Posted by Captain John Tiberius Glen (Captain) in Main Sim - Transporter Room A - Beam down to Alstair Prime
About thifteen minutes after Kord had left the Bridge, Captain Glen arrived in Transporter Room A ready to meet the Landing Party for the beam down to Alstair Prime.

Glen was glad to see the happy face of Lt. BJ Hunnicutt there, standing at the Transporter console. He had thought the Lt. had seemed a little anxious about his new post when they met before leaving the space station, but appeared to have quickly settled right in. There was still another five minutes until Glen had told the Landing Party to assemble so Glen used it to catch up.

“Good Morning, Lieutenant Hunnicutt,” said John Glen. “How are you finding the Merrimack? How are your quarters? Is the cabin as large as you expected? Have you found all the facilities? I also heard that you’ve been showing other new crew around. That’s very thoughtful and kind of you.”

Glen continued, “There will be a party seven to beam down today to Alstair Prime, and I’m quite happy we won’t be using ‘All the Stairs’ eh!” It was a poor joke that Glen immediately regretted saying. In any case, the name was not really pronounced “All-Stairs” but was a more of a musical note when spoken in that sing-song way by the female Alstairians.

Inola arrived soon after the captain, fiddling with her communicator. She had gotten odd looks in the halls as she imitated the musical language of Alistairs, but she had finally mastered the tone changes. “Captain, Lieutenant,” She nodded to each of the men in the room, then smiled. “Ready to speak with the Tri-Council?”
