“We have no choice to split up… I just want more data is all.”

Morganna made a few notes about the possible location “Would you have heard anything about strangers arriving at one of these stations?” She asked

“We have trading ships that are familiar to us,” said Gum, when Maya looked to him to provide the answer. “We are generally not very familiar with their crew. They change quite a bit. You could say that we do not care too much about individual strangers. We pay more attention to ships that are strangers in this parts.”

Maya added, “Once your ship is accepted as a guest, no one can claim that you are unwelcome. I cannot vouch for those who have … shall we say … a less than sterling experience with Starfleet or the Federation, to be friendly. However, they can still protest to the authorities, that is, the council of which I am the presider, of your entry, but they would be transgressing the rules if they turn hostile and threaten you.”

Morganna nodded and looked at Rivar and waited for additional questions or orders, she liked Kate’s idea of splitting up. She wasn’t sure if they were actually going to find who they were looking for. She also did not feel that it would be wise for her to join any of the away teams, but would be available for consultation.

“While we are here… turnabout is fair play and all… our teams can aid some of these people if they need any help. Our goal is to find these terrorists but I don’t want the Federation to get a reputation of just taking and leaving… humanitry aid is a large part of what we strive for. If our help isn’t wanted that’s fine, but if we can help I am willing to offer it… if asked.”

“Captain,” said Maya, “I am sure that the council welcomes the aid you offer, especially if it is to aid our residents improve our lives. I believe the village councils have been doing a good job of keeping the peace. We’re not as disciplined as the armed forces in the various systems but I’d like to believe that though rough at the edges, we still are decent people. I will return then, if there isn’t any other thing, to discuss, to make the necessary announcements to the people regarding your visit.”

Nodding Calin stood up as he nodded to Lieutenant O’Neil. “The Chief here can escort you, I will get with our teams and get to you when we have more details,” Calin said as he looked over at Morganna. He knew he needed her to stay to go over some information from all that happened.

“If you would follow me,” Kate gesture to the door, “I can get you back to the transporter room.” She doubted they would be any trouble but one never knew.

Maya and Gum stood up. “Thank you, Captain,” said Maya, “we’ll be taking our leave.” Gum nodded as respectfully as a Ferengi can. The two followed the COS to the door.

GM

As the duo left Morganna looked at Rivar and waited for him to ask her the questions he had on his mind. She had some concerns about the entire situation.
