Mission: Trills and Thrills
Location: Bridge of the USS Victory, above Trill

The Ship had dropped out of Warp at Trill. The Sovereign Class Starship was a little out of place in the orbit of the Fedeartion Member World as the lanes of Starships were coming and going.

"Take us towards the Planet." Elijah said to Helm as he sat in his Chair. "Contact Orbital Control and inform them that we are entering a standard orbit."

"Establishing communications connection." Valeria mentioned from her new position at the Ops console.

"I'll admit I haven't been to Trill in a while forgot how busy it was." The Captain said as he noted the large amounts of local traffic.

"Well the Science Academy is always a popular spot as is the symbiosis commission." Elliot responded from the Aft of the Bridge. "Plus they've recently opened up a few new embassies."

"I've never stepped foot on this world. What's it like?" the rabbitess responded. "Climate wise, as well as gravity. I'd rather not have a repeat of my first visit to Dalacar." she mentioned. "Note to the wise, their gravitic compensators are incredibly precise."

"It's a lot like Earth for the most part." Elliot responded to Valeria. "M Class with multiple oceans and continents, mountain ranges and a climate that ranges from Arctic zones to deserts and rainforests."

"1.1 standard Gs," Jaton said, turning from his station. "Not too different from Earth standard. Our main base of operations will be the Science Academy in Tresh, which has a tropical climate. Somewhat akin to Singapore and Malaysia on Earth. And we're just in time too! The Za'tine Festival will be starting in a few days."

Hel made a face. "Will I have to go down there? Better get some industrial strength sun screen replicated. Asphodelians and sunny weather don't mix."

"Might not be a bad idea. The Za'tine Festival is the ten days between the two Lahaina noons in Tresh, when the noontime sun is directly overhead."

"Those words do certainly sound lovely." Valeria smirked, "Though the prospect of two moons does strike a familiar chord in my heart." To Hel, though, she turned and gave a soft smile, "I'm certain the night life is fantastic."

To Valeria she smiled. "Only one way to find out." Then to Jaton she gave a nod. "It does sound very pretty. I'm actually looking forward to it. Is it close to where you're from?"

Valeria shook her head, "The light from Ts'usu's star might have reached Trill by now." she stated with a smirk.

"Tresh is actually my hometown. But I think you misunderstand me. The moons play no part in the Za'tine Festival. After all, there are places on Earth that experience Lahaina noon. It's just that in Tresh, we're so close to the northern tropic line that the Lahaina noon days occur within a couple days of each other."

Valeria realized her mistake, and then gave a nod. "Noons. Not Moons. Forgive me, I did indeed misunderstand."

Alejandro stood at his station making sure that all aspects of ending this journey would be smooth as silk. No tactical or strategic problems were going to happen on his watch. He scanned all entry and exit aspects, all firing arcs, all scanning frequencies and all real time data. If anything or anyone wanted to take on this ship, he'd make sure they would not walk away in one piece.
"All contingencies covered El Capitan, all is quiet on every sector," He stated with a solid and authoritarian voice, "Awaiting any orders sir".

"Easy, Lieutenant," Bertrand, former CTO cautioned. "We are in friendly UFP space, by invitation. Let's keep weapons cool and shields down unless we are actually fired on. We don't want anyone to think we are expecting trouble."

"Alright Away Teams to assemble in Transporter Room 3." Elijah said. "Team 1 will head to the Science Academy, Team 2 will head to the Security Sector and our XO has been requested to speak to the senior investigator."

"Roger that," Bertrand rose quickly to his feet moving off the bridge. "Remember everyone that this is a covert surveillance. Watch and remember, then report back. No heroics, and no diplomatic incidents. We don't want to tip our hand early."

"Alec, Ziyal you'll lead the first team." Elijah commented. "Valeria, Jaton you have the science team and Alejandro you'll go with them as will Hel." The Captain looked at his new Ops Officer. "Seamus you're going to stay onboard the ship an run things from here whilst Keller and I head to the surface to meet the Trill officials."

“Aye sir,” Jaton said. He pushed away from his console and headed for the turbolift. “Mr Ehrhardt, take over year please.”

"Sir." Hel gave a nod, then turned and followed Jaton out.

Seamus nodded. "Understood, sir."

Valeria gave a nod at the call to action, "Sir." and the rabbitess followed Jaton out, closely behind Hel as they left as a group.
