation made their way into the ‘executive lounge’. The Klingons then descended upon the buffet like locusts, nearly stripping the long tables clear in less than an hour. Drink ran freely (but not quite enough to inhibit their thinking), and soon the delegates leaned back and belched in satisfaction.
Whilst the group started eating Pangolin received a preplanned comm signal and moved out of the lounge. When outside he started the hotels jamming signal and flipped open the ancient communicator [O]”Tagh”[C] He spoke the simple Klingon phrase before closing the device and handing it to one of the Deputies standing outside “Keep this safe for me” He said with a wink “And let the boss know he can make his dramatic entry soon” He said before entering once more
The doors to the lounge slid open and a female Vulcan, the museum curator, walked in. Nodding at Karlson and Pangolin, she introduced herself and took a seat nearest the Oed V representatives. Setting a PaDD on the table in front of her, she tapped a few commands. Karlson and Pangolin received a silent notification of the receipt of a text-based communication a scant few seconds later. It read “The hammer is free of the mineral, seemingly of it’s own accord. Scans are being performed now.”
Lord Dan’tuk spoke up. “Now that we have been properly satisfied, shall we discuss the matter of the relic in question? I wish to have this settled and done with. To that end, here is our position. House Juuv is the rightful owner of the piece. It was allowed to be held and put on display with the conditions that it would be kept in its original state. This has not happened. The museum violated the agreement. We are taking the relic back before it can be damaged further.” There was a pause and he shot a quick and subversive glance at K’letn and the added hastily “And we do not recognize any other claims of right of possession.“
Dan’tuk, House Juuv
The secondary door closest to the large table swished open and another, larger man, entered. He shared similarities with their skinny host. He walked to the end of the table giving the group a look “Apologies for my late appearance, I was held up by an unexpected Cabinet meeting” He said before sitting down at the head of the table. Pangolin Stood up “Police Commissioner Joseph Karlson” He introduced his boss before handing the large man two PaDDs. “This is Lord Dan’tuk of house Juuv and that is K’letn also of House Juuv” He told the Commissioner.
Joseph took the PaDD’s and gave them a quick read over, taking less than a minute to get caught up through the transcript he gave the two lead Klingons a look, first at the Lord then at the Klingon woman “Whilst I do understand your position I hope you’ll understand our, we are bound by Federation law and there has been a claim made to your piece. A claim I have been informed we have to take seriously.” Johann moved next to his younger brother and handed him a porcelain cup of coffee which Joseph accepted with a warm smile. The cup and saucer looked comically small in his hands “Unfortunately there are some hoops to jump through before the artifact in question can be released to you” He stirred the small spoon slowly “But since you came here directly all the way from Quonos we should be able to clear it up rather quickly”
