It's Always Sunny in the Delta Quadrant (Amity): Difference between revisions

Ambassador Vataix assembled her team of senior staff for a meeting <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/1oaCX0yzqrI/m/9wxJ19bzAAAJ Ambassador Rivi Vataix: It's Always Sunny in the Delta Quadrant (Part 2)]</ref> to discuss and weigh in on the possible options to resolve the seemingly volatile First Contact situation.

In an act of defiance for their unfair and potentially unlawful lack of preparation time or defence the officers showed up to their tribunal <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/tqugWGp6NfQ/m/JxQGQ41ZAQAJ Lt. Cmdr Robin Hopper: Holy PAAK]</ref> without their communication instruments, resulting in an uproar from the court and the Magistrate charging Commander Ukinix with contempt of court and interning him for the remainder of the tribunal hearings, leaving Lt. Commander Hopper alone to weather the storm where she learned an alarming fact about the Paak's Warp Tests they had investigated - they never happened.  

Lt. Commander Hopper, on the other hand, was met by Delegate Pai'Lak of the Paak Diplomatic Delegation in whom she could find an ally in and exchange information with for a better understanding, eventually admitting to the presence of her fellow Starfleet Officers and their arrival prompting the science officer to share some information on the ins and outs of Starfleet. This was unfortunately short-lived as moments later Richards, Veers and Kiani were imprisoned alongside Robin for 'cultural misunderstandings.' <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/PlNOqXtLyO0/m/49Ks-SCLBAAJ <nowiki>[End Act 2] Lt. Cmdr Robin Hopper: Divine Contravention</nowiki>]</ref>

The vessel returned to Paak airspace before the crew of the Independence-B opened communications following a disagreement <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/63FcGrYTwmU/m/_uhtP_fJEQAJ <nowiki>[Act 2] Ensign Harrison Blackwood - Desperate measures</nowiki>]</ref> between Lt. Commander John Carter and Chief of Staff Keehani Ukinix. The negotiations were short and caused a great deal of suspicion on the unknown vessel which was claiming to belong to the native species on the planet below. The crew were onto something as once the verbal pushing began the crew onboard the bridge were transported to another planet of existence!  

The bridge crew aboard the Independence-B awoke to a Fantastical Recreation of the Reconciliation Forums of Betazed <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/PpMTKAGoy80/m/KyMtpmAPJwAJ <nowiki>[ACT 3] Watcher Naminae: A Thorough Examination of Amity</nowiki>]</ref> where they were greeted by interpretations of [[Naminae Vataix]] and [[Sky Blake]], who referred to each other as 'Watchers'. Held against their will the bridge crew were subjected to the examination of these Watchers who deemed them contradictory to their statements. Questioned individually one by one it was later deemed the crew's contradictions unsolved but not to be judged and they were returned to their ship.

Meanwhile on the planet's surface the tribunal <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/6w8ZsnlUQDs/m/Xpq7vFrqAAAJ <nowiki>[MISSION FINALE] Ambassador Rivi Vataix: Authentic Friendship Shines</nowiki>]</ref> had gone ahead with both the prosecution and defence arguing fiercely over what was to be done with the Starfleet Officers and their Ambassador. All officers were cleared of charges with the exception of Ambassador Vataix who was sentenced to a standard one cycle course for non-military Paak, meanwhile both Commander Ukinix and Lieutenant Iko were sentenced to twenty cycles of entry level training for any citizens that join the Paak Military.
