Dysart looked at Baumann. “May I?” He shifted his attention to Dal. “Ik nam-tor svi’ wuh hali leaving nash ek’kal?“ (Who is in the ship leaving this sphere?) “Mokuhlek du var-tor etek its lof?” (Can you tell us its purpose?)

Rachel simply watched the aliens with great curiosity. There was nothing specific she could tell from just looking at them but she continuously made mental notes regarding their appearance.

Dal pointed to a horizontal line of ‘chairs’, appearing to fuss a little that there may not be enough for everyone. Others of his tribe moved others to be in a flattened triangle. Dal sat in the middle of one of the other lines of the triangle, and another two, older by the look of them, sat across on the other. “This is Guz and Ten,” he said, by way of introduction, then, used a word that loosely translated as ‘elder’.

At that time he addressed the question, even as bowls of some kind of grey, leathery looking ‘fruit?’ was placed on the table. Once they were all settled, those three and awaited the others in the away team, did they reply. It appeared some formality was required. At a nod, Dal replied, though looked at a loss. “We know .. not of this that you speak. What is outside? Beside yourself.” It was clear that they had no idea what that other vessel was. As formal they wished to be in this meeting, there was evident confusion of what the question was.

“Tell him about the Federation and who we are, Dysart. Tell him that we heard their distress call and came to help.” While Dysart was doing that she looked toward Baumann. “Let the Captain know that they do not know who the identity of the ship.” T’Leia was feeling like an orchestra conductor giving instructions to various members of the team. She felt an almost unVulcan like sense of impatience having to work this way and with Dal’s people insistence on formality but reminded herself that their mission was to meet new species.
“Ensign Locke, please scan the food that they are offering us to be sure that it is safe for us to eat.”

Commander T’Leia

Baumann turned from the assembly and said into the comms [O] Baumann to Captain. The individuals here have no inclination as to the nature of the vessel. They seem to be unaware of anything outside their sphere… including us. They are asking what is ‘outside’ besides us. [O]

Baumann, AC

Approaching Dal and the others, Alan started to speak. “S’udish nam-tor wuh ret mesakh nash ek’kal. Nam-tor etek wuh wuh’rak sutra s’ s’udish tor sarlah? etek puzhu-tor wuh flakosh vutau. Etwel travek, wuh Teraya tor wuh terkadaya t’ wehk koshtri na’ wuh lof t’ exploration. Lu etek puzhu-tor wuh flakosh vutau, etek kupi ri bau-tor ish-veh.” (Outside is the space beyond this sphere. Are we the first people from outside to come? We heard a distress call. Our group, the Federation is a cooperation of many species for the purpose of exploration. When we heard the distress call, we could not ignore it.) He looked back at T’Leia nervously. The fact that he was responsible for communicating first contact was setting in.

Returning to the three in front of him, Alan continued. “I, heh danik t’ etwel hali-sutra nam-tor komihn. Sarlah etek s’ wuh panu puvutau terra. Wuh leader t’ etwel landing travek heh ein vath nam-tor Vuhlkansu. S’ wuh panu k’ wuh ka ahm. Etek, bi’ k’ vath koshtri, ma shidau etwel exploratory halitra tor ragel-tor sutra heh gla-tor shitau previously undiscovered tor etek. Mau spo’ nash.” (I, and most of our crew are Human. We come from a world called Earth. The leader of our landing group and some others are Vulcan. From a world by the same name. We, along with other species, have formed our exploratory fleet to meet people and see places previously undiscovered to us. Much like this.)

“U’ i tar-tor fa’, etek puzhu-tor wuh flakosh vutau. Sarlah etek tor gol’nev. U’ mau u’ etwel skrol tor tor explore, ish-veh tor tor tor contact k’, heh gol’nev vath ha’kiv. Etek dungi nufai whatever mamuk etek mokuhlek.” (As I said before, we heard a distress call. We came to help. As much as our mission is to explore, it is to make contact with, and help other life. We will offer whatever aid we can.)

Ari tapped her chair comm, [O] Roger, Baumann… see how quick we can figure this out and give whatever aid they need. Something tells me whatever is out here isn’t happy with us. [O]
