Mission: Diplomatic Masquerade
Location: Bridge

Savar was in the center seat as the Liberty gracefully approached Orias III. "Captain we are approaching the Orias III, The planet filing their viewscreen as it rotated below them.


" Very good Commander, on my way" Captain Kaylen Rhenora sucked in a breath and put down the padd she had been working on. They had decent intel on all parties involved in the upcoming meetings, however scant information had been uncovered relating to the natives on the planet soon to be circling below them.

A moment later she emerged, ever the image of confidence and authority that she tried ever so hard to project. She nodded to her XO as he yielded the command chair and moved to left hand one.

" Ops, signal our approach to the planet and to any vessels in the vacinity. Helm, take a low orbit over the mountain region in the northern hemisphere." She ordered, watching the viewscreen image change as their trajectory shifted.

As she approached the center seat, Savar slid out gracefully allowing her to sit down. "No other ships in the vicinity at this time Captain." Savar reported.

"Great, we get to assume a protective position without an argument" Rhenora replied with a smile, the Liberty achieving said orbit without a hitch. When Maccet's warship were to arrive that Liberty would already be in position. A much stronger tactical position.

Rhenora took in the desolate planet before them, wondering how anyone could call this wasteland home?

"Tactical, scan the surface and see if you can locate any that could indicate a native population, particularly a subterranean one. Ops - try and hail them - all standard channels and frequencies"

There was a moment of silence as the officers worked their consoles.

" Nothing on comm channels" Ops replied after a few minutes.

" I am having trouble penetrating the ore deposits in this region" Tactical followed a moment later.

" No wonder Maccet wants to mine here. You can't trace any lifesigns under the surface so they can conveniently disappear" Rhenora retorted with a healthy dose of sarcasm in her voice.

" Continue your efforts" She ordered as she settled in to wait out the results. Maccet would no doubt be here soon and the games would begin.
