"Ensign Powl," he nodded to Tactical, "coordinate with Lieutenant Ra'an. Based on your research, prepare a tactical overview of the Veld-Taveres system to accompany her cultural brief. Nothing alarming, just situational awareness for the senior staff." He added, his tone underscoring the importance of the next point, "Furthermore, your department will be responsible for handling all formal communications with the authorities on Veld and Taveres. Transmit our progress, planned route, and final ETA. Ensure you have the correct diplomatic contact protocols and channels on file."
"Aye, sir." Hearing his orders, he looked over at Lieutenant Ra'an briefly to catch her nodding at him and he returned the gesture.
It appears we have a great deal to discuss.
Powl immediately began researching the proper protocols for their situation. Naturally, there had already been a great deal of precedent dealing with the progression of diplomatic discussion, negotiation, and communication. However, each situation had its own idiosyncratic differences and therefore should be checked before the application of such knowledge. A single detail missed could mean the difference in a successful treaty; or it may turn to all out war.
"Lieutenant Krandal, please transmit your current progress and flight plan in a continuous stream for my readouts. I will be monitoring those from hear and providing routine prescribed updates to the receiving parties in the Veld-Taveres planets."
Powl had already finished his research on the tactical potential obstacles that they may encounter. Fortunately, it did not seem that either parties had the capability of disrupting the Zephyr as their technology seemed far less advanced than that of even a very old Federation vessel.
"Commander, prior to your orders I had already conducted research into the capabilities of both Veld and Taveres. Neither of those civilizations have any technology from a tactical standpoint that can contend with Federation technology. Even as mature as the Zephyr is, our technology dwarfs theirs. We would not be concerned with anything that they could produce.
While that is all true, we shall maintain our vigilance to ensure the safe operations of the summit between these planets. I will have a brief prepared for you and Commander Keir shortly. Once complete, you will receive the notification on your PADD."
Lieutenant Ra'an took a moment to stop by his station.
"Where would you like to begin on the cultural aspect of our brief?"
"Aye, sir." Hearing his orders, he looked over at Lieutenant Ra'an briefly to catch her nodding at him and he returned the gesture.
