Once the crew had ascended the stairs, they were ushered into a large ballroom-like space. The magnificence and luxury of the palace could not be overstated. The large room had ample places to sit, stand, or relax with numerous nooks and balconies for those looking to seek some quiet conversations. Wait staff circulated the room with cultural dishes, hors d’oeuvres, and drinks. Soft music filled the room along with the murmur of conversations that mingled into a static white noise filling the space containing over one hundred other Beltrans. The event had been labeled a formal dinner with the officials of Beltran. Instead, it reminded one more of a massive wedding reception. It was clear by the way the King immediately moved into the space, he expected the crew to socialize among his people at least in the short term. It could also been seen as a way to find out some of the information they sought by talking to the people of Beltran.

Reia knew she would get pretty much everywhere in this shindig that she needed to be eventually. Now, she wanted to meet with some of the people that might actually have information about this fascinating amazing shield technology that Starfleet was low-key interested in. So, she made her way into the glorious room and looked around for somebody interesting and a beverage.

Dagen didn’t move far from the body of the fleet people. He frowned as he looked around. He did want to talk to someone related to what they’ve done and what’s going on on the planet but everyone looked like tall mannequins with no name tag in sight or their ‘color coding’ to at least tell who was fluff and who was, well, to use an ancient term from earth, a nerd. The sights and smells and sounds of the party had shifted from the flashy lights of the outside to something high society. High glitter ratios that outclassed anything he had ever experienced. It was a barrage to his sensibilities. Dagen liked parties. He was gregarious and enjoyed people. But there was a limit and this party exceeded that on the meter by a wide margin. In short, he didn’t like this. He felt like a guppy being thrown into a pond with other larger, well established fish who may or may not want to eat him.

“Hello,” a woman said coming up behind Reia. “You do not have a drink and you look like you are searching for something. May I be of some help?” There was no reason for this woman to come up to Reia except curiosity. This was the fourth group of Federation officers to come to Beltran. She was not in the typical colors of the science personnel which seemed to be blue but Della did not know the ranks well enough to be sure her assumption was correct.

Dagen was startled with the woman speaking. His attention was on the food being circulated. He should have asked the marine what was good. Turning about he looked up to the woman who had addressed not him but Reia. He had questions but he would let Reia tackle the girl talk; of that she was so much better.

Reia smiled up, and up some more at the woman bowed slightly and nodded.

“Oh yes most definitely. Whatever passes for ice water here and I definitely am interested in speaking with someone regarding everything we’re here to discuss I suppose. I’m very curious about the whole situation. Can you tell me anybody here I might have a quiet word with? So pleased to meet you, please, call me Reia.”

“We are in the castle. Why would you want to settle for anything as mundane as water?” The woman giggled and signaled for drinks enough for Reia and her companion.” Almost before the gesture was given a woman on the wait staff brought a glistening gold and jewel-studded tray with three glasses that looked so delicate a tight grip would shatter them. The way the woman handed the glasses to Reia and then Dagen showed they were far stronger. The liquid inside looked and would taste like champagne when they sipped it.

“I am in the scientific department. I am not sure about what situation you are curious about but I will try my best to help you figure it out. My supervisor has scheduled a visitation of our science labs for your engineers and scientists. I think you will find it exciting.”
