“I don’t think anyone is quite like anyone else. But I know what you mean. The rest are all human, but I’m a different species, from a different planet. My home planet hasn’t joined the Federation, and I don’t think they’re likely to, at least not anytime soon. So you won’t see many of my people in Starfleet. I think I may be the only one, though we do have several ambassadors,” Nika replied.
“I haven’t seen much of your home, so I would have to guess here, but I don’t think so,” Nika replied. “At least as far as administrative things go. The Firont, my people, don’t really have a centralized government, we don’t really have that much of a government, at least not by the standards of most other people.” Nika shrugged. “For us, it’s always seemed just right, although I think I can understand why our system might not work for others. Sometimes it barely seems to work for us,” Nika smiled.
“And my world is much quieter. I guess it’s just that most of the natural sounds seem muted, in comparison to most of what I’ve heard here. And its always struck me as very…I guess colorful is the right word, compared to other worlds.” Nika said, knowing that she should try to describe it better, but at a bit of a loss as to how. “My people are very visual, that’s part of why my eyes look strange, so in anything we made we’re going to emphasize its look over any other aspects. And while we might often think that something is beautiful because of the way it looks, we won’t often stop to think on how nice something sounds.” Nika was talking quite a lot, for her, but she had information that she knew her companion didn’t know, and she was happy to share it. She could talk about few things as much as she could talk about the world where she was born.
“I’m Nika,” she said, remembering, finally, to introduce herself.

*Tiffani had been picking at her meal for some time now as she watched felix and the female who had been escorting felix to his table, she couldn't help but feel a bit jeolous at the fact of her husband being so friendly with another, it was in her nature and she tried to put some of it at ease by telling herself that she was just reading more into what really was going on, she was brought back to reality when the male who had been sitting with her and Samantha asked her a question*
"And what about you commander", he said, "So young, and already a first officer of a Federation vessel"; he said
*Tiffani smiled* I suppose you could just call it luck, being in the right places at the right time. *she smiled at Moraka as she finished her last word* what about you? what about you? tell us a little about yourself.

"... I guess that it would be a little more romantic, don't you two agree?" Travor asked Owen and Gareth.
"Undoubtedly," Owen responded with a wink to the young lady on his left,"but I still find myself looking out at the stars, while we are travelling at warp, and getting caught up in the moment."
Owen listened to the small talk for a while longer as he looked at the plate in front of him. He'd hardly eaten any of the food as he found it all to be a bit bland, and he'd also taken one of the injections to keep his hearing in check.
"Is there something wrong with the food?" his companion asked him looking somewhat puzzled.
"No, no, the food is great. It's just that I have been a little unwell recently and one of the medications I have taken has diminished my appettite quite significantly." he replied attempting to keep the relationship friendly.

Alyya smiled at the compliments they were getting on the food and drinks. "We do try," she ensured Savali, as she continued to smile. She didn't touch her own food, she had already eaten before the party. She smiled at her consort, who was - to Alyya reluctantly, but to Savali quite happily - keeping the Starfleet captain company. She and her consort would enjoy a wonderful night together, she knew already, the girl had quite earned that pleasure by now.
~~~~
"I don't know what to tell," the minister replied, almost shyly, "I'm still unfastened, though that may change soon. I do have a daughter, and a baby son. My partner has another son from an earlier partner. I intend to ask my parner to engage in a handfastening with me, so that she'll become mine for life."
The minister paused as he sipped his drink. "I am the minister of culture ever since Alyya became prime minister. My twin sibling became minister of foreign affairs at the same time. Together we make sure that the people of Oneb 3 are happy, and that our planet is properly defended against enemy forces. Now let me ask you a guestion. What guarantees do we have if we do become a member of this Federation?"
<Tag: Tiffani>
~~~~~
"Not really, there has been the notion of there being other races out there for several generations. When I became prime minister, it was already known that we were not alone in the universe. We've been visited by a pointy eared species, as well as a species that looked as though they had a nice dent in their foreheads. Both people claimed we belonged to their empire, but neither came back to visit us again. The Federation is the first group of people to offer us a place in a united front where we can still remain ourselves."
She gazed directly at Felix, unblinking. Her third eye was detecting something but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. There was something about the way he asked about their history that alarmed her. "As for our history, I will take you for a tour around the cities and the national history museum myself, after the banquet." She smiled again, this time a little more genuine. "I am quite certain that you will find nothing out of the ordinary captain, but you may certainly conduct your investigations. Just let my vice president know where your people are at all times. There will be no unauthorised visits to national monuments."

“My father was an engineer on Earth not for Starfleet though, I use to go with him on his rounds and found it of great interest and decided that was what I wanted to,” she explained thinking back to those days and realising how much about engineering she had actually learnt of her father.
“Becoming a Starfleet engineer was more Grandmother’s influence, she was a member of Starfleet and use to tell me and my older brother stories about the places she had visited in stars. Me and brother use to stare up at the stars as children and wish one day to explore them,” Sam continued, “An here I am now exploring those stars for filling my childhood dream.”
Sam smiled and continued with her meal as Moraka turned and started to talk to Tiffani. Her thoughts wandered to her brother wondering what he was up to now and how well he was going to his assignment studying a pre-industrial civilisation. She made a mental note to contact him when she got a bit of free time and see how everything was.
Sam was really enjoying the food, as the rest crew seemed to be doing as well. Moraka was having a long conversation with Tiffini, so Sam decided to speak to his twin brother.
“So what made you decide to go into politics?” she asked Makaar.

"Ah but of course, we will respect your laws", he said, "All visits will be announced in advance to give your people to prepare", he said to her as he resumed eating
"And I would be honored for you to guide me through your national museum, as long is it will not pull you away from your PM duties", he said
<Tag Alyya>
--Meanwhile--
"Interesting"; the doctor said to the man, "So your healthcare system has always been the most advanced part of your society?", he asked
"Indeed it has been. We never invested much in our military but we concentrated on making our life expectancy longer and therefore the result is that our healthcare system is this advanced", the man said
"Amazing", the doctor said, "Isn't it darling"; he said to nurse Patterson
"Indeed, a planet which I would love to live on", she said
The man smiled at them. Well it certainly wasn't that difficult to get this two on our side he thought as he kept smiling politely.
--Meanwhile at another table--
"I am so sorry to hear that"; the girl talking to Owen said
<Tag Owen>

"Perhaps after the reception the three of you would be willing to join us for a tour of the capital"; they asked them, "And if you reject we will be offended"; they said

"Do you like the food?" she asked Travor.
Travor stopped eating for a moment, "Why, Yes I do like the food, my dear."
"Perhaps after the reception the three of you would be willing to join us for a tour of the capital" they asked them, "And if you reject we will be offended" they said.
"Well in that case, I accept your invitation," Taravor said.
Just then the desert was brought out. It looked like a cross between a danish and a piece of chocolate cake. It tasted magnificant and Travor asked Owen, "Are you going to eat that?"

“So your planet hasn’t joined the Federation?” the young man, who still hadn’t told Nika his name, asked her.
Nika nodded. “But you’re in Starfleet?” he said, obviously wanting a further explanation.
“Yes. My people did not want to join the Federation,” Nika answered. “If it was just up to me, I would have joined, but there are more people on my planet that don’t want to join than do. I think most people don’t want to join because then they’d have more rules and more government. I obviously think the good out ways the bad, because I joined Starfleet.” From the look on his face, the young man still didn’t understand how she could be in Starfleet without really being in the Federation, and she hadn’t quite gotten to explaining it yet.
“To join Starfleet when you’re not a member of a federation world, one has to be sponsored and have a letter of reference from a command level officer. It isn’t really as hard to do as it sounds.” Nika smiled. “But I don’t think that would apply to you, since we’re here because your world is going to join the Federation.”

"I am so sorry to hear that." the girl talking to Owen said
"That's okay. It can't be helped."
"I was already afraid that I was keeping you from eating by asking you all these questions." she said
"Not at all. As I said it's a medical condition but from what I have tried, the food is quite nice." Owen responded as he handed his plate to the waiter.
Travor was asked about the food before the women returned their attention back to Owen. "Perhaps after the reception the three of you would be willing to join us for a tour of the capital, and if you reject we will be offended." they said to Travor and Gareth as well.
"Well in that case, I accept your invitation," Travor said and both Owen and Gareth nodded in agreement.
"Are you going to eat that?" Travor asked Owen gesturing towards the dessert. Owen cut the dessert in half before placing half of it on Travor's plate. "By all means, help yourself."
At that point Owen started to feel a little unwell. "Is there somewhere that I may relieve myself?" he asked his companion as he stood up.

"And I would be honored for you to guide me through your national museum, as long is it will not pull you away from your PM duties", he said
"Oh no it won't," Alyya smiled, "this is one of my duties. Did you know that only a female can become prime minister? Just like doctors, which are solely female occupations. As I explained to your lady engineer, technical jobs are specifically for males on Oneb 3, just like financial occupations. Anything dealing with technics is for males, anything dealing with health- and general care is for females."
<tag: felix>
"Oh I meant to ask, your lady first officer won't be jealous that my attendand and I will be showing you around the city? I'm certain Moraka is more than willing to guide her around. You aren't the jealous type, are you captain?"
<tag: felix>
____________________________________________
At that point Owen started to feel a little unwell. "Is there somewhere that I may relieve myself?" he asked his companion as he stood up.
Remya gazed at her male companion, her third eye half closed in amusement. "Naturally," she said, then pointed over to a small tree. "Over there."
<tag: johnson>
Gonto's consort, Talya sniggered as well. "He's shy Remya," she whispered, nodding towards the young officer whose face had coloured an oddly shade. "He's turning all red, is that usual for your species?" Talya then asked Gonto.
<tag: Gonto>
"Really?" she then exclaimed, aghast, "look, there's no need to be embarassed. All the males use the trees." She pointed to Onebian men, who made use of the trees as though it was their second nature to do so. "That's how our trees stay healthy too," she then explained, "we females use the bushes."
Talya noticed that Gonto was starting to turn a little pink around the ears as well. "Well, how do you do it then?" she asked sternly.

Sam was really enjoying the food, as the rest crew seemed to be doing as well. Moraka was having a long conversation with Tiffini, so Sam decided to speak to his twin brother.
“So what made you decide to go into politics?” she asked Makaar.
"Our mother was the previous prime minister," Makaar answered, keeping his eyes (all three of them) on his beautiful companion, "so it is natural that a prime minister's sons go into politics. The ministers generally are male, though the prime minister is always female. A minister's offspring will always go into government positions. If I ever get handfastened, and I get offspring, my offspring will also go into govermnent positions when they come of age."
He took hold of Sam's hand. "How about you? What made you go into a male's position like engineering?"

"Yes, it is usual for our species to turn differnet shades of red when we get embarrised. It also allows us to show differnet emotions, such as anger," Travor told to two consorts.
"Really?" she then exclaimed, aghast, "look, there's no need to be embarassed. All the males use the trees." She pointed to Onebian men, who made use of the trees as though it was their second nature to do so. "That's how our trees stay healthy too," she then explained, "we females use the bushes."
Talya noticed that Gonto was starting to turn a little pink around the ears as well. "Well, how do you do it then?" she asked sternly
"Well, we use what we call restrooms, or latrines in the Military, which is what Starfleet is. They are rooms that have bowls and running water, so that we keep our ships sanitary, the water is collected, cleaned, and reused. It is what we call recycling. In the old days of Earth, while we were still fighting each other, Soldiers used to relieve themselves much like you do, where ever they find that has a little privacy," Travor replied to Tayla.
"What can you tell me about your justice system?" Travor asked the two consorts.

"Well although I respect your society I can not say that I agree with a system that is gender specific. Once, a long time ago, on Earth there were some things only men could do and women were only meant to cook, stay at home and take care of children and their husbands.

“Rekal, that’s a nice name,” Nika commented. Although Nika didn’t actually know anyone besides the man in front of her named Rekal, something about the name just seemed more Firont than a lot of other names she knew. Well, it actually seemed more like a Firont nickname, since for some reason actual Firont names tended toward the flowery and longish. Nika guessed that was one way of insuring that everyone used the nicknames.
“It sounds like it could be interesting work,” Nika replied to Rekal. “But I must admit, I don’t know what a ministry of internal affairs does,” Nika said. “I guess I’d sort of appreciate a description of your whole government, why do your people feel the need for one, and how important is it in their day-to-day live?” Nika asked. “That is, if you truly don’t mind explaining it to me,” she finished.

*Tiffani smiled politely before responding to his question* As a member of the United Federation of Planets often refered to as UFP you will protection from enemies, a peaceful coexistence with a variety of other species who are members of the federation, liberty, equality and acess to certain Federation Technology. *Tiffani paused for a moment*
Also as a member of the federation you have the right to have a representative on the Federation Council back on earth and citizens can someday become president of the UFP if elected into office. you can also attend Starfleet Academy to become a member of Starfleet. Basically as a member of the United Federation of planets you would have all the same rights of any current member of the UFP. *she took a sip of her drink as she finished*

She ignored the comment about it beginning a male’s job, it was there cultural belief and she couldn’t change what they thought, whether she agreed with it or not. In her mind no job was either man’s or woman’s job, but she had been brought up in a world that believed that they hadn’t.
“I decided to become an engineer because I use to help my dad out on his rounds as an engineer. I enjoyed the subject and found I had a gifted for it,” she explained keeping it shorter than she had explained it to his brother a few minutes earlier.
“I did follow in my father’s footsteps like you did your mothers,” she commented, “But it is not tradition in my family to go in the same career as your parent’s, it the choice of the offspring to do what they want to as a career path.”
“But I know there are a few families on Earth, that have traditions of career tracks,” she continued thinking about a high school friend, who had been persuaded by her family into looking after the family business, when she was an extremely talented artist. She had continued painting part time. Sam wondered what had happened to her now, they hadn’t spoken in years, she hoped that she had followed her dream and became an artist.
“So was there no other career that you wanted to do instead of following family tradition?” she asked him.

"Nothing," Talya said, sounding somewhat sad, "we know nothing of our justice system. As consorts, we stick to our profession, and know nothing about other professions."
The truth was rather differently, as both Remya and Talya knew perfectly well what the justice system entailed. They both served as justices to represent Oneb 1 on the justice council, but they had been told not to discuss the justice system with the Federation people.
____________________________________________
"It is just how this culture works," Alyya replied, slightly offended, "and people are content with the way things are. Any discussion on change may in fact unsettle them, so I ask you to tell your people not to press the issue onto my people. Anyone who presses the issue will be asked to leave this planet."
<tag: Felix>
"Good," the prime minister responded with a sly smile, "because I am sure she will be enjoying her company as much as you will be enjoying yours. We are a hospitable people, as long as our laws are obeyed. We also enjoy giving tours around the city, so please if you have questions, ask them."
"You are free to decide when and where to begin, as long as you ask permission to go somewhere before you actually go. Especially if you wish to visit sacred or governmential sites."
<tag: felix>

Moraka smiled at the beautiful first officer, but refrained from touching her. Orders had been specific on that front. "Tell me more about this academy," he said with keen interest, "and tell me more about this Federation. How many different species are in this Federation?"

____________________________________________
"No, not really," Makaar replied, "to be honest I've never really thought about it. My parents were ministers, and their parents before them as well. Though it is not traditional for both parents to be in the same line of profession, it does happen on occasion. Any future mate of mine may have any profession she wishes, in that which a profession is assigned to females. She does not necessarily have to be a minister of any kind."

*Tiffani smiled at his interest in the federation, she also smiled at the thought of him thinking she was beautiful, she wondered if she should reveal the fact she was part betazoid, or the fact that she was married and had a child, but she decided to keep that information to herself for now until he became more curious about her.* well the academy is a place where were civilians who are of age can go to learn what they need to work on a federation vessel or to work in academy headquarters. it's a type of schooling if you know what those are. *she blushed slightly* i mean no disrespect if i offended you in anyway, I do not know much about your world. *she took a sip of her drink* The only way to really understand what the academy is about is to attend. and if your world was to become a part of the United Federation of planets you would be allowed the opportunity to join
*Tiffani paused momentarily as she looked around the room every seemed to be getting along rather well she smiled she begin speaking again once she noticed that all of the victory crew was being well attended to* as for the types of species their are all sorts of species including humans, betazoids, klingons, and a variet of other species, to many to name them all *she laughed* we also have humans who have part klingon or other species in them, but that is more complicated to explain so i'll leave it to the medical staff to explain *she laughed as she took a drink of her water*

"Well, the ministry deals with internal matters such as law enforcement, overseeing the justice system... Things like that which are considered internal matters for our planet. And I in particular have an... observatory role", he said, "I act as a sort of an internal affairs department for the police or law enforcement agencies if you wish"; he said
<Tag Nika>
"And well as for our government, well I think it is no different then your federation one.", he said, "We have the PM and the ministers who carry out the laws which the council of the 100 brings. We also have the council of the ministers who have a right of a veto the decisions which the council of 100 brings. But the veto only holds temporarily as the decision that has been vetoed is sent back to the council of the 100 and if they approve it the second time it becomes valid and the ministers can not veto it again.", he said
"As for the day to day affairs, well the government does not interfere in day to day affairs, we have the bureaucratic agencies which deal with issues such as those and of course regional governors who have direct control of their regions and of course you have city elders who with a council of 25 have direct control of the cities.", he said
<Tag Nika>
--Meanwhile at the main table--
"We do not interfere in internal matters of other worlds", he said, "SO you can rest assured no one will do anything of the sort"; he said
<Tag Alyya>
"Excellent", he said, "Our teams will begin the inspection tomorrow morning at 0900 hours local time", he said
<Tag Alyya>
"And now to inform you where we will begin"; he said
"Cmdr. Rylka"; he called, "Could you inform the minister here where will you team, Cmdr. Johnson, Dr. Kapoor and Ensign Nikaila, begin their survey tomorrow", he said
<Tag Tiffani, Owen, Nikaila>
After Tiffani and her team informed the minister where will they begin it was time for the second team to inform them where will they begin.
"Cmdr. Parker"; he called, "Can you inform the minister where will your team, Lt. Gonto, Ensign Sagara and Lt. Lasooux, begin your survey tomorrow"; he asked
<Tag Sam, Gonto, Sagara>
After all teams informed the PM where they will begin tomorrow they returned to their conversations with the locals.
--Later that night--
"Well I thank you for your hospitality Minister"; Felix said to Alyya, "It was a lovely evening and I’ll be sure to mention in the report how hospitable you and your people are"; he said
<Tag Alyya>
"Well time for us to leave now, if we're planning to have an early start tomorrow"; he said and smiled
After they all shook hands with their acquaintances and friends the crew of the Victory beamed back to their ship to get some rest and prepare for the start of the investigations tomorrow.

“Female positions?” she asked Makaar realising that it was not just engineering positions that were assigned to men. Sam finished her desert and waited for Makaar answer taking another sip of the wine in front of her. She had really enjoyed the meal.
<Makaar>
Felix called her name and she turned to look at him.
"Can you inform the minister where will your team, Lt. Gonto, Ensign Sagara and Lt. Lasooux, begin your survey tomorrow"; he asked.
She thought about it for a second and then knew where she wanted to start off she wanted, the place that she wanted to get out of the way first.
“I would like to visit their prisons, look at how there prisoners are treated and rehabilitated,” she informed Felix.
<Felix>
Then she turned back and continued her conversation with Makaar, deciding to change the subject to the justice system so she could get some more information for her task.
“What can you tell me about your justice system?” she asked him hoping that a minister would know quite a bit about it.
<Makaar>
--------------------------Later that night--------------------------------------
The group materialized in the transported room and Sam turned to the group she had been assigned.
“We will meet here at 0800 tomorrow morning and we will start by visiting an Oneb 3 prison,” she informed them as they stepped down of the transporter pad.
“The aim of this is to find out whether the prisoner are treated well and there is no torture, to look at their rehabilitated and how well it works and see if there are any problems within their prisons,” she continued.

She headed out of the transporter room and back to her quarters. She wanted to check in with Nal to see how the warpcore diagnostic was going but she knew he’d be in bed by now like she should be with such an early start in the morning.
---------------------------Next morning------------------------------------------
Sam had gotten up early to go down to engineering to see how everything was progressing. She had gotten a report of Kimiza Orad about the nightshifts activities, but didn’t get any information on what she really wanted to know about the warp core diagnostic. She searched though the pads that were on her desk and saw there was no report there yet, she hoped that meant there was no problem with the warp core.
Sam decided to leave a message for Nal to produce a report for her and she would look it over when she returned to the ship. She then headed to the transport room and waited for the other crewmembers to arrive.

“Who do you observe for?” Nika asked him. “Is it just a part of a system of checks and balances, to make sure no one is abusing their power, or something else?”
<Tag Rekal>
“What kind of thing does the council of 25 do? Does direct law include coming up with laws? And are the elders simply decided by who is oldest as the name could be seen to suggest, or is more complicated?” Nika asked.
<Tag Rekal>
Nika turned to Cmdr. Rylka. “I would be interested in seeing a historical monument, or museum, if they have one, for scientists and thinkers. It might be nice to see how they treat those who have helped move their society forward, but there’s more than a little of personal interest in such a thing,” Nika admitted to the Commander, not knowing whether or not there ever were such creations on this planet.

"Nothing," Talya said, sounding somewhat sad, "we know nothing of our justice system. As consorts, we stick to our profession, and know nothing about other professions."
"Oh," Travor said. "Well, in that case, I won't press you for anymore information."
They continued talking and eating for a while, when Commander Savali said,"Cmdr. Parker, can you inform the minister where will your team, Lt. Gonto, Ensign Sagara and Lt. Lasooux, begin your survey tomorrow?"
Commander Parker replied, “I would like to visit their prisons, look at how there prisoners are treated and rehabilitated.”
Then diner was finished and the crew beamed back up to the ship. “We will meet here at 0800 tomorrow morning and we will start by visiting an Oneb 3 prison,” she informed them as they stepped down off of the transporter pad.
“The aim of this is to find out whether the prisoner are treated well and there is no torture, to look at their rehabilitated and how well it works and see if there are any problems within their prisons,” she continued.
"Yes ma'am, see you at eight," Travor replied. He left the transporter room and went to his quarters.
"Computer, set the alarm for 0600 tomorrow," Travor instructed the computer. It acknowledged him with a beep. -------------------------------------Next morning----------------------------------------------------
The Alarm was going off for a couple minutes, when Travor told the computer to turn it off. He got up and took a quick shower, got a fresh unifrom, and went to the Mess Hall. He ordered a breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. He half ordered a raktajino to go with it. He got his food and took up an empty seat at one of the tables and ate.
-----------------------------------------1 Hour and 1/2 Later -----------------------------------------
Travor got up and went to the transporter room to wait for the rest of his assigned crew. When they arrived, he said, "Good morning." They then beamed down to the surface for their tour of the prisons.

“Good Morning,” Samantha responded to Travor as he walked in, followed a moment later by Ensign Sagara. Sam turned to the two men who had just arrived. She thought this would be good opportunity to find out what they knew about the justice system while they waited for Lieutenant Lasooux to arrive. She decided to start with what she had discussed with Lieutenant Matheson and was still playing on her mind.
“I found when I was reading up on the justice system, that part of it had been cut out,” she explained, “Did you find that too?”
<Tag Travor and Sagara>
She listened to what they had to say taking it all in. A moment later Lieutenant Lasooux entered the room and the group were finally all here. She wanted to discuss the justice system a bit more with her team, but she knew they didn’t have time and being late wouldn’t make a good impression. She decided that they could have a long briefing together after the tour to discuss everything they had found out both in the prison and from the records.
Sam followed the three other crewmembers onto the transporter pad and then she turned to the transporter chief.
“Energize,” she ordered. They materialized in a dimly lit room. Sam looked around it was very bland not like the hall they were in last night. But she had not expected it to be brightly decorated it was a prison after all. She had never actually visited a prison and hadn’t been looking forward to it, but it was her job and she would get on it with.
A young man in uniform came walking up to them. She assumed he was the one giving the tour and from the uniform she guessed he was a prison officer.

"Yes, female positions," Makaar answered, smiling ever so slightly. He needed to tread carefully now as he assumed that his female would be very insulted if he pressed the matter. "Naturally there are those females who are very talented at something that usually males attend to. It is rare but if a female shows real talent she is allowed to enter a male's position. In return, there are also males talented at things females usually arise into, but these occurances are even more rare. YOu see, it is not just something about being male or female, but it is also genetically ingrained into our culture."
-------- --------- ---------
"I am very sorry, I am not allowed to tell you anything about our justice system. If you really wish to gain this information I suggest you appeal to the prime minister."
_______________________________________________________________
Moraka gaped at her in surprise. "You mean that different species intermate?" he gasped, "oh that is unheard of! Excuse me I must inform the prime minister of this development." Moraka rose from his seat and sped away, leaving the first officer of the USS Victory behind.
________________________________________________________________
"That is good to hear captain," Alyya replied sweetly, "because the consequences would be very dire indeed."
-------- --------- --------
"Very well, I will have the guides waiting for your teams. They will be available for any questions they may have."
-------- --------- --------
--Later that night--
"That is very gracious of you captain," Alyya replied, "I have found the evening rather enjoyable as well. I just hope your crew enjoyed their time here too and I shall meet you again in the morning."
Alyya saw one of her ministers beckon her and she excused herself. "Fair night captain," she said by way of farewell and followed Moraka into one of the adjacent rooms. "What is it?" she asked, noting that the minister was very worried.
"They have half-breeds among them," Moraka gasped, still extremely shocked at hearing it.
"Of course they have!" Alyya retorted, "they are a large community. Once we become members we may be subjected to this as well if we get more visitors, and our citizens visit other worlds."
"But..." Moraka started to protest, "yes ma'am, I understand. But it is still shocking."
"I quite understand Moraka," Allya reassured him, "but it is expectable. Now, you and Makaar make sure that plans for tomorrow are handed in to you so that we can make plans. I will be in my quarters." Behind Moraka, she saw Onyara waiting serenely for her.
"Come with me Onyara, and report your findings. What did you think of this starlfeet captain?"
"He is very nice," Onyara said reluctantly, "he is very protective of his crew, but he treats strangers with respect. He never suspected my second agenda. I will personally guide him through our cities tomorrow."
Alyya nodded in approval and caressed the girl's cheek, where a small bruise had formed where she had been struck in the morning. "Have one of the healers attend to that before you go out," she said mildly, "come with me. You have deserved to be rewarded, you have done well Onyara."
The Prime Minister leaned in and closed her eyes as she kissed her attendant. "You may return any gestures I make," she told the girl when she stood frozen, afraid to make any moves. Once given permission, she returned the kiss with passion.
The next morning, Onyara stood waiting early for the starfleet captain. "Fair morning captain," she said brightly, looking rather flustered as she walked up to Savali. "I assume your teams will arrive shortly. Talya and Remya will guide your teams, Moraka said he is also available for a tour. Makaar is feeling ill and Alyya will join us later today, she is still sleeping." She paused as she waited for the captain to respond. "Have you had your morning meal yet captain? I know a lovely place where they serve very nice....I believe your resources called them pancakes."

A few moments later another person walked into the room, this time it was a woman formally dressed but not in uniform. She walked over to them and the prison officer stood behind her. Her thought changed on who was leading the tour and guessed the prison officer was here for their protection.
She decided that she would start by introducing the team.
“I’m Commander Samantha Parker, chief engineer on the Victory,” she said.
“These are my team members Lieutenant Travor, chief navigator,” she said pointing to the man stood on next to her.
“Ensign Sagara, chief Tactical and Security officer,” she said gesturing to the man on her other side.
“And Lieutenant Lasooux, assistant chief science officer,” she introduced gesturing to the andorian.

*Tiffani frowned as Moraka left suddenly, she hoped she hadn't offended him or his people in some way, it was surely not her intention, none the less she would speak to him about it tomorrow if time permitted. as she was lost in the thought she turned when she heard her name called*
"Cmdr. Rylka"; he called, "Could you inform the minister here where will you team, Cmdr. Johnson, Dr. Kapoor and Ensign Nikaila, begin their survey tomorrow", he said
*Tiffani came to when she heard felix voice again, she had been thinking about the feeling she had been getting from the moment she stepped onto this planet, but none the less she responded to his orders swiftly* My Team would like to check out the medical facilities and possibly explore some musuems if it is permittedd
<Tag Alyya/felix>
Understood. *tiffani smiled and waitied for the rest of the crew to finish up things before they transported back to the ship for a good nights sleep*
----Later on the Victory----
*after the crew had returned to the ship and was getting ready for a good nights sleep, tiffani had returned to her and felix's quarters where she was preparing Amilea for bed, she smiled at her daughter softly and turned on some soft music to help amilea fall asleep, once she was asleep, tiffani went into the living room where felix was busy going over some padd's.*
whats your working on? *Tiffani said as she came up behind him placing her hands on his shoulders leaning over to have a look*
<tag Felix>
Good idea, it's always better to be prepared for anything *She replied as she came around and set next to him on the couch* So tell me, what do you think of the Prime Minister and her people? *Tiffani questioned attempting to see how he felt about them*
<tag Felix>
INdeed they are an interesting bunch *Tiffani thought back to how Moraka had reacted when he found out that humans had interracial mixxes among them, she debated sharing it with felix but decided to wait and share it with him if and when she felt it necessary* Alyya's servernt seems to have taken a liking to you *Tiffani commented in a not so subtle tone, infact it had came out in such a way that it seemed as thou she was jeolous but was not how she intended for it to be*
<tag Felix>
I'm not jeolous, i know it's business *Tiffani commented with a stiff tone* I just, she paused, there's something about her that i just don't trust. Promise me you'll be careful while your on the planet tomorrow. I just have this feeling that they have alternative motives for their politeness. *she leaned in and gave him a kiss* and i just don't want anything to happen to you.
<Tag Felix>
Your right, I think perhaps we should get some good sleep tonight, I'm gonna head to bed as soon as your done join me *she smiled sweetly giving him one last kiss before heading to bed*
----Next Morning----
*Tiffani had gotten up after felix and was quickly getting ready and once she was ready she quickly made her way to the transporter room, where she was the last of the group to arrive* Lets go *she said*
---on the planet---
*Tiffani smiled briefly as allya mentioned the Moraka would be assisting them if so needed* Perhaps Moraka could give us a guide of any of the museumes we have permission to see *Tiffani stated in a matter of fact tone*
