[New Paris, Turkana IV]

The conversation with the Commander York was brief and to the point. She had given him permission to comply with the wishes of the Minister Onasi and joined her for dinner that evening. The motives behind the dinner invitation were rather clear to Tovan. Minister Onasi was looking for information concerning the involvement of Starfleet in this matter.

Tovan was fairly sure that she would not try anything that would harm him in anyway but he still needed to be very cautious. After parting with the Commander and the rest of the team, Tovan headed down the street. There were still a couple of hours before he needed to head to meet with Lumiya.

The world had been in a long chaotic war for a very long time, but just by walking down the street a person wouldn't be able to tell that so much chaos and destruction had happened not only in this city but worldwide. The streets were very busy with all kinds of folks. Shops on each side of the street were open and inviting. Noises from the children from a nearby park filled the streets.

Tovan didn't feel like he was in any type of danger, however on occasion there were those wondering eyes that fell upon the Starfleet officer. But no one said anything, just continued on with their business. After wondering down the street for about half an hour Tovan made his way to a caf. It had a patio area so he found a table in the shadows and took a seat.

After a couple of moments a waitress with a friendly smile approached the table. The two of them exchanged a few brief words about his well being and how it's nice to have some new faces in town before she took his order and headed inside. Tovan leaned in his seat and tapped his communication badge.

"Lieutenant Faye here..." The voice answered from the other side. It was very official but at the same time soft and gentle. Something that Tovan has learned to appreciate over the past few weeks that they have been working together.

"Lieutenant, I need your help on a situation that has come up down here on the planet." Tovan said. It was true that he wasn't worried about the dinner this evening but he still needed to be well prepared and as such he needed a support team.

"Is everything alright, sir?" Morgan asked. There was clear worry in her voice as she asked.

"Yes, everything is fine. I have been invited to dinner this evening and I will need a support team to monitor the situation." Tovan began explaining the situation. He found himself chuckling lightly at what he just said. It was a very odd thing to say to someone. People usually don't need a support team monitoring the dinner.

"I see..." There was an unsure response from Morgan. "I hope you don't mind me asking sir, but why would anyone need a support team monitoring the dinner...?"

"The dinner is with Minister Onasi. She is the leader of the Alliance side down here on the planet. She has invited just me to dine with her. I believe that she is looking for information and I don't believe that she will try anything but just in case I want to be ready if anything should happen."

"I understand sir. What do you need me to do...?"

"I am scheduling a briefing in half an hour. I'd like for you to be present as well as Chief Petty Officer Munro and Ensign Miyazaki. So if you can please inform them of the briefing I would appreciate that."

"Consider it done, sir."

"There is one more thing Lieutenant. I'd like you to do some research for me. I want to know everything that there is to know concerning Minister Onasi as well as the Alliance. I want to be ready for whatever."

"I understand. I will contact you in an hour for the briefing."

"Please do." Tovan said. The two of them ended their conversation and cut the transmission. It was a perfect timing because he noticed the waitress walking out the door with his order.
