As the away team stepped over the threshold into the Federation embassy, they were greeted by a sparsely decorated lobby, about the size of a small apartment. Nobody was present at the receptionist desk along the back wall. The crew heard the creak of a wooden door, followed by a couple of echoing footsteps from a narrow staircase. Before long, they were face to face with Ambassador Weisbrantz.
“Welcome to Riani!” Jonas said, a practiced smile on his face.
"Thank you for inviting us." replied Brooks giving a smile and looking at the Ambassador closely as they shook hands, before the Ambassador glanced over their shoulder and invited them upstairs.
The ambassador’s office was more decorated than the lobby below, though it was a bit too small for comfort. A stuffy warmth began to accumulate as the away team filed in. Three mismatched chairs sat on either side of a stately wooden desk. Dim light filtered through a grimy window. The ambassador had accumulated many photos, which were displayed on every wall.
Dan was a little bit surprised by the state of their embassy building, which clearly could do with some investment.
“I apologize for calling you all the way out here with very few details, captain. Riani may be along the Federation’s border, but it’s a long way from the culture you’re used to. I’ve seen some encouraging signs in the past couple of years, but it’s fragile. Frankly, I think the Federation tends to forget how progress is made in developing cultures.”
"I don't believe there is a handbook on it yet Ambassador so I am inclined to agree with your assessment." replied Brooks as the ambassador’s smile tensed, deepening the creases around his eyes. Then, his expression grew serious. His eyes still darted around the room, seemingly searching for something.
“In fact, the Federation saw fit to change our approach to Riani. They sent a new ambassador to replace me: Miss Saida Gebrezghi. The problem is that she was meant to check in earlier this week, and nobody has heard from her.”
Captain Brooks listened and couldn't help thinking that this was very odd and why no one on the other end of the change of Ambassadors had flag up they were missing.
"I'm sure my Chief of Security could make some discreet enquiries into your replacements whereabouts, if that is alright with you Ambassador? May I also ask why the Federation decided to change the approach with this world? As you have said there is many factors and it can be fragile." said Brooks looking at the Ambassador with his icy blue eyes.
