>Just then the familiar whistle of a Starfleet intercom opening
sounded. It was probably unfamiliar to most of >the Council delegates,
but it did get there attention all the same. "This is Captain Annan to the
Council >delegation. We have just entered the Cardassian system.
We should be in orbit around Cardassia Prime in >about 40 minutes.
Would you like to come up to the Bridge as we contact Central Command."
>T'Kresh moved over to the comm unit next to the door and pressed the
area indicated to log onto the >communication system. "Captain Annan,
this is Plantoc Ra'aj. We shall be on the Bridge in a few
>moments. Please accept our sincere thanks in regards to your
invitation."
>"Understood, Madam Chair. We look forward to your presence.
Annan out."
>T'Kresh turned back to the rest of her team. "It would seem that
it is time," she said as she ran her light >blue hands over her dress to
straighten out any wrinkles that might have formed in transit.
"Yes Plantoc."
>Thanks to the honor guard waiting outside the conference room they had
been using, it did not take long for >the ambassadorial group to arrive on
the Bridge. They found a wiry African male sitting in the Captain's
>seat. His sparkling eyes and smile wrinkles around his mouth indicated
a warm and friendly nature. He >stood as he heard the doors shush open
an close as the Council members shifted onto the Bridge.
>"Ambassadors on the Bridge!" he announced sharply and the officers
on the Bridge stood and saluted before >returning to their consoles. He
made his way over to the group and extended a hand, which was >accompanied by
a smile that just seemed to belong, to the Plantoc. "My apologies for not
being able to >greet you when you first arrived aboard. We have been
trying to make all due speed to get you and your >team to Cardassia Prime
quickly."
>"We understand, Captain. We appreciate your taking time out of
what must be a busy schedule to shuttle a >group of diplomats on this
mission."
>"It has been my pleasure," he replied. He glanced over to the
rest of the group. "I would like to welcome all >of you to the
Bridge." Annan extended a hand indicating that they were free to move to
the center of the >Bridge. "We are ready to open a line to Central
Command if you are."
Watson moved so he'd be slightly behind and to the side of the Plantoc as
they communicated.
