H'Raal</strong><br/><strong>Conference Room TO Bridge</strong><br/><strong>Leaving the Senior Staff Meeting </strong><br/><strong>Tag: Anyone</strong><br/><hr/><br/>So, it was pretty much the fact that they had been, figuratively speaking, taking a holophoto while atop a shuttle running at maximum impulse while hanging upside down.  "Twenty million at least...and they've already invented radio communications?"  Most Federation species had achieved a population of at least one billion before managing to invent radio wave-based comms.  "Hmm."  But, once again, this was an exceedingly long-range scan.  Hopefully their mission would serve to shed some more light on the particulars of this civilization.  With the meeting concluded, H'Raal stood, straightened his jacket, and proceeded onto the bridge, stopping at the back station's Master Systems Display.  Everything appeared to be in order as H'Raal called up various subsystems, cycling through them.<br/><br/>Moving left to another display, H'Raal set it to display incoming communications data.  The new civilization had demonstrated radio-wave capability; with the<em>Victoria's</em>onboard equipment, decoding those radio transmissions would be a relatively simple affair.  As it stood, most of the senior staff were already on the bridge, as well...so if the Captain needed him to leave to check out another part of the ship, that wouldn't hinder them too much.  After all, a summons was only a commbadge away.
