"I am Spartacus." She gave a bow. "If you would follow me I will show you the accommodations that we have for you?" She took a step towards the exit as the other delegation would be appearing soon and we did not need a security incident at the onset of peace talks.

"That will be acceptable," Deniro said with a bow.
"If you would follow me, it is very close to where we will be meeting." She explained as she lead the way out of the Transporter Room. "I think you will be comfortable in the quarters set aside for you and your assistants.

"Excuse me Ma'am." A young yeoman said rushing over to York. Her skin pale as she nervously handed a PADD to Sam and beckoned her away from the crowd.
"I just received this from a representative from Starfleet personnel. I didn't read it or anything but for some weird reason the man who gave it to me told me it was transfer orders for Commander Vance from the Chief of Starfleet Personnel."
Sam took the PADD and slipped it into a pocket. "If it didn't come through official channels, it is not official," she said. "This is not an emergency and is NOT the time or place for this. I will deal with it later. Find out who the man is and report him to Ensign Sirel. He is not permitted on the ship and if he tries this again, he will be sent to the brig."
"Ma'am." she said clearing her throat wondering if her nerves had blurred her speech. "It did. The PADD is signed by the Chief of Starfleet Personnel. The man was a command officer. He said if there were any issues you could contact the chief to authenticate the orders."
"Trust me, I will," Sam said. After the failed attempt to convict Vance in the Court Martial, Sam expected the Admiral to try something else. But she wasn't going to simply accept the transfer, she was going to make sure it actually came through proper channels.
Kela took a moment to give the delegation a once over, taking a moment to look over to the transporter console and checking the scan to see if there was any weapons on boards. With a quick nod to the transport chief, she took a step back and placed her hands behind her back, keeping her eyes locked on the new arrivals.
The Octurius delegation appeared, human oid and only slightly diffrent from the other delegations in their features and clothing, they had on more Military style Dress uniforms. The three females had swords at their sides while the two support females wearing Kilt like skirts, the Leader Lynta wore a long black full length skirt The Jackets were well fitted to them with the leather boots nearly to the skirt line adorned by a medium dirt on the right boot, the sheath on the low thigh near the knee for Neena and Ferrin while Lynta had her's on the opposite hip. Each wore a barret of black with a ribbon in multi colors that had meaning to them.
"I am Lynta...." The center woman with red flaming hair and gree eyes with a gentle features spoke quite formally. "This is Neenak..." The gessgure waws to a slightly taller raven hair woman with blue eyes and more stern expression. "And Ferrin..." The other woman with the auburn hair and brown eyes , high cheeks and a demure expression on her face.
"Welcome," Sam said, bowing. "I am Samantha York and this is Ignatz Jones. He will escort you to the quarters set aside for you."

From her station in the Science Dept., Lt. Andrews hit her com badge. "Andrews to Transporter Room, accomodations for our guests are ready for their arrival. List of any flora and fauna anyone in the groups may be allergic to has been sent from Medical to the Mess, so there will be no chance of accidental poisoning. "
====
Doctor Frost was on duty at the moment when a list of allergies that concerned the visiting delegates appeared. The doctor forwarded it to the Mess and to the Bridge so that both would be aware. She then returned to her regular duties.
Lt. Brown sat at ops and monitored communications and sensors, allocating additional power to the communications array for the duration of the current operation.

Ignatz mused to the other Betazoid mixes in the room ~I wouldn't bet on that no accidental poisonings bit, nor that they are fully accidental~
~ Death is never without reason, natural or not.~ Spartacus replied. ~ Only murder is a choice.~ She concluded.
"I want everything double-checked," Sam said to the other two. "I don't want any accidents while they're here."

Leroy sat on the flight deck, his head under part of his fighter. Nothing was wrong, but he felt the need to tinker. Diplomacy had always been hard for the Mangalia's, so he didn't even look up when those details were brought up. Shaking his head again, Leroy dislodged himself from his ship, looking at the groups that were chattering and working. "Alright guys, everyone go clean up and be ready. If the Captain is throwing a party for these guys then were not going in dirty." And I won't be going in at all. Not my place.
"I doubt they want all of us," Phoenix said. "Not enough room. So if one or two go, we should be fine, right?" She had no desire to go to some fancy party for the delegates. She checked the duty roster, wondering if she could find a reason to be busy.
====
When the delegates had been taken to their respective quarters Sam let out a sign. That went well enough. She just opened the reception that night would go as well. She touched the PADD in her pocket and headed for her Ready Room to deal with it.
