SD: 80414.1000<br> | |||
Scene: Visitors Compound, Furjen<br> | |||
MD: 5.0800<br> | |||
"Captain's log Stardate 80414.0800... | |||
...I am happy to record that as of 0700, this day, the Planet | |||
Furjen, upon due consideration of the planetary government in conjunction | |||
with Commissioner Corino Thessa, representative of the United Federation | |||
of Planets has been accepted as the newest member in the Federation." | |||
Zane hit pause on the recorder as he reached over for his | |||
coffee. It was a cool morning and he watched the steam rise from the | |||
contents of the black mug. Inhaling the aroma he smiled. This was by | |||
far the best coffee had ever had. The smile grew as he relished in the | |||
fact the President had promised to make a substantial supply of it | |||
available for transport to the FEYNMAN once it returned from Manark V. | |||
There'd be enough for six months and now that Furjen was a Federation | |||
member it would be relatively easy to acquire. He made a mental note to | |||
talk to his friend who ran the cafe on EPSILON to add this to his | |||
specialty brew list. | |||
After a few more sips he placed the mug on the table beside him | |||
and let his head sink into the cushion. Closing his he thought about how | |||
much nicer it was to plan out his quest for the perfect cup of coffee | |||
rather than trying to determine what was driving an enigmatic | |||
commissioner or why a Federation ally would try to divert their runabout. | |||
<nowiki>*Maybe when I retire I'll open a little coffee shop out on the frontier. | |||
Somewhere where it is scarce and they can appreciate it.*</nowiki> | |||
He opened his eyes and frowned as he heard he click of boots | |||
coming down the hall. So much for his quiet morning to reflect. Picking | |||
the PADD up of his lap he placed it on the table next to the coffee. The | |||
log could wait. | |||
"Good morning captain." Jenn smiled. | |||
"Good morning Krysa, Bat. Commissioner wasn't it my | |||
understanding that the Furjen authorities had confined you to a holding | |||
area until the FEYNMAN returns?" Zane asked clearly not happy to see the | |||
Commissioner. He had done the right thing but that still did not excuse | |||
the abuses of power leading up to that point. The Commissioner had | |||
broken the law and would have to pay the penalty. | |||
"To be honest captain I don't know how I was allowed to go free. | |||
Bat arrived this morning and told me I was under his 'protective' custody." | |||
Zane looked over at a smiling Bat, he should have known better. | |||
"It just takes a little charm. You know, smile here, compliment there." | |||
"I see. What do you have planned?" | |||
"Well we decided we should spend Cori's last few hours of freedom | |||
taking in the local culture" | |||
"Very well, just remember that I am holding you personally | |||
responsible for the Commissioner. The second the FEYNMAN returns I want | |||
him beamed aboard and confined to his quarters. Is that clear?" He | |||
didn't dare ask how Bat, a civilian, had managed to get custody of the | |||
Commissioner. It was probably something better left untouched. | |||
"Crystal sir." Bat replied. With his trade mark half-salute he | |||
turned and the two older men left across the compound. | |||
"So what's are FCO up to this fine morning?" | |||
Jenn laughed. "He burst in the cadet's room at 0500 and berated | |||
them for sleeping. Somehow he talked the government into allowing him | |||
access to one of their airbases and the use of several training craft. | |||
Right now he's putting them through their paces and they're probably | |||
hoping his engine falls out." | |||
"Well I guess that leaves just us. Well your the expert on the | |||
Furjen tourist scene, would you care to indulge your Captain in a little | |||
sightseeing?" | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Well it looks like things are wrapping up....I've left enough time for | |||
those of you on the FEYNMAN to continue/finish any threads on Manark V | |||
before you head on over and pick us up for the return trip to EPSILON. | |||
Congrats to the BrOT participants! | |||
Max: Stern but fair.;) | |||
