After it fully resolved, the figure looked at itself for a moment, before taking in the room about it. “..Greetings, I am the representative chosen to speak to you all from those of the Ascended. You may refer to me as Josan in your language of speech. May I know who speaks for those assembled?” Josan inquired, its voice much like its appearance was quite gender neutral in tone, neither feminine nor masculine.

Verity stood from her seat and addressed Josan with a respectful tone, “Greetings, Josan. I am Lieutenant Commander Aphelion, the Executive Officer of this vessel. On behalf of the crew, the assembled group, as well as Captain Glen, the Commander of this ship, I welcome you. We are honored to make contact with the Ascended through you. How may we assist you, and what brings you here to our ship?”

V. Aphelion

Salek took a seat at the conference table at this time as he had stopped his pacing when the light appeared and then went to sit. “I had not had time to brief the others on what has transpired or that you were coming. If given a bit of time, and the opportunity I would like to explain the events that have already transpired and then will turn it over to Lt. Commander Aphelion as our speaker if you do not mind.”

Lt. Salek, CSO

Josan gave a simple nod, “..Such as you wish, this meeting was requested by your Captain Glen. So here I am to discuss whatever you may wish concerning Experimental Planet 19 and its VA station..” Josan said, eventually also taking a seat at the table.

GM CockRoach

McDuff sat quietly and listened closely, taking the whole situation in.

Max was surprised by the energy present. He knew they were “ascended” but did not know what to expect. Even as a engineer, he had never experienced this until now. He was very curious of how this was going to play out but did not want to interrupt as he had not been addressed or asked any questions. So he just sat and observed.

Verity’s eyebrows arched in surprise as Lt. Salek spoke. Her astonishment was evident in her eyes as she turned her attention back to Josan. “Lt. Salek, it’s quite a surprise that you knew Josan would be boarding our ship. This unexpected turn of events intrigues me,” she said, her tone a mixture of curiosity. Also if the Captain knew of the metting we hy wasnt he present. She felt she was in the dark. “But please,” she waved her hand toward the CSO, as she took a seat, “Lieutenant, continue. We’re eager to hear about Experimental Planet 19 and its VA station.”

V. Aphelion

Salek sat for a few minutes seemingly collecting his thoughts before he spoke. “Things happened quickly it was a lot of information passed along, so correct me where wrong.” He paused to draw in a breath. “First of all we knew the Ascended of.... VA was it? Were coming. The captain had asked for an audience with them. His request was approved, however he seems to be having some sort of medical issue so he could not be in attedance. Experimental Planet 19 for future refrence will ne notated as EP19 is a planet where life has come to this plannet under artifical means. It seems these people, or at least their ancestors were a warp capable people. It seems there were conflicts between a few peoples and a series of ships were destroyed in responce to provication. One of which contained a bacterium. The bacteria at first proved deadly to the populice, and then it seemed to mutate to be beneficial to the people, which just ended up adding a stimuli added to the populace.”

He paused for a few moments to allow for an interjection before continuing. “The purpose of the planet as I have been lead to believe is a study of life and how that life can be raised to be optimal levels. We are trying to understand method and motive. The Klingons attacked the matrix and lost… there may be a number of starfleet sanctions broken but we have to consider all facts. I have also been lead to believe that one of the goals is to gain an organic form in which opperates at peak efficentcy.”

Josan sat in the chair quietly, after a pause when no immediate question came forth it said, “..Ah apologies. Among the Ascended in our natural state all thoughts or questions or discourse is shared openly. It is such a habit for so long I have forgotten you must say such to me. So in that case what is it you wished to know about Planet 19 and its VA station to begin with?” it asked.

GM CockRoach

Verity looked at the CSO then leaned forward, intrigued by Josan’s explanation. “Thank you for clarifying. We appreciate your willingness to communicate with us in our manner. We’re particularly interested in the purpose of the VA station. It’s been a point of curiosity and discussion among our crew. Can or are you willing to shed some light on its origins and its current functions?”

V. Aphelion

Saelk let out his breath and nodded. “Everyone was called here so that we all could know and have an open discourse”
Lt. Salek, CSO

Max continued to just listen and observe everything going on. He was still curious about how this ‘ascension’ worked and he was hoping to get some information provided. Having details about the VA station would be good as well. It might be a way to help these poor folks out and make it good for both the planet and Star-fleet to work together. But having an idea of what they know and what they do not know is important. He had not seen any clues of advanced technology from citizens of the planet but he knew the Merrimack was not the first warp capable ship present so there was no breaking of the prime directive at this point. He wondered what else would come from this discussion.
