MSPNPC Ta'an Zinera - (Correction) No promises

[Jess]

((OOC: Forgot to include the brief update for the ground team, it's in there now :) )) 

((Bridge - Fenix Ignus - Rigar Nebula))

Ta'an closed the line and looked to the Captain. 

Ta'an: They made contact as well to the teams of the ... ::They looked at the name of the ship again:: ...Constitution's crew. They have agreed to leave the planet. 

N'bel: ::Nodding slowly in understanding:: Good, Status on our ground teams? 

Ta'an: Avoo'na-letket'ra Petryr stated that they and Jin’Tauri Noram are escorting the team they encountered to their ship unless you have different orders. 

N'bel: Have them contact the ship once their "guests" have departed. We need to know if their mission has been compromised in any other way.

Ta'an: I'll let them know. ::The console beeped and Ta'an looked at the console with a quizzacle look in their eyes.:: We received another message from the Constitution.

N'bel: ::Looks back with curiosity:: And what do they say? 

Ta'an: The Captain informed us that they have issues with communications, scanners, shields, tractor beams... ::they furrowed their brows.:: Either they are stupid or trust that we don't attack them. 

N'bel: No, they aren't stupid my kin, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Are they asking for anything?

Ta'an: She is asking for help. Since our systems seem to not have as much of a problem. 

That was simple enough to do.  They had this other ship on the back foot and he doubted they would try anymore foolishness at this point. He recalled a quote from the teachings of Zinera When a worthy foe is defeated, it is honorable to provide help. thus turning an enemy into an ally.

N'bel:  We shall grant them help.

Ta'an was not sure if that was a good idea, but they had made clear that they were suspicious of these Starfleet people. If the Captain wanted to take that risk it was his perogative of course. But they would make sure to say 'told you so' if that backfired.

N'bel: ::starts issuing orders the crew:: Helm, bring us into a matching orbit with that ship. Engineering, muster a repair party and be prepared to provide assistance. ::Looks to Ta'an:: Can we get a clean signal through to them? I wish to talk with their captain.

They checked the signal strength and nodded slightly. 

Ta'an: With their removal of the chrondite layer it should be a clearer connection. 

N'bel: Excellent Ta'an, proceed.

The Zintara opened a channel on the other ship's frequency and the screen changed to the bridge of the other ship, the red haired woman with the bright skin and spots around her face looked at them with a smile. The image was clearer than the first attempt. Ta'an squinted slightly. Something with her eyes was strange. One of them looked a bit different from the other, but they had no idea why.

N'bel: =\/= I am Captain N'bel Vulikan Zinera of the Kameryan ship Fenix Ignus. Are you the captain? =\/= 

Ta'an leaned against the console when they listened to the conversation. It was friendly and the excuse why they were in this Nebula at this Planet was reasonable but it may be their suspicious nature of a warrior that made them feel like it was too convenient, too friendly and they were too helpful. They took a deep breath when N'bel kept adding on how they could help each other and Ta'an couldn't help but think it was a bad idea. Maybe they'd turn out to be wrong, but someone had to be careful here. 

While they talked the ship was called and so Ta'an spoke quietly in the background. 

Jin’Tauri: =\/= Ta'an, we have escorted our visitors back to their shuttle ship. =\/=

Ta'an: =\/= Heard. I will contact you in a few moments with new orders. =\/=

Before long the channel closed and N'bel leaned back in his chair, Ta'an had the feeling he was rather pleased with himself. 

N'bel: There, you see? Not so bad as we thought eh?

Ta'an: I don't know kin. They are too nice, too generous, too helpful, too... everything. It's like they are compensating for something. We still should be watchful that they aren't suddenly turning around and bury a knife in our chest. 

The captain stood and stretched before walking towards the exit. Ta'an's head turned to follow him with their gaze. 

N'bel: Hah! Always with you there must be something more my kin! ::stops at the exit:: And that is why You are so good at your job. And, with some more tempering, you will forge your own captaincy one day.

Hearing the words from their superior meant a lot, after all doing a good job was part of their pride. 

Ta'an: Havila, kin. I will continue to do my best. 

((OOC: Havila: Kameryan for "Thank you"/"Gratitude" )) 

N'bel: I am going to seek refreshment, then start preparing a report for our leaders. You have the bridge until I return Ta'an, try not to blow anything up while I am gone eh?

Ta'an: I make no promises. 

When N'bel laughed Ta'an smiled slightly. They did not foresee that there would be much reason to blow something up, but one never knew. This other ship could still start trouble after all. Once the Captain as gone they opened a channel to the teams again. 

Ta'an: =\/= Fenix Ignus to ground teams. N'bel talked with the strangers. They will send people to help with research down there, it looks like they have Scientists and Doctors who might be able to help. Let the others know and make good use of it.  =\/=

Kameryans on ground: Response if you want

((OOC: Ending it here so feel free to respond and write what they'll do before we fade to black :) ))
