He handed each an PADD with information on its screen. "Here are the details of your quarters, as well as the security which has been arranged for you and a map of the complex.  Each door is encoded to recognize a retinal scan as provided for us by your governments.  A proposed schedule for your next few days is also logged onto your PADD.  I have suggested a meeting tomorrow at 1300 local time.  Each of your security teams have been pre-briefed as to the location of your quarters, so they might take you there directly. Information on amenities and local recreation is available on the terminal within those quarters.  While you are staying with us, you are of course welcome to take advantage of all recreational areas; we only ask you remain out of restricted areas, which have been clearly marked.  Your security is also aware of those locations.  If you have any problems, please contact the receptionist at the Venasian Annex, Jerna A'amon."   "Do you have any questions, or concerns?" Golan Dulath stepped forward to speak for the group.  "It would seem that you and your government has anticipated our needs quite well.  I would like to know if we have access to the communications networks so we will be able to communicate with our governments?" Valtris was pleased to hear the question.  She, too, had concerns that they would be considered as prisoners rather than  governmental representatives. "Of course, Ambassador.  All public communications networks are accessible through the terminal in your rooms.  We are linked to the Pacifican grids which are available to the general public.  I apologize, but as this facility is relatively new, we have not yet established secure links suitable for ambassadoral delegations.  If you require an encoded channel, there are two options.  The Venasian annex has secure channels available for your use, and the local communications port outside the compound also has encoded channels for your use."   -S
