Nick: You won't believe some of the things that are out there. our sentient friends you thought where pets can be a good example to start with...
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

Krystal: We may carry big sticks, but the Federation is not in the business of starting conflicts. Starfleet's primary focus is Science and Exploration.
(seriously...what is it about him that makes people think he's some kind of pet? how many pets do you know that wander around dressed in clothing/armor and carry a small arsenal around on their being?)
*alex slowly looks over at vestian* you're weird...i've seen how humans treat pets too, and i would never tolerate that kind of humiliation - it's bad enough when i had children come up to to me and try to pet me in the past, but i had to deal with that; i couldn't just growl at them and scare them off, as i was trying to make a good impression on the worlds i visited
anyway *he walks up and hands the guards a pair of metallic cylindrical objects, a bandoleer of grenades, several knives pulled from various parts of his armor and a small blaster before following the group inside, listening to the chatter for a bit before piping up* and the lythari imperium may operate by a different creed - namely, Si vis pacem, para bellum which translates from an old human language as 'If you desire peace, prepare for war' - but even we don't start wars first...it's easier to rally your people when you've been attacked first

Krystal: I'd rather avoid giving Ambassador Troi any more work, not to mention another "meet and greet" with local LEOs. Guess the timing just worked out.
Nick: For my first away mission in thirty years, things have been.... interesting...

PM: As you can see our planet is in trouble. Many of the citizenry have no hope, jobs are stag ant, wages are stagnant, our climate is ruined, and our political system is stagnant. I want to change that. I would like to ask help from out cousin to rectify some of our problem. With solutions, help while keeping our sovereignty. I would like solutions to help alleviate our immediate problem, and not cuase more problems in the future.

Kuumaarke: While the war between us was devestating, Minister, Kentari was still liveable for a large part fo the planet. It need work, yes, and we did some of that, bet we found the old homeworld. It was a world choked by toxins, toxins not unlike the one you are producing here.

Krystal: Minister... Is it that hard to believe that there are people out there who are actually who they say they are? I understand that the Kentari and Lukari have always been on shaky ground, but to accuse them of destroying a planet? Everything I've seen of their tech and their demeanor says the exact opposite of what you claim.
The humans have a saying: Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. It sounds to me like the Prime Minister here is willing to try something new rather than stay the course and hope for the best.
Minister... is it really in the best interests of your world to turn away people who could not only help... but be a potential ally and trade partner?
Nick: I agree with my friends here... one world has been destroyed, and another is on the verge of meeting the same fate. instead of packing up and leaving, just to have the cycle start again, you can take a stand here... and we can help as much as you will let us...
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

*while everyone else is conversing, alex extends his mind outward towards ministers tulemaan and pentaaro, hoping to pick up on any thoughts they may be broadcasting - though he stops short of actually penetrating either of their minds, as he hasn't obtained permission to do so and would never invade the mind of another without permission...or sufficient cause to need to do so*
(i really don't use this often enough...it'll be interesting to see if he actually picks up on any broadcast thoughts, since as far as i'm aware, kentari aren't telepathic nor are they resistant to it like ferengi are - and it'll be even MORE interesting when ambassador troi shows up and does the same thing if they prove receptive...remember that one TNG episode where she casually foiled an assassination attempt by an alien delegation by pointing out one of the delegates had explosives embedded in its clothing?)

Krystal: *swears* Go to Red Alert. Prepare to engage the Tzenkethi as soon as I'm back on board.
*Looks at the Prime Minister*
Sorry to cut this short, but bad guys are gonna do bad things and I gotta try and stop that from happening.
Nick: *talking through his commbadge* Lieutenant Shashka, beam me and Lieutenant Victoria right to the bridge, we are going to be at red alert upon arrival. charge weapons at once. Let's go. *Briana and Nick beam up to the Tepes*

Nick: Tell me your excuses later, scan that thing! *nick points to the dreadnaught on screen as the officer gets to work*
Science officer: As you say, sir. *The science officer starts a scan on the tzenkethi ship*
Nick: Lieutenant Victoria, Raise shields, are weapons charged?
Briana: Yes, captain. we are at red alert
Nick: Good, Helm, get ready to engage, Lieutenant Victoria, have cannons ready and load Torpedoes, aft and foward
