Phoenix stood silently in the transporter room on the Elysium, a box of patches in her hands. She was waiting for her away team to assemble.

Gary stood on the Eclipse transporter, waiting for Toran to show up, knowing the clock was ticking down for them to beam over to the Elysium and then to the planet's surface.

Toran was still adjusting his uniform as he came through the transporter room's entry way. Having just come with the standard uniform and a Sash. While he was accustomed to having a slightly less standard outfit this was fine. "Commander hope I'm more or less on time."

Gary nodded at Toran, "Ambassador" He acknowledged, "Your fine. Though knowing Captain Lalor, I imagine she's biting at the bit waiting on us so we can beam to the planet's surface." Gary tapped his waistband where his cricket phaser was hidden. he had it along with his standard issue phaser on his hip.

The Klingon had himself only brought along the smaller more compact phaser, he wasn't really accustomed to the larger one's anymore. After all many diplomats got nervous if you where armed. "Well, any thing else we need? Or anyone else?"

Gary shook his head, "I don't believe so.Let's not keep Captain Lalor waiting any longer than we already have." He glanced at the transporter tech, "Energize." A moment later Gary and Toran were engulfed in a swirl of rainbow colored lights an instant later they were gone.

Phoenix watched as they appeared. "Ah welcome back home Commander, Ambassador." She said with a smile.

Toran gave the captain the shorted of bows "And good to be home, and see you again Captain."

Gary stepped off the transporter,looking around as he did so. "Captain." He answered with an answering smile. "It's nice to be back."

"We are just waiting for Kaz and the prisoners." Phoenix said "Arri insists we wear these tracking patches." She handed them out.

"That sounds like Arri." Gary answered as he took one of the parches from Phoenix.

Felicity walked in, along with a small security team, and the prisoners. She nodded at the others, and took a patch as it was offered to her. "Captain, apologies for the delay. We had some issues with one of our friends." She said.

Phoenix nodded. "Ok,lets get this started." She waved everyone onto the Transporter padd.

One of the passing prisoners snarled at her as she passed. "We will be free and you will be dead once you beam down."

Toran have a short and clearly dismissive laugh at the comment from the prisoner, patting the D'k tahg clipped to his sash. "If we die, I'll make sure you come with us."

Phoenix turned pulled a heavy chain from around her neck, where it was hidden under her dress whites, undid it, slid the ring off it and onto her right hand. "I highly doubt it." She said coldly.

She joined the rest on the padd. "energize."

They appeared in a large cavern which had clearly been carved by machines and not nature. Phoenix gave the area a quick glance and then her gaze landed on the man and woman who stood 20 meters from their beam in point.

Stepping forward Phoenix moved towards them. "Mr Cardoth. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us." She said with her polite smile to the fore.

The man studied the group as the Erisian Female moved towards him. "Captain Lalor, Commander Taylor." His eyes found the ambassadorial sash on the klingon with the group."Ambassador"

Gary's eyes swept the area for any sign of concealed attackers before his attention turned to Cardoth and the woman beside him. He gave a short, curt nod of his head in acknowledgement before he resumed looking the cavern over.

Felicity observed her security team from her position in the center of the ring. One of the things she'd bought onto the Elysium was a new set of wireless earpieces, which linked to the comms relay in the teams commbadges. This allowed her to communicate covertly with them. "Let's spread out, and keep your eyes peeled, I don't want any unexpected surprises. She then looked around the cave, for anything out of the ordinary.

The woman standing with Cardoth watched the security team spread out in the cavern. "I would request Captain, that your team do not go any further than this cavern without our guidance."

Phoenix glanced at Kaz and inclined her head.

Joras took a moment to greet Phoenix in their native tongue. "Lle naa creosa sinome"

"Diola lle" Phoenix replied. She held out her hand, ignoring any protesting movements from the escorts.

Joras noted the ring, raised an eyebrow. "So that is where it ended up. They say his is fake, to actually know is quite... interesting." He shook her hand, human style.

Phoenix gave a slight shrug. "It is where it belongs." She paused. "As are these" she waved a hand to the miscreants who had 'tried' to steal her ship. "I believe they belong to you?"

"No not really and won't after this debacle." Joras narrowed his gaze at the group.

The leader of the group stiffened. "You.. can't be taking the FEDERATIONS' side in this!"

"YOU STOLE A FEDERATION STARSHIP! YOU BROUGHT THE FEDERATION INTO THIS!" Joras bellowed at her, and Phoenix hid a smirk as the group cowered.

He turned back to Phoenix. "And what does the Federation now want from me?"

He was cleaver. Phoenix knew that. She merely smiled faintly. "Just a small favor."

"Define small Captain." Joras studied her face.

She held out a padd, held by the hand wearing the heavy Heir's ring. "From Starfleet Command."

He took it, handed it to the woman beside him. "I am sure it is an interesting proposal."

"Apparently it is." Phoenix replied calmly. "We will of course be leaving your.... friends here." she looked at Kaz. "Take them over to the wall. And leave them there."

Felicity took the prisoners over to the wall, facing the wall, and walked back over to her team. "Ready when you are Captain.

Phoenix looked at Joras. "Now that you have the offer and your friends, we will if allowable, leave your planet now."

Toran stayed more or less behind the prisoner until he knew they where ready to go. It wasn't that he really thought anything would happen. It was more a point of keeping his word to the man. Finally moving over to stand besides and just behind The captain as they readied to leave.

Joras inclined his head to Phoenix. "Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle" he said in their native tongue.

She returned the gesture with the ritual response "Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha"

The Away team was then beamed away, leaving their prisoners and the man they had come to see behind.
