Astrofori One Launch
Captain's Log, Stardate 239205.09 Predictably, our first efforts weren't as productive as I would have hoped. Our undercover meeting with Commander Saveron's contact at the Romulan Embassy recalled for our benefit a long and amiable if sporadic relationship; the Romulan Empire has apparently prospered thanks to trade with the Va Wreth. Meanwhile, Doctor Skyfire, Counselor Moonsong, and Ensign King discovered that the Community also knows of them, with species memories dating back perhaps beyond the rise of the Menthar. However, we weren't much closer to understanding the Va Wreth themselves, so we set out again -- Skyfire's team to the Tholians, who sponsored the Va Wreth's bid for representation on Astrofori One, and mine to the Peppalexans, who joined the Kubarey -- though not yet openly -- in opposing the Va Wreth's presence. We were still undercover as Romulans, and as the Peppalexans had not yet formally met that species, our meeting was certain to be an interesting one.... |
First Officer's Log, Supplemental (Stardate 239205.10) As Lt. Commander Mei'konda and I walked into the Va Wreth reception, I did my best to put the awkwardness of working with Director Reynolds aside and remain focused on the task at hand: finding any evidence to substantiate the Kubarey's claims against the mysterious species. However, no sooner had we arrived at the reception than the room suffered a momentary power outage. As one of the hosts reassured us to remain calm in the area, I suspected we might not have been the only ones on a clandestine operation that night. Unfortunately, my fears were proved correct… |
Chief Science Officer's Log, Supplemental (Stardate 239205.13) The crew of the Garuda have been assigned to find out the truth behind some rather heinous accusations by the Kubarey against the Va Wreth, a nomadic, trader species. As Starfleet has little knowledge of this race or its culture, it’s up to us to figure out the truth. Assigned to Commander Rahman's team, we elected to take a direct approach, with Dunruss and I personally attending a reception sponsored by the Va Wreth. He surprised me with knowledge and talent in the field of dancing, a skill not necessary to the mission, but interesting nonetheless. Our hostess greeted us warmly and encouraged us to not only sample refreshments but to ask about the variety of items on display - things gathered and traded for by the Va Wreth. Some of their items are common, but beautiful and unique in size and quality. During a tour which the hostess granted us, we found ourselves interrupted by an announcement, and our hostess requested immediate action from another of her kind to find out what was going on. Meanwhile, Dunross and I continued our tour, and I hoped that my standing as a trader, new to the business, might allow me to establish a rapport with the Va Wreth - and hopefully the ability to find out the authenticity behind the Kubarey’s allegations. At least, that was the idea until we received some unexpected and rather unsettling news... |
Chief Medical Officer's Log, Supplemental (Stardate 239205.13) I’d heard that the Tholians were xenophobic and reclusive, and hate being lied to. The Romulan makeup itches like no other itching agent I’ve encountered. I also suspect something happened in Counselor Moonsong’s mind with the loss of the Community representatives and their abilities that may have awoken something in my genetic makeup. She went with me and Lt. Commander Delano to an audience with the Tholians. Gallene is thus far the nicest Tholian I’ve met, and the only. Whether our coming clean about our purpose pays off remains to be seen... |
