He listened as the man spoke about the Kessok outpost, his positronic matrix quickly pulling up the information he knew of them, including some of the data his predecessor had entered into his starlogs when the species had been first encountered. It was Data who had done some of the initial translation work on their language, though the logs showed that it hadn't quite been entirely accurate given how quickly it had to be done.<br/><br/>It was curious atht he Kessoks and Klingons were fueding - these days it was more unusual than in the past for the Klingons to be starting wars with people, so perhaps it was some misunderstanding, either way, it could prove interesting, and it was quite important for them to get there before things broke out into actual war. Jade asked some pertinent questions and then went silent, something fairly unusual for her.<br/><br/>"The Kessok are a very curious species," Arik mused, half to himself, "Silicon based, an extremely rare thing to encounter, making them very different from nearly every other species we've interacted with. Our Diplomatic members will have their work cut out for them."<br/><br/>"It looks like we have our new orders," he said, glancing around the room, "Are there any other questions for Captain Hernandez before we get underway?"
