“Hmm…” Mwezi thought for a moment. “Computer, reprogram our physicalities to those of Raka, and place us in the city of Ba’slu,” he spoke, and the environment around them seemed to shimmer for a moment before the sunshine was replaced by muted green light and they appeared between massive trees, on a bridge made of woven tree branches.

“Hmm, fascinating.” Stovik said as he took a few moments to look around and study the jungle like area they were now in. It was so unlike his own home planet that he found the effects mesmerizing. Fortunately it was just a simulation as well so what would have been heavy, humid, jungle air did not cause him discomfort. He studied their immediate surroundings closer wondering if the bridge led to habitats in the branches.

Mwezi began to walk along the bridge, his form lithe and small like the rest of them. He was fairly used to the idea of experiencing the form of another creature with this technology, but understood that for the Federation officers it might take a little getting used to. The computer scanned their minds and took in impulses of wanting to move forward as a real body did, and one didn’t have to think about moving their legs, but it still took some mental getting used to.

He stepped up to a door and opened it. “This is the library, if you wish to see some artwork,” he suggested.

“Otherwise, we could see a different environment, or we could return to the dining hall,” he spoke.

Mwezi

“I would be very interested in seeing your artwork,” The Captain said.” I would also be very interested in learning more about your various peoples. Their individual society and political makeup.” It was not hard for Stovik to figure out how to move in this situation. Vulcan’s had natural psi ability and his was high. So for him to think in a ‘psi’ like body was not hard.

Chris was not psi so his first few steps were a bit awkward. “I to would love to see your artwork and know more about you all and everyone else. It looks like a bunch of individual tribes but come together as one force like the Great Sioux Indian tribe of the Earth’s past.” He said as he was walking into the room.

Mwezi nodded, and the five of them proceeded into the virtual library. “The Mind Chamber is used as entertainment for individuals, but it has also been deeply integrated into our educational systems. With the Mind Chamber, we are able to fine tune and individualize learning programs for every child which is unique to their learning style. Not many schools have integrated this technology, and it is generally only used for a few afternoons a month in those which do use it, but as far as I have heard, results have been positive,” he said with a grin.

They walked through the door, and before them was a magnificent space. They were at the edge of a vast vertical cavern, all of the walls lined with books upon books, with a massive vertical column in the middle, blocking the view of the other side. There were walkways carved out of the natural wood, windows that let in the faint light from the green under-canopy, and thousands of glowing spots which must be some sort of light source, although what was causing the light wasn’t clear. Mwezi led them to the edge of the outer walkway, then glanced back. “If you want to glance through a book or two, you can, although I’m not actually sure if you will be able to read what is inside,” he chuckled.

Surprisingly, the contents of the books were actually quite legible. Whatever tech was allowing the federation officers to understand the Galdori that Kula was speaking did the same for the text.

Mwezi

“In all oddities, it is perfectly legible, Mwezi.” If She could have expressed surprise, it would have been written all over her features. Although, nothing beyond the simplicity of consideration shone behind that Vulcan facade, one she hadn’t yet the reason to stray from. “Does your people possess a type universal translator, which allows us to understand the text on these pages?” It was the only explanation she could accurately place, judging by the legibility of the words before her, allowing her to comprehend its text and, if chosen to read, perhaps decipher a possible meaning.

“I do not intend to sound rude, in any way. It is simply a curious question,” She added, sifting through the book, as to figure out what ‘secrets’ the pages do dutifully held.

Raising his brow in curiosity, Stovik too walked over to a shelf and studied the spines of the books. He was looking more for the subjects and topics of the books to see where the interests lay.
