H'Raal</strong><br/><strong> Shuttle Bay TO Conference Room </strong><br/><strong>Heading to the Senior Staff Meeting </strong><br/><strong>Tag: Galven &amp; Mara</strong><br/><hr/><br/>The doors at the entrance to the Senior Staff room whisked open, and in came through them was the new Second Officer of the<em>Victoria</em>.  (Well, alright, they were all new, but still.)  "Pardon; one of the Type 9s in Bay 2 was having some computer errors, I was down there to check in on their progress - I came as soon as we were summoned."  Sitting at the table, H'Raal waited as the conversation died down and the Captain introduced their mission - they were here for an observation of an emergent culture.  One that had radio signal capabilities, but whose technology level was otherwise unknown.  Their assignment was to last a single week, and involved learning their tech level, language, and other relevant details.  Including first contact potential.  "Not even out of the gate and already we're having to put ourselves up against the Prime Directive, hm?"<br/><br/>H'Raal was looking at the depiction of the planet, the blue-green sphere displayed no sign of it.  "Captain, maybe it's just the resolution of this scan, but I don't see any sort of noticeable settlements on the planet...then again, this is during the day.  Do we have any planetscapes of the world at night?"  If they had radio, then they likely had electricity or a similar energy source, and that could easily show up given darkness.
