After the briefing had finished Magnus made his way to the bridge and asked the crew to contact the Pallasian Government then transfer the contact to his office where the rest of the assembled away team would be waiting for him. Before going there he made a brief stop in his Quarters, quickly change uniform and washed his face. Then he replicated a triple espresso and a regular cup of coffee. He’d hardly had a moment’s respite since arriving here, smiling to himself he thanked his lucky stars. Finally some excitement. Downing the smaller coffee and taking other to go he made his way to his Office. He adjusted his uniform slightly, checked to see if his hair was straight then opened the door “I believe there’s a call waiting” He said to the crew with a friendly smile.

XO

The audio only communications came through. They were using normal radio waves and did not have subspace.

“Starship Genesis, this is Pallas homeworld. How may we be of service?”

GM

David stood to one side of the room, his back leaning against the bulkhead, arms crossed over his chest. At the sound of the audio, he let out a grunt.

“How may you be of service,” He mumbled sarcastically.

-David Michaels, CSO

Reia had found herself standing near David and couldn’t help but notice a bit of contempt in his words. She made no visible acknowledgment, choosing to keep her attention on matters at hand for the moment.

Thomas noted the antique method of communication. At least they would have plenty of time between transmissions to analyze what had been said and plan their next response.

COS

OOC: Apologies, I got sick over the weekend and didn’t post when I meant to.,

Magnus frowned at the Science Officer, making certain that his disapproval was clear before turning his attention back to the console “Well our teams have given their official reports, we will soon be contacting our superiors with our recommendations. But, before that happens I was hoping we might send one last team down, perhaps give us an opportunity to dissuade your public of any ill-meaning behind our presence, I am certain that there are some very frightened people down there who want more answers, perhaps I might be able to answer some of those” The whole time he was talking he smiled as if he were talking with them in person “I also don’t doubt that your leaders would like at least another chance for discussions” He crossed his fingers and waited for the response. He neglected to mention the Federation Diplomatic Corps and the First Contact Office. They were so far away that it would take them weeks if not months to get here and that knowledge might sour any potential meetings. He was also curious to find out what that strange Science officer kept alluding to, it was a dark curiosity but it was still there.

CSO

Riley listened intently to the tone of voice of the Pallasian on the other end of the communication. His empathic abilities were all but non-existent with audio-only communication, but he was well-trained in gaining insight from tonal inflections and word choice. Although, he looked over at Reia, maybe not as well-trained as others in the room.

Dekker, CNS

Reia caught the counselor’s glance and gave a slight nod and smile.
