Commanders Log
Starfleet has assigned me to command a Colony on the outskirts of the Planetery Republic. At first it seemed like I was being 'dropped of the map' but after reading the files on this Planet I have realised that this command may not be as easy as I first thought. There have been reports of civalized Life on the planet but confined to the southan Continent, as we are landing on the northan continant these natvives should not be a problem for the first few weeks here. We are also on the edge of explored space and Starfleet dosn't have a starship spare to guard us, we'll have to depend on our our weapons systems, which are not yet built, so I am a bit apprehensive about this Command.
End Log

Commander Daniel Clark watched out the forward veiwer as the transport ship banked down to the Planet surface. The transport ship was heading for a large vally in a series of hills, and that is were the Colony is based. As Daniel watched the colony came into veiw, basic builindg like the Hub and Consturction yard had been set up sevearal days ago, but the others were in parts on the small fleet of Transport in orbit.

The Transport slowed down and sevearl figures on the ground had cleared and area for the transports to land and were signleing where to land. THe transport landed iwth a slight thud and Daniel headed for the off-loading ramp
A young engneering Ensign greeted Daniel at the ramp:
"Welcome to Sanctuary Colony Commander"
"Thank you Ensign" Daniel said as he looked around
"This way to the hub sir" THe Ensign said.
Daniel nodded and followed the Ensign

OOC: It'd probably help if you were to post what you're after here. Given that you've posted setting up a colony on someone's planet without their permission, you're probably after a conflict of some kind, right? Do you want to be dealing with less advanced 'natives' or the outpost of some vast and scattered space empire that'll crush you with casual ease, or something else entirely?

OOC: THe Natives, are a industrial (Us basicaly in the 18th-19th Century) civiliazation, that my goverment actually spoke with before we just set up camp here, it's more just someone turns up and says hello, but I'm planning more based on this colony

OOC: This will be used to explain disappearances of my two half-tracks on Hera(See Maelstrom RP, NS 2 forums)

The Killjoys were advancing. Lieutenants Rackal and Shamk drove away. These things were 20 times as powerful as the Telmar Fighting Dragons. As they fought, a large hurricane-looking light-force came over the 2 half-tracks, and they disappeared in a flash of light.

The troops in the vehicles stood up, dazed. "What the hell is going on?" said Rackal. The two vehicles were sitting in the middle of a plain, no life in sight.

Shuttlecraft from the Colony, flew over the area around the colony's site. They were flying over area of land when they got strange readings on the ground below...

"We have a potential hostile above us!" a soldier screamed. Everyone hit the deck. The shuttle circled above them.

"Full scan" The SHuttlecraft commander insturcted "Take us lower, raise shields"
The Shuttlcraft raised shields and lowered itself lower

The Mintstar was and old ship. She chugged along when she needed to. But now they were traveling to look for potential colonies.

"Hey there's a ship, it has shields on and it looks as if it is scanning a planet."
"Scan the ship, and contact them."
They turned the life scanner on.
They also turned on the communicator, and made a broadcast on all channels,

"What are your intentions for scanning this planet, and what are your intentions for residing in this galaxy?"

Shuttlecraft

"We're being hailed" A young Lt reported.
"Route it back to the colony, keep an eye on those readings down there

Sanctuary Colony

"Commander, we're receiving a routed hail from a ship in orbit" An ensign at ops reported
"Alirhgt lets hear it" daniel said
"What are your intentions for scanning this planet, and what are your intentions for residing in this galaxy?"
"Interesting, open frequencies" Daniel ordered
"Open sir!"
"Unidentified Vessel, this is Commander Daniel Clark, of the Planetery Republic of the Hawk Colony Sanctuary, Identify yourselves and your presence in Republic space"

"They have responded sir."
"Unidentified Vessel, this is Commander Daniel Clark, of the Planetery Republic of the Hawk Colony Sanctuary, Identify yourselves and your presence in Republic space"
"Should we reply sir?"
"Yes, and make sure you are polite."
"Yes sir."
He broadcasted by the open channel, "We are here to explore these galaxies, and possibly colonize. We did not know this area was inhabited, we are from The Soundgardens, and we would like to welcome your people."

"We are here to explore these galaxies, and possibly colonize. We did not know this area was inhabited, we are from The Soundgardens, and we would like to welcome your people"
"Welcome to the galaxy then" Daniel grinned "If you wish to make contact, your more than welcome to beam a team down to say hello"

He turned on the communicator and received this,

"Welcome to the galaxy then, If you wish to make contact, your more than welcome to beam a team down to say hello"
He replied,
"We will surely do that, we will gather a team of ambassadors to return to this galaxy. We will be back."

He turned off the communicator.

"You there."
"Yes, sir."
"Take us back home."
"Yes, sir."

The ship disappeared into hyperspace.

"Interesting" Daniel commented as the ship warped away, before turning to his XO, LT CMD Will Harris "Get our weapons and colony shields online, In case we get more surpise guests"

OOC: Are you actually planning on coming back?

OOC: Yes, with an ambassador crew.

The ship appeared near the home planet.

"Take us home, and call for an ambassador crew."

In the Soundgarden Planet

"Our boys are back home. They are asking for an ambassador crew, they found other human life I suppose."

"Yes we did." The communicator spat out, "We are coming home, beam an ambassador team on our ship."

"Okay, heard loud and clear."

An ambassador team entered the beaming port.

"Ready to be beamed?"
"Yes," Said the lead ambassador, as they were beamed to the ship.

They appeared on the ship, and the captain said, "Back to hyperspace!"

The ship disappeared...
And reappeared in front of a planet.

"Hello, Battlehawk people, are you still there, we would like to beam a team down."

"We've got transporter co-ordinates ready for you" Daniel replied as he left the hub building heading over to the transpoter centre "Ready when you are"
Desipite friendly intentions, regulation stated that all personnel had a phaser on their belt, and so did Daniel.

"Okay, we are beaming our ambassador team to those coordinates."

"Good luck." He told the ambassador team.
"Thank you." They said.

They disappeared.

The Greeting team, and a discrete security team waited in the Transporter Centre. The Transporter padd buzzed and blue lights flickered as the ambassadors beamed down
"Welcome to Sanctuary Colony, I'm COmmander Daniel Clark, Colony Commander" Daniel said

"Thank you for being friendly to our people, let us talk about establishing an embassy in your planet?"

"OF course" Daniel smiled "Follow me to our Conferenace rooms if you please?"

OOC: Here's the actual link to my FT Embassy thread

OOC: I am making an application.

"I will most certainly do that so we can talk about trade among other things.

"This way" Daniel smiled and began leading the way acrooss the Colony grounds to the conferance building
