Negotiations between Starfleet and the Delta Alliance

[Will Karelia]

"No, Mr. Ardwyad, you are definitely correct in your assumption. The former crew of the USS Sequoia has also entered the Net before. I assume you wish them to be purged of their transgression as well?"

[Randall Sanchez]

"Nonsense! It's a RED bathing suit, because red is the color a captain wears, so I'm perfectly in uniform!"
*He glares at the commander.*
"But I don't recall green underwear with pink stripes to be the right uniform color for an executive officer! Let's get on with this ceremony, shall we? Come on, take the glass of Mr. Reeves on your left, he's waiting!"

[Ardwyad]

>-< Ardwyad to VA1 >-<
An energy emission moving with speed at this station, you say? Well, I'd say... have fun with it. You and Proctor are more than capable of handling such a minor threath, and it'll keep you both busy. I will return to the ship as soon as our negotiations are finished here.
>-< Ardwyad out >-<

[Randall Sanchez]

"I believe it is Klingon Opera he's singing."
*Tries to hold back a laugh.*

OFF: ok Ragolis, your turn now, and remember your a D.A. species so you won't have a drunk effect on the Razanis. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Kiatya]

*laughs*, and they thought romulan ale was strong http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Kiatya takes a pinch of salt and places it in Ardwyad's hand.  "The salt for hte bitterness of life." *watches Ardwyad eat the salt while filling the cup with Razanis.

"The Razanis to rejoice the soul."

[Randall Sanchez]

*Shifts uneasily on his seat, when Ardwyad looks at him seriously, as if he had done something terribly wrong, but he had no clue what it could be.*
"I understand your... religious convinctions, Chief Ardwyad. But I don't see how this has anything to do with these negotiations." *Shrugs.* "Surely no disaster has befallen us, so I'm sure they're not angry about anything."

[Will Karelia]

"Indeed, Captain. Chief Ardwyad, I would again like to thank you for your timely intervention on our behalf."

[Vorak]

"Welcome, Mr. Karelia, I assume you wish to join the negotiations as well? And Mr. Koloblicin, thank you for making this location more suitable for our intentions."

[Ragolis]

*Listens to Karelia but keeps scanning his body.*
"Interesting, interesting... Oh, you said? Biological data? Oh, wonderful! By the way, I notice that your species isn't able to breath under water, only in air... not like us. You can't fly either, like the Talonions. Perhaps you're a little bit like the Nygeans."
*Then he sees Daniel Reeves coming in, and immediately heads toward him with his scanning device.*

[Tankalan]

"As you are probably quite familar with this Quadrant is home to very many hostile species, with our alliance we are able to protect ourselves against these hostile species.  But not only that but our Alliance is really the beginning of a greater good for the Delta Quadrant our hope is that perhaps peace will spread throughout the Quadrant, I am quite certain that is very close to what the goals of your Federation is in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants"

[Randall Sanchez]

[Nick Brooks]

*Stops himself from swaying on the spot and prays to god no one saw him*

Boy, thhatt'sssss stronggg ssstuff! Captttain! Aagain?!

[Randall Sanchez]

*Smiles.*
"Hah, where are we going to find a Bajoran to be here at the negotia-- Hmm... Science officer Reeves is a Bajoran, I nearly forgot. This should be interesting."

[Ragolis]

Ragolis had almost spoiled his drink with the unexpected singing of Dalon but luckily he could keep most of the Razanis in his glass.

"Mr Dalon, I advise you to visit me sometime tomorrow it seems that your vocal cords are a bit affected. Singing this high, isn't advisable at this time. Maybe a bit more Razanis would help, on my homeplanet Razanis is also used as Medicin. I will tell you all about it, ow wait I will give you a full report on it. Would you like that, Mr Dalon?"

Ragolis suddenly sees the impression on the Queen's and Ardwyad's face, the impression said enough and Ragolis knew he had to stop.

Ragolis drinks the Razanis and shakes his head
"So refreshing!"

*Then he looks at the person on his left, Dhante, and calmly begins to continue the ceremony by taking some salt from the box and putting it in the hand of Dhante.*
"The salt, for the bitterness of life."
*He calmly waits until Dhante eats the salt, and then fills his glass with the Razanis.*
"The Razanis, to rejoice the soul."
*Then he gives the glass to Dhante.*
"I am the past and the future.  And the future commands. Be my friend for the present."

Dhante accepts the drink, and Ragolis turns back to Dalon.

"Why did you stop lieutenant? You were in such a good form, what brings me to my next subject, songs who were brought by the ancient Naederians. They always made sacrifices to their gods......"

Meanwhile, Dhante was about to drink his glass of Razanis.

[Dhante Tehoral]

*Officer Tehoral arrives in the embassy after finishing docking procedures and sits down in the seat next to where Ragolis was sitting*

Chief Ardwyard, I am sorry for being late.

This certainly is an interesting meeting, these people look so different from us, it is unusual to see new species.

*Behind him a Starfleet walked in pulling his shirt top down to make it fit nicer*

OFF: I got you started Dan
