The copper orb crackled to life.  An authoritarian face smiled into view.  “Well done, Ambassador T’Sinde.  For successfully completing the first level, you will receive food and drink as refreshment, some time to rest, and some bonuses consisting of a weapon, armor, and 16 strips of gold pressed latinum.”

 

 “Your generous offer of money I must refuse, with my apologies.  Good terms with the United Federation of Planets are earned through mutual trust, understanding, honor, friendship, things of value that extend far beyond the material.  As for weapons or armor, my mission is a peaceful one, therefore I again respectfully decline.  Food, drink, and rest sound most welcome—moreso if accepting them involves meeting First Citizen Jakurat in person.”  Without turning her glance from the orb, T’Sinde could hear security guards nearby setting down what she assumed were meant to be her bonus prizes in neat piles.

 

The face in the orb continued its agenda. “Are you ready for the next level?”   

 

“Am I guaranteed a meeting with First Citizen Jakurat on the next level?”

 

The copper orb went dark …

 

************************************************************************

 

… And now came this greeting,  “Good day Ambassador T’Sinde I am Captain Magnusson of the USS Cygnus, it is an honour to meet you!”

 

“The honour is mine, Captain Magnusson.  I look forward to getting to know you and your crew better, as I have not yet had the opportunity to get to know First Citizen Jakurat.”

 

T’Sinde briefly explained her situation to the Captain.  She did have the liberty to come and go as she pleased, and in fact had beamed aboard a merchant vessel in the area for a change of scenery while waiting for the Cygnus to arrive … But she had neither set foot outside on the planet’s surface, nor seen Jakurat.

Well I for one appreciate your efforts Ambassador... this culture is a little... unusual!

(I find the best place to take in the wide panorama around me, then using my tri-corder, I take a perch and begin to monitor the others) (keep an eye on everyone, something here does not feel right) (I'm just not sure what it is yet) So, (speaking to myself) I will meditate for awhile and see what happens.

(As I start to take the hand of the luminescent life form it begins to dawn on me that thus far everything ive seen are most likely some kind of advanced bio mechanical technology thats far beyond our own technologies)!

Before I go with you (Odo's guards watch every move) I must ask you first because we are not familiar with your race or culture, are you the original inhabitants of this beautiful planet?

luminescent figure: Oh my! Goodness no Odo! I am mearly a servant. I was created here just as everything you see around you!

Intersting! Then my second question is, can you introduce me to Citizen Jakurat?

Luminescent figure: Yes Odo, thats why I'm here. He has been studying you and he's fascinated with your biological structure! You are a most curious study! Now if you will follow me, i'll take you to him!

(I watch as Odo begins to follow the orb, and stealthily follow from the shadows. Just in case)

Odo to Captain Magnusson...I'm being taken to meet Citizen Jakurat! Some kind of advanced droid is taking me and two of my guards to his location! I'm sending you my cordinance now.

Understood Commander, it seems you have been chosen!  Keep me appraised.

 

Magnusson to Shran, keep a discreet distance please. Observe only... for now.

(In my peripheral vision I could see that Shran was following us.  We were all being very careful not to alarm these people as visits by outsiders were very rare.  The interiors of these rooms and halls are all to impressive and strangely the locals around us are going about there business as if we aren't even here.  Finally we reach an amazing hall with giant pillars.  It somewhat reminds me of Earths ancient Rome but a much more modern version).

 

The Being:  Now if you and your friends, YES, AND YOU HIDING BEHIND THAT PILLAR!  (Shran comes out and joines us totally surprised that he was seen)  and I will be back with Citizen Jakurat!

(stepping into view with a somewhat surprised look on my face) So much for stealth huh? Looks like I need some more training sessions. (steps up next to Odo)

Kind of glad your here old friend.  I can just imagine what this Citizen Jakurat is going to look like.  Guards, you can stand down.  You might as well being that you no longer have weapons (chuckles)!

"Kurkura to Cygnus, my comm is back on-line.  As per orders, I am still walking and looking.  No real contact with the inhabitants.  If they sense or detect me, it is no worries to them.  No biological or mechanical traces, but there is something or someone, always at the edge of my vision."
