[ It's a little too late to adhere to that whole non-interference clause of the Prime Directive, being the subject of an alien-napping and all, so here is Spock in all his pointy-eared glory. Looking as straight-faced as possible. Unlike Kirk, he didn't part from their meeting and then drink himself under a table, he stayed up all night watching network conversations and Sciencing. It would be illogical to... wallow, and he refuses to acknowledge that he even has the urge. ] ... Fascinating.

[ For such ancient technology, this thing appears remarkably serviceable. ] Greetings. I am Commander Spock, of the United Federation of Planets. If I understand correctly, then you are my fellow... detainees. [ There, that's politic enough. ] I would like to request information on what is being done with the crashed satellite debris. In return, I may be of some assistance in constructing something useful from it, as I am familiar with this level of technology.

In addition, any information on the turtle itself would be appreciated; the scans I have taken of the creature only tell me so much, and the indigenous people seem... disinclined to reply to my queries.

[ Aaaand he'll just give a sharp nod and the Vulcan Salute on his way out. ]

Detainees is a bit of a nice way to say prisoners. Dunno about you, but I didn't ask to wander into a "state between life, death, and dreaming" or how however they tried to dress it up.

[A pause.]

Also new here, still catching up on the news around the city... er turtle. What's this about a crashed satellite?

Detainment implies that it was involuntary. [ But no, it's definitely not a nearly strong enough word for getting space-napped. ]

The damage that you may see to several of the buildings across the sectors was caused by debris from the satellite. Apparently, it is particularly advanced.

Dunno if I'm convinced it was.

[She leans closer to the screen.]

That explains the state of this place. Any idea where it came from?

[selfsacrificing]

Not yet. [ He's determined to change that, though. ] I hope to investigate further, personally.

[parallels]

I hope you find something. Would definitely love to not be so in the dark about this place.

[A pause and then she asks what she really wants to ask.]

United Federation of Planets. Never ran into them in all my time in space. What's it do?

[selfsacrificing]

[ Spock nods curtly to the first part. He's definitely willing to share. ] The primary objectives of the Federation are scientific exploration and peacekeeping.
