 The captain of the other vessel announces, "//I am **Guardian [[trek:characters:galeb|Galeb Shi'szor]]** of the Urathi scout ship// Valiant//. You... You're real. You're really real, and you're here. Captain, whatever happens next, please understand we meant no disrespect, and we have been honored to treat your ancestors as if they were our own."// Although confused, Mel nods and replies, "We are on an exploratory mission. We were not looking for you specifically, although we are glad to meet you. You have encountered a Federation ship before?" The captain of the other vessel announces, "//I am **Guardian [[trek:characters:galeb|Galeb Shi'szor]]** of the Urathi scout ship// Valiant//. You...

 Commander Hall leads the group up to deck one and into the conference room, where the rest of the senior staff has gathered to greet their new guests. Before Mel can intervene, Ssleestak bounds up to Galeb, smiles showing all his teeth, and introduces himself as he hands the Urathi a cinnamon bun. Galeb accepts the treat, and then the Starfleet officers discover that the Urathi still retain some characteristics from their aquatic ancestors as he unhinges his jaw, and a very long tongue lashes out to swallow the cinnamon bun whole! He seems to enjoy it, so Ssleestak passes one to Ileeya, who consumes it much the same way. Commander Hall leads the group up to deck one and into the conference room, where the rest of the senior staff has gathered to greet their new guests.

-As they take more of the treats, Galeb starts explaining some of the less savory details about the Tizit occupation of his home world, including the work camps and strip-mining. Fal steps away as too many similarities to the Bajoran occupation come bubbling up. Jessa asks Ileeya if the Urathi species evolved from aquatic life forms; Ileeya nods and replies, "Yes, we did originally. We still retain the ability to breathe water for about thirty minutes, and there is a mutation that strikes roughly one in one million Urathi; these people are born with the ability to breathe water indefinitely." The Starfleet officers swiftly discover another unique physiological quirk of the Urathi; apparently cinnamon is an intoxicant! Mel quietly removes the cinnamon buns, although K'tral keeps a few on hand to feed to Ileeya as she asks questions about Urathi religious practices. Ileeya freely explains that her descendants viewed the Rupture Zone as the Maw and it featured heavily in their religions.+As they take more of the treats, Galeb starts explaining some of the less savory details about the Tizit occupation of his home world, including the work camps and strip-mining.

 On the bridge, **Lieutenant (junior grade) [[trek:characters:virgil|Virgil Thon]]** announces, "Incoming transmission from the Urathi vessel." **Lieutenant [[trek:characters:thentaan|Then'taan]]** nods and Virgil routes the signal to the main viewscreen. Ssleestak and Merek'miir watch as a female Urathi appears and identifies herself as **Executive Officer [[trek:characters:koradi|Koradi]]**. She asks if Guardian Galeb Shi'szor is all right and if the meeting is proceeding smoothly; Ssleestak declines to tell her about the cinnamon intoxication effect. Koradi informs them, //"We have detected a series of subspace ripples approaching. These tend to indicate the inversions that bring these humans from the Roman Empire into reality."//((The //Valiant// didn't detect the first inversion because they were still operating at reduced power.)) On the bridge, **Lieutenant (junior grade) [[trek:characters:virgil|Virgil Thon]]** announces, "Incoming transmission from the Urathi vessel." **Lieutenant [[trek:characters:thentaan|Then'taan]]** nods and Virgil routes the signal to the main viewscreen.

-Lieutenant Then'taan immediately calls for yellow alert, as Koradi sends along modifications their sensor grid to allow them to detect the same ripples. **Lieutenant [[trek:characters:trina|Trina]]** uploads the modifications immediately, much to Ssleestak 's pleasure. The yellow alert immediately switches to red alert as suddenly multiple warp-capable ships, all bearing the Roman eagle, appear surrounding the //Varich// and the //Valiant//! Both ships are targeted by multiple disruptor arrays, and Ssleestak taps his combadge and says, "Captain Deline to the bridge, please."+Lieutenant Then'taan immediately calls for yellow alert, as Koradi sends along modifications their sensor grid to allow them to detect the same ripples. **Lieutenant [[trek:characters:trina|Trina]]** uploads the modifications immediately, much to Ssleestak's pleasure.
