Once some of the away team had left, the current Mayor of the colony, though still below the Council leaders was still present with the XO and those who had not yet choosen what to do to help the colony out. “..I must say I’m quite sorry for the actions of Sir Franklin, he is a bit.....well pardon my language but an asshole.” She said with a mild blush despite her age, “..but his family did found the original colonial effrots of our ships to a planet nearer to Earth before we got lost out here, and then when we were forced to settle here they gave a sense of order and because of their larger store of supplies allowed us to survive and thrive. I am sure by now you all have realized we have something of a....caste structure. It may be old fashioned perhaps in this day and age but before we knew others were out this far it provided the safety and order the colony needed..” she said leaving unsaid the ‘we had no other choice’ part.

Naana bit her lip. It was necessary in the running of a successful government or military organisation that there are people higher up who can make the final decisions but the notion that some people’s voices could be ignored because they were in some elite group did not sit well with her.

”..In either case I think your staff if they want to make any impressions on the colony for good will should find a way to help out as I said before like your others went to do. Anyone who isnt, or you Lieutenant Commander Glindorsh could come with me for a small tour I suppose of the colony primary areas if you want?” she asked.

“That would be fine. If we are going to work together it only makes sense to see how you operate things around here.”

Nodding Carolina turned, leading the group down the semi-brick lined street. A few folks waved to the mayor or spoke with respect in passing to which she returned it, most though ignored the away team, not hostile or hating on them, just not feeling it worth to give them the time for notice. Moving down two blocks along the way the team could see shops hacking different types of hand crafted wares or food from wooden buildings. A cafe like joint called ‘Tom’s Shack’ seemed quite popular, the armoa of some kind of coffee would make even those hating it mouth’s water.

”..Ahh seems Tom is hard at work on one of his famous brews. His coffee is a mix of old stock from the convoy that lead us here, mixed with a local herbal blend that on its own makes a divine tasting tea. Throw it in with quality coffee beans or at least freeze dried packs and its got a punch that’ll keep you going for hours. Our one doctor says its properties are filling enough that in a pinch if needed it’d supply a good bit of a daily douse of vitamens, minerals, and proteins..” she said.

“Indeed,” Naana replied, sniffing the air as if trying to taste the coffee through the smell while looking around. “I imagine ending up on the wrong planet can’t have been easy for everyone. Its good that you were able to make use of what vegetation was lying around.”
