Mission: Mission 3: Diplomacy, what’s that?
Location: Bridge, USS Wellington

Horatio Refelian stood on the bridge of the Intrepid Class USS Wellington. He stood behind the Captain and First Officer’s seats with his hands behind his back. He watched the viewscreen as Faltan III came into view. It felt strange to be back in the Raeyan Sector again after six months away.

He had taken personal leave when his son in law was seriously injured when his ship the USS Medway had crashed on one of the systems outer planets. He’d chosen to help his daughter, Paloma, care for him and their son. Once his son in law was back on his feet, Harry had returned to Starfleet duty. He wanted to go into the diplomatic side of things so took a role on Earth.

However, with things deteriorating on Faltan III and the old Federation Ambassador requesting a new assignment, Harry was asked to go back to Faltan as the Federations Ambassador to the region. Feeling he had unfinished business on Faltan and with Governor Taga, he quickly accepted. The Wellington was recalled to Earth to carry the Federation’s new Ambassador to the Faltan system, so he could take up his new post.

“Entering standard orbit of Faltan III, Captain.” Reported the Helmsman.

“Thank you.” Captain Voss replied as she rose to her feet and turned to Refelian. “Well, Ambassador, it looks like you’ve arrived at your new old home.”

Harry smiled, “It’s good to be back.” He said with a smile. “I never thought I’d say that after the Faltean’s made an attempt on my life when I first arrived last time around.”

“Well, hopefully, they’ll give you a better reception this time around.” Voss replied with a smile. “Shall I escort you down to the transporter room, Ambassador?”

“I hope so aswell.” Harry replied with a smile before he raised a hand. “No I’ll be fine. Could you have my belongings transported to the embassy, please. I want to go straight to the command hub and see the new station Commander.”

“As you wish, Ambassador, I’ll make the necessary arrangements for you.” Voss replied.

“Thank you, and a big thank you to you and your crew for your hospitality on this trip. I’ve enjoyed being here.” Refelian replied with a smile.

“It was a pleasure, sir.” Said the Captain with a nod.

Refelian returned the nod with one of his own before turning and exiting the bridge as he headed down to the transporter room.
