MSNPC Ambassador Vananth - Poking the Bear (Tags: Ground Team)

[Jamie LeBlanc]

((Consulate Lobby - Avenda IV))

::Ariwyn Vananth stood tall and proud, with all the majesty of the sixth house of Betazed behind her.  She had experienced much, lived through more than she cared to dwell upon and met more species than she could remember.  To her this was just another day, another set of negotiations and she wanted to get a move on things to make sure they went off without a hitch.::

Vananth: You are not Captain Taybrim. ::She stated plainly::

Fairhug: My apologies, Ambassador. Fleet Captain Taybrim will be here shortly. He and some of our other senior officers are taking a shuttle in order to transport some...necessary items. My name is Gogigobo Fairhug, I am Captain Taybrim’s First Officer.

::She perked a brow.  He was short for a first officer.  Maybe all his people were short.  At least he wasn’t a Ferengi.  He seemed diplomatic enough.

Well, at least they had sent the second in command.  They could have done worse.::

Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

::She let her eyes settled upon the team one by one.  A curious mixture.::

Vananth: You also brought Marines with you.  ::pause:: Why bring officers of war to talks of peace?

Fairhug: I can assure you, Ambassador, First Lieutenant Cain is here as a representative of our crew, not as a soldier - and he’s a fine and trusted officer.

::Her black eyes bored into him and for a moment she was tempted to steal the thoughts from his head to find out the truth behind his curious gaze.  But she didn’t.  For now.::

Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

Vananth: I see.  ::beat:: and when can I expect your Captain?

Fairhug: Captain Taybrim will be here within the hour, Ambassador. I promise.

::He had better be.  She suspected these six were here to testify and keep her safe.  Which was charming but unnecessary.::

Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

Vananth: Then I suppose I will have to wait some more ::And she was oh so pleased about that.:: What are you six able to do in the meantime?

Fairhug: Perhaps it’s best if we meet the other delegations? I’m sure they’ll be pleased to know Captain Taybrim is on his way?

Vananth: Pleased is an unusual term when speaking about people who really would prefer not to talk to one another,  However they are… curious.

::Ariwyn could be diplomatic, this was just a small sample of it.::

Vehk: Meeting with the other delegations would be our honor, Ambassador. It will allow us to bring our Captain and crewmates up to date once they arrive.

::Her gaze fell upon Teryn.  Cardassian.  For a moment her expression went firm and she bit back her revulsion at his species.  It was a young one, perhaps it had an open mind.::

Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

Jarnath: Wonderful. Follow me.

::They started to smoothly walk towards the main area of the consulate when the Starfleet team slowed, checking some readings on their handheld devices.  Ariwyn slowed as well, watching them.::

Vananth: What delays us?  ::She asked plainly.::

Fairhug/Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

::She had to admit, the Cardassian was good at social maneuvering as he gracefully moved the second in command over to talk out of earshot as Jarnath steered the rest of the group around the corner.  Ariwyn hung back, trying to determine what they could be talking about.::

Vehk: Major. ::He held the PADD to his sideways, showing the lack of shuttle check-in, his yellow eyes locked on Gogi’s face. Despite that he kept his stance casual, as if he was asking the Major to sign off on some standard concern.::

Fairhug: ?

Vehk: I will keep you updated, Major.

Vananth: Is something wrong? ::She asked of the two lingering in the back.::

Jarnath/Fairhug/Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq: ?

::Her black eyes flickered towards the jolly administrator and bit back the urge to tell him to shut up.::

Vananth: I would like to know if something has occurred to jeopardize these negotiations.

Jarnath/Fairhug/Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq/Vehk: ?

::That was the moment that the second in command got a commline call from his ship.  He moved off to speak privately.  Ariwyn gave a huff as they waited at a comfortable intersection.

She hated waiting.  She hated being bored.  So she decided to poke a bear.::

Vananth: ::Looking towards Teryn:: I was unaware Starfleet was allowing Cardassians in its ranks.  Curious.

Jarnath/Cain/Williams/Matrix/Poq/Vehk: ?

::She offered a tight lipped, humorless smile.::

Vananth: Well, your friends seem to enjoy you.  Though I don’t think everyone on Avenda will feel the same. ::She offered towards Teryn in specific and the rest of the gathered officers in general.::
