Glen replied to the AI again, =/\= We have tailored our principles of non-interfere with other cultures or their development, so that it applies only to planets that aren’t Warp-capable, but also only to those that have not previously been contaminated by earlier contacts. It simply isn’t feasible to do otherwise. We believed that this planet, experimental planet 19, had been contaminated by the Klingons and so it didn’t apply. Now we find that it was actually seeded by your masters, so it was always interfered with from it’s very creation. While we cannot condone what your masters have done, we can’t turn back the clocks on this, so it is what it is. As for attacking you, we have no grievance with you or any reason that I can think of. The fact that you defeated a fleet of Klingon vessels, and an armada of 23 ships from the Rostar Alliance, is something we can appreciate too. We have no wish to undertaken suicide missions. =/\=

“I am glad that it hasn’t decided to just blow us from orbit.” Salek said his face still showed his concern that just continued to grow.

Glen might have thought that was a joke if it hadn’t come from a Vulcan. “That hasn’t escaped me attention!”

Glen was concerned about this situation with the AI escalating. The AI seemed to be very militant, but it didn’t seem hostile or aggressive to them right now, at least, not yet, and maybe it had good reasons to have destroyed fleets of ships. It certainly had no regrets about doing so, and killing thousands of sentient beings in the fallout. Which was why Glen really wanted to speak to the Ascended, because he thought that they might show a little more emotional intelligence. On the other hand, to place VA stations in charge of the development of 19+ planets didn’t particularly seem to be an idea that had passed very much critical thinking either. While he waited for a decision to me made upon that request, he could only work with what he had…

‘’Captain don’t you find it strange that the Ascended show such keen interest to gather as much information as they can about what its like to be organic, in the hope of their next generation becoming so, when they have little or no regards for other beings ?’’ Cross asked ‘’Don’t take them for fools they have already scanned the whole ship and every crew member ‘’ the doctor advised ‘’About the dilithlum the AI said the Klingons needed it for their ships just as we do ‘’.

“It was once said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” Glen replied. “Without meeting the creators of planet ‘Nytean’ I wouldn’t want to make any assumptions, and their AI may not be running as it was originally designed, but they could be so far removed from corporeal life that they just don’t realise how ironic they are being.”

Glen thought a while longer, then added, “Unless we do meet them, or at least know a little more about them, we don’t even know whether their original corporeal bodies were humanoid. Maybe they are trans-dimensional hyper-being white mice, or symbiotic eels, or giant ants with six limbs and bulbous abdomens, or that they once had two heads, one leg and three arms? Maybe they are like the alien mechanoid species that became V’ger, although you say they did mention being organic? It is still very possible that they never experienced what it was like to be humanoid, or they may have just got bored with being immortal and want to experience and feel what their ancestors once felt again. We simply cannot know.”

Cross replied ‘’Captain from what I understood they want the next generations to became organic ,they had asked me what its like to be one and the only answer I could give is that every thing organic would eventually die but it seem that they are not taking this lightly ,with their research they want to make sure the new organic one’s would have favorable beneficial as regards to one’s health, a suitable quality, standard, or type to meet the required purpose......which I don’t think us Homo-sapiens fall under that category ‘’. she finished off.

While Glen waited for a response to his request for a meeting with the ascended, he spoke again to ask an additional question.

=/\= I have just signed a trade agreement with the Elders on planet 19 and I wish to know if this is still acceptable to your program. We would give them limited medical and agricultural technology in exchange for the 2(5)6 dilithlum 2(:)l diallosilicate 1:9:1 heptoferranide crystals that they mine. While any technology given could be reverse engineered, we would restrict weapons technology to them, and would also not interfere with their social and cultural development. In addition, this sector has recently become the jurisdiction of the United Federation of Planets, and the UFP would have protected them from other threats, such as the Klingons and Rostar Alliance. Would you have any problems with this as I have described? =/\=

OOC: WHOA ok sorry for my delay took an loa on the weekend and got caught up here today. So I need to retcon something MAJOR the CO vanishing no did not happen, so anything up to the Glen’s reply to the AI about the Rostar and such is fine, ALL of that after about him going poof and such? That is null and void, do not consider it to have ever happened. Also I know I was a bit delayed but I would appreciate not jumping to something so jarring of a change. Something like Glen excusing himself to the read room and Cross or such talking in his stead to keep moving is fine, not making the AI do something he couldn’t (its just a comm matrix remember? Also nothing was said up till now about what the Ascended could or not do and this suggestion would have derailed the sim majorly, I have not yet read other threads related to this so consider them if they happened null and void too before this happened. Now then let me reply properly. Since Dave is LOA I’m gonna have him excuse himself to the ready room as I said, and for now Cross or someone else can take over the chatting.....

The AI seemed to consider Glen’s words a moment before replying, =/\= Your choice of non-interference is commendable. To some level it is similar to which our creators before their Ascension did as well in their own ways. This form of non-interference though does not apply to their and this station’s experiments. Though we can understand how without knowing of this planet’s purpose nor of this station you would have acted as you did. These Klingons who attacked us before clearly are not connected to you nor did they inform you of their efforts. As for your trade agreement to the artificially creature natives of Experimental Planet 19, so long as your trade or protections do not interfere or impede the continuation of this station’s purpose and the planet’s purpose they are free to do as they wish for the time being. =/\= The AI stated.

What Cross saw was all too familiar as the Captain left the bridge ,though she knew know one else had any idea.

There then was a pause as if the AI was listening to something within itself. A flicker of what might be considered bright good news came to its face on the screen. =/\= Since Captain Glen has stepped aside in conversing to this matrix, we are needing to inform whoever is taking his place here, that his earlier request to contact and interact with the Ascended has been approved. They will be preparing and sending a diplomatic personage to your vessel in the next 10 minutes. Will their formation and appearance upon the room you currently speak from be preferred or would you wish somewhere else? Say on Planet 19, or elsewhere on your vessel? =/\= It inquired.

GM CockRoach

OOC: Hope I understood,here goes …

This time Cross turned to the Vulcan ‘’Lt where do you suggest ? ‘’ she asked ‘’ To be honest I do not cherish the idea of them being on the bridge or anywhere else on the ship for that matter ‘’ she waited for his answer in anticipation ‘’It suggested on planet 19 ,do you think its an agreeable and favorable idea ?’‘.

Cross CMO.

Salek looked thoughtful. “We could however, given the new knowledge on the bacteria I would rather not go back down to the plannet in case something happens. I agree the bridge would be not ideal either. The place is of some importance however… I believe the best idea would be to treat them as foregn deligates and hold a confrence in the confrence room. If all chief of staffs have been recalled then every DH should be in attendance. Preferably the captain too however the way he walked off the bridge… it may be a while and time may not be on our side.” He said evenly before standing up.
