The Governor smiled again, “..Of course Captain! We’re happy to extend our colony’s events to your crew Captain. Though I would ask if by tomorrow morning you and your ship and crew would check up on some nearby system activity we picked up on long range scans. We only have a handful of long range warp capable vessels in our possession but none really I would want to send into potential danger.” he said, sliding over a PADD.

Once the Captain would pick it up he would see some scans outlining some various energy patterns, “..We believe those energy pattern bursts were indicative of weapons fire of some kind. The system is unclaimed, and only be briefly scanned a few years back by probes from Starfleet. Our own regional probes we sent out two days ago when we picked these up ran into an undetected ion storm and were thrown off course and disabled. Its not a big loss, we’ve already recovered the probes and can fix them, but I’m concerned about the readings, and would feel safer having you check up on it for us?” he asked.

Becket sat there wondering to himself. “Very well, we can check on this once R&R is completed here. It’s not like we’ve been in things any rougher than that.” He would say to the governor. “However, we were sent here to rest up a bit and being down your supplies. But I can contact Starfleet about this system you are giving me and get authorization from Command to do so.” He added.

The Captian would recall part of his mission packet for coming here was once delivery was done he was free to assist the colony as needed and do a near system patrol/survey until Starfleet gave further orders otherwise.

Soral had no personal requirement for rest and recreation; such measures were unnecessary for maintaining his own efficiency. However, he was not operating in isolation. The crew’s well-being was a contributing factor to overall mission effectiveness, and ignoring that variable would be illogical.

He would have preferred to begin a systematic survey of the surrounding star system. However, he assessed that such a proposal would receive limited support under the current circumstances. The needs of the many, in this instance, favored reprieve over productivity.

He remained silent.

Cross frowned as he listened. “No communication signals? Just energy signatures?” He asked.

The governor shook his head again, “..No Ms Cross, nothing at all. Part of that is due to the ion storm, and our limited longer range sensors here at the colony, part of your delivery was giving us palettes for our sensor platforms that would increase the range. That will take some time to install, even if you helped. We would all feel safer if the Ark Angel took a look to find out what they were or are one way or another.” he replied.

Cross nodded, “Totally understandable.” He said in response.

He looked at the governor and he would sigh. “Governor. If it’s possible. I can take my senior staff and head back to the ship once everything is unloaded. Leave a few junior officers here to help set everything up and hoping everything will work out better that way.” He would say to the governor. As captain Becket had thought it over for a bit after the governor was saying everything.

Just as he was about to reply to the Captain his personal comm device run, “..Sorry Captain one moment, its my wife..” he said picking it up and putting it on privacy mode putting it to his ear. “..Yes honey?” he asked.

Soral waited for the Governor to respond, the Captain had compromised on what he originally said which should make the Governor happy

Becket sat there awaiting the response of the Governor as to see if he is willing to allow that arrangement.

A back and forth conversation that seemed pretty mundane for a husband and wife occurred, “..Yes honey, I am meeting with the Captain of the Ark Angel right now can this wait?” there was a pause, “..No I did not say that, look just tell me…” he seemed to get interrupted, another pause, “..Yes, fine, we can wear that to the BBQ tonight, really this..” again an interruption, “..No dear! I didn’t imply that, just…” yet again an interruption. Then a long pause, and then heavy sigh and an apologetic look from the governor to the crew, “..Yes dear, yes dear. Ok dear, yes, I will see you tonight, love you bye..” then he hit a button on it and removed it from his ear.

Taking his seat again he put on a smile, “..Sorry about that Captain, bliss of family and marriage..” he said. “..In either case you don’t need to leave anyone behind, we can handle the setups and such. For now let’s just enjoy the BBQ through tonight and tomorrow morning you can head out..” he said.
