The newly disguised Commanding Officer entered the conference room and took his seat. He pulled up all available information on the planet and the culture there, and then tapped the comms =/\= Cochrane to Away Team and XO. Meet in the Conference Room in ten minutes for final prep for mission embarkation. =/\=

The sound of his voice had just barely faded when the doors opened and Shedda walked in. She stopped and gave him a once over. “Dr. Hudson does good work. You’re excited.”

Cochrane laughed and said “He does. And yes I am. I was hoping the new face would hide it better.” He looked at the display of the information gleaned from the planet ‘s communications, libraries, and archives. “How similar to Vulcan are these people, Shedda? And do you think my familiarity with Vulcan culture will help us, or muddy the waters so-to-speak?”

“I think maybe I just know you well by now, Captain.” Shedda moved to her chair and sat. “I think that it may help you in observing and getting a base line for what is naturally their culture and what may have been influenced. But even if you are 99% certain something is Vulcan and know what to do, proceed with caution. Sometimes even subtle difference are a big deal.”

Ka’Sora moved into the conference room as the XO was speaking and grinned. She was eager to learn about a new culture and Shedda was absolutely right. “Knowing if there are regional differences might help us explain any oddities in our behaviours,” she said, taking a seat neat to Mal’athar. She didn’t even hesitate given that she was not a member of the senior staff, but at this point her mind was running through all the things they would need to keep in mind. At least she had forgotten to be nervous around the captain.

“The one thing I personally need to know is about the planet. What is its gravity?” It might not matter for the others, but for her it could be the difference between feeling more at home, same-as-usual- and feeling like she was dragging herself through mud.

The planet had similar gravity to Earth, if slightly higher, roughly 1.23_g_.

“All indications show they are very welcoming of those different and forgiving of any social oddness that might cause. Pick a distant location and claim that as your origin and hopefully that covers any differences.” Shedda glanced at her PaDD, “Gravity is 1.23 g’s.”

Cmdr. Mal’athar, XO

Ka’Sora sucked in a breath and her ears pressed closer to her head. For others that might not seem like a huge difference, but for her? She would manage but it was going to take extra effort. Afterwards, well, that was going to be interesting. She would just need to be extra careful.

The XO’s remarks about the locales made it seem like they had quite a bit of info to work with. That was good. At least she could distract herself with the actual exciting part of the away mission.
