OOC: I’m going to move this on as we seemed to have stalled a bit!

IC: As the Constellation approached the pleasure resort of Evagen, NE Fran started to panic. It was her first shift at the helm and it was just her luck she was going to have to park the ship which was not really her strong point. As they approached orbit she realised they were going a bit fast so slammed on the reverse thrusters, causing the ship to shudder violently at the sudden change of pace. Padds hit the deck, coffee sloshed out of mugs, patients fell off their beds in sickbay.

Cross was at the Security console where he immediately began to run tactical scans on the planet below. He was looking for which ships were in orbit, the planet’s armaments…etc.

The ship now in full reverse away from the planet and a dozen hazard warning lights on the console, NE Stan dashed over to the helm and frantically tapped Fran on the arm. “What the hell are you doing?!” He hissed. “You never put the reverse thrusters on full, you always come to a stop first, did you even check your mirrors…”

As the ship suddenly slammed to stop it, it was only to thanks to his own quick reflexes that he wasn’t slammed over the half curved upper console. At the first sounds of alarm he had glanced up and seen how fast they were coming at the planet and grabbed onto the console with all of his admittedly human strength. Despite that at the sudden stop he was still thrown half over his console and scrabbling for purchase. Very undignified.

Straightening himself he looked around the bridge to see if anyone had been injured.

Fran scowled and stood up, stamping her foot. “Fine! You do it then!” She spat and stomped off the bridge. Stan shook his head in despair and quickly took control, putting them back in the right direction and easing the ship into orbit. Under his breath he muttered, “bloody women drivers…” before clearing his throat and announcing, “stable orbit established sir, incoming message from the planet…”

“How has that woman ever gotten her pilot license?” Cross murmured to himself as he shook his head.

A friendly looking Tamarian beamed at them on the view screen, his arms outstretched.

=^= Armand and Sridhar at Pau’ri! The place of meeting…Dijan, when the sky flashed green…=^=

Behind the Tamarian was a very excited looked young man bouncing up and down and clapping his hands. Off to the side was a young Orion rolling her eyes at the excitable chap but at the same time peering curiously at the screen.

Cross looked up and studied these strange aliens. An Orion…that usually meant trouble. He keyed a query about what was known about the planet in the database.

The planet Evagen had been commissioned by a joint alliance of several neighbouring systems to bring tourism to the area. It had a state of the art spa which boasted the biggest swimming pool in the galaxy and had every conceivable activity imaginable from sports facilities to hiking and sailing as well as some picturesque scenery. It had been designed to be the ultimate luxury getaway.

It was not officially open yet, the Constellation crew would be their first official visitors on behalf of the federation.

The resort was run by a Tamarian named Ki’Jalla who had been one of the main benefactors.

Cross studied the results and then typed in a query about the background of said Ramarian Ki’Jalla.

The computer dutifully displayed the records. Ki’Jalla was a wealthy philanthropist who had made a name for himself in the leisure industry. He had built several leisure resorts throughout the local area but was well known as an honest and honourable man. There were no bad reports of him and he was well regarded by all who had dealings with him.

Picking himself up off the chair he had fallen back into, Aaron made a mental note about NE Fran. “Next time, remind me to make sure all the seatbelts work.”

NE Stan took a quick look the bridge and made sure everyone was ok and quickly checked damage reports to make sure his useless colleague hadn’t caused any major damage.

“Hmm, the resort was created by a Tamarian named Ki’Jalla, Commander. Appears to be above board by all reports given of him. A philanthropist.” Cross reported to Michaels.

Cross Sec

“Philanthropist?” Khavo echoed, rubbing the heel of her hand against her forehead. “Great! Maybe he can help pay for replacement seatbelts.”

OOC: Copy and pasted post here as thread split :)

“Duly noted Mr Michael’s I could not agree more about the seat belts” the commanding officer giggled looking over to the helmsman “Good Work”

Turning towards the main view screen Chris rose to his feet and walked closer before speaking. Once closing in a polite welcoming manner “I bring you greetings from the starship Constellation. I hope our arrival did not startle you” the commanding officer asked excited about the constellations latest venture.

Ki’Jalla let out a hearty belly laugh and shook his head. =^= Jeadan, his heart awake! =^= he replied with a grin. He studied the Captain of the visiting ship and realised he probably wasn’t accustomed to the way Tamarians spoke so clicked his fingers at Justin, the excitable young man stood behind him.

Justin scurried forward with a massive grin on his face and clapped his hands again. =^= Oh my goodness, I’m just like, so excited you’re here, I have been dreaming about this day… =^= he started as Ki’Jalla cleared his throat and tapped Justin on the shoulder. Justin giggled and tapped his hand to his forehead.

=^= Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry, I’m meant to be translating! =^= he said as he let out a little gasp.

=^= Ki’Jalla and his staff welcome you to the planet Evagen, we’ve been expecting you, =^= he added with a somewhat more professional tone. Ki’Jalla whispered something else in his ear. =^= He would like to cordially invite you to a welcome banquet this evening as our honored guests =^= Justin continued with a twinkle in his eye.

Despite having toppled over and only just finishing straightening up, Michael said “Speak for yourself about the seatbelts, I have to install them all.” Perhaps a sturdy blow to the head was all it took to give someone in the Jameson family self-confidence.

As she stood in the turbolift waiting for the doors to close, Ensign Fran burst into hysterical sobs at the comments from the bridge crew.

Justin picked up on the distant sound of crying but shook his head as he couldn’t see the source. =^= Please note, we have unusual mineral deposits in our mountain range here that interferes with transporter signals so unless you want to end up as cosmic seasoning, you’ll need to bring shuttlecrafts, =^= he added with as serious a tone he could muster.

James followed the group with quiet interest. He’d read much about the Tamarians or the Children of Tamar and the first succesful meeting between the two groups, he was gretly interested in seeing what there was in store for them here.
