Cyndi had read the report from Rivers on her flyover and grid scan. To way the outpost intrigued her was an understatement. Right now however it was time to beam down and meet Razor and discuss setting up trade negations. Tapping her com-badge "Lieutenant Nix meet me in transporter room one, I'm beaming down."

"On my way Commodore" Nix replied as she grabbed a few essential items and her special phaser "Where we off to" she heard Dunjen say I think we're going to the Plant's surface as protection for Cyndi."

The Lieutenant JG walked into the Transporter Room and greeted Cyndi "Commodore off to Planet side I assume" Nix stated with a grin.

Cyndi nodded as she double checked the charge on her phaser before slipping it back into her pocket and stepped onto the transporter pad "It is, we're going to meet a man who goes by the name of Razor." Looking at the transporter chief "Beam us down to the main part of the outpost."

"Understood sir," came the reply

{McKinley Outpost}

The Commodore and Lieutenant JG materialized on the surface as Nix's training kicked in surveying the immediate area looking for any apparent threats...she found none "Dunjen let me know if you sense anything" she thought "Will do but nothing seems off yet" he responded. Looking at Cyndi "So where's this Razor guy we're supposed to meet?"

"There," Cyndi said pointing as the man walked up to them "Razor it's good to meet you in person,"

Razor looked them over carefully before responding "I agree, so what brings you here?" Razor asked "And who is this you brought along?"

"My officers feel I'm safer with security, this is Nix, and the reason my ship is here is to open trade negations with you," Cyndi said.

Nix instinctively looked this gentleman over from head to toe looking for any warning signs of deception. Nix smiled and gave Razor a nod while still scanning the immediate vicinity.

Razor nodded "You do hold the rank of commodore which makes you a flag officer so I understand your safety comes first. Let me assure you this outpost is safe and your in no danger. There is a lot here to do trading with."

Nix remained silent as she was there as protection for Cyndi and knew very little about commerce; but she did keep a sharp eye out just in case.

"I'd like my officers and crew to come here, look at the outpost and report back to me, that is if your open to trade negations with the Federation," Cyndi said

"I'm open to that, will you be handling the negations?" Razor asked

"I'll have the final say but my assistant science chief is also well qualified to handle negations. She's taking on the role as needed in diplomatic matters," Cyndi replied

"I look forward to meeting her and yes I am open to it," Razor responded.

Listening to the discussion Nix thought this was actually going pretty well and would be relieved when Cyndi was back aboard the Ship safely.

"Then I'll speak with her and send her down later. Most of my people will be coming via shuttle craft. Some feel it best as there are some who don't like the idea of transporters. One comment raised was transporters we can just beam at anytime anywhere. The shuttles will land and then the depending on things will either leave or remain on the surface," Cyndi remarked

"I'm fine with either commodore," Razor said "I understand the usage and ease of your transporters."

"I'll have the lieutenant arrive later today," Cyndi said.

Razor looked over at Nix and she smiled waiting on the Commodore.

"I look forward to meeting her," Razor said "If she beams down have her beam to this location or if she brings a craft there is a landing strip about a hundred yards from here."

"I'll let her know," Cyndi replied "I'll be returning to my ship and I'll be down at a later time, I thank you for seeing me. Nix anything you'd like to ask if not we're good to return to the ship."

"No, I've seen all I need to see for now and have no questions. I'm ready to leave anytime you are Commodore" Nix replied as she could sense Dunjen relaxing a bit.
