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.

Thomas grabbed a beverage and a small plate of nibbles, gravitating towards a Beltran in the most gaudily-accented uniform.

The man in the uniform watched as Thomas slowly made his way around the room. If this had been the first delegation, he would not have been able to tell one person from the other. Since this was the fourth delegation, General Trell Lago knew the uniforms and color designations of the departments. The man approaching him was from the security division. Within that division, Trell had no idea what was his specialty. Closing the distance between them, he spoke with a voice that was surprisingly deeper than most of the other Beltrans but still not as close to the huskier tones of a human male. His size was close to that of the Kings.

Reaching McGregor he spoke. “Hello. I am General Trell Lago of the Beltran Army. I see from your shirt color you are with the security forces.”

Thomas had unfortunately picked that moment to take a bite of whatever passed for hors d’oeuvres, and while he was not by any means a diplomat, he knew better than to try and talk with his mouth full. So instead he gave a polite nod to the General while dying of embarrassment inside.

Magnus had avoided going with the Captain to converse with the King and found himself almost entirely by accident joining McGregor, the Captain could handle the delicate politicking for a few moments whilst he found ways to waste time “Ahh General” the Icelander said with a smile “This is the leader of our Security Forces, Lieutenant Commander McGregor” He introduced the Security chief only as a way to take part of the conversation.

The General looked at Magnus and nodded. “May I assume you are the Captain’s executive officer.” Lago had no real proof but there had been three delegations of these over eager puppies nipping at all their heels during the process of induction into the Federation. The way this new man carried himself and his rank indicated he held power within this teams command structure. “Do you have a name?”

Magnus hadn’t really been paying attention so when the General posed his question he was in the midst of taking a sip from the glass of what he presumed to be their version of bubbly wine.

Thomas took this opportunity to return the XO’s favor, not that his mouth was empty.

“He’s Commander Magnús Pétursson, General,” Thomas said. “Apologies for not answering you earlier, I had my mouth full.”

COS

Magnus inclined his head politely to the General and used the movement to smile thankfully to the Security Chief “Executive Officer of the Genesis” He finished the introduction.
