BACKGROUND
Ratzmuridan "Ratz" Dourop was born into a large family in 2257, the youngest of seven children of Ageromosh Dourap, a certified accountant on Tellar, and his medical administrator wife, Goonoori. Brilliant even by his famiily's overachieving standards, Ratz was fast-tracked into a a rigorous academic program. His days and nights were filled with studies; while it had the desired effect of preparing the young Tellarite for his chosen career, it also deprived him of any form of childhood. As a result, all he knew was that he was the smartest Tellarite in the room and he acted accordingly.
Finishing his collegiates by the age of 14, Ratz entered medical university, graduating with a degree in alien medicine (with human specialty) within three years. He was then old enough to apply for Starfleet Academy and was accepted immediately. Even there, Ratz considered himself the smartest being in the room, backed up by stellar academic performance and praise from his instructors. However, he frequently found himself in heated arguments with his classmates; although none ever came to blows, Ratz slowly ostracized himself from his fellow cadets as bad blood and grudges began to form.
Dourap graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2277, again in three years, while simultaneously completing his internship at the academy hospital. His bedside manner was, frankly, atrocious, and his superiors recommended him for research duty. Dourap found himself first at a Vulcan Science Academy medical research station in Vulcana Regar, where he spent a couple months earning his Vulcan internal medicine residency (about the maximum length of time his superiors could tolerate him interacting with patients); he then transferred to Denobula as part of the Federation Medical Exchange.
Following a two-year stint at Starfleet Medical on Earth (where he completed his Andorian specialty and further alienated his colleagues with his frequent correction of diagnoses), Ratz was transferred to Starbase 11 in 2284 as the senior research medical officer, where he reunited with one of his few close friends, Lt. Cmdr. John Farrell. In early 2287, while Ratz was off duty, he encountered a coolant leak near the personnel section of the starbase. Without regard to personal safety and relying on his innate resistance to toxins, the doctor rushed in to find his friend slumped over his desk, unconscious. Ratz removed Farrell from the area and performed life-saving first aid.
Ratz was decorated for his heroism, and Farrell offered to do anything to repay him. Dourap's only wish was to actually get posted to a ship. His friend and ally obliged, assigning Ratz to USS Drake as she was en route to a survey mission beyond Caitian space. After spending a couple months acclimating to the ship and shadowing Lt. Hunter (whom he replaced), Ratz stepped full time into his new role as an attending physician. Following Dr. Welch's retirement, he was assigned as chief surgeon of the Drake.
Ratz's eldest sibling is Barnangor Dourap, a member of a regional judicial commission on Tellar.

However, if you become Fatigued, you increase the Potency of any such emotion-related trait by 1.

Sonek is the son of Captain Sorak (Portmaster, Eridani Shipyards) and V'Kor Investigator T'Kiri. He followed his father into Starfleet when he was old enough, but remained true to himself by sticking to scientific study rather than the more practical applications his father prefers.
Sonek had a bit of trouble integrating at the Academy until he got over his own stiffness and learned to relax a bit. His cadet cruise assignment aboard the Drake has been both his greatest experience (being out there on the front lines) and his worst fear (being stuck in his father's shadow). Either way, Sonek is determined to serve with distinction, regardless of the lighting.

"I take it that the ambassador is not willing to disclose the existence of the symbionts to the Federation, then?" Tobin asks, his voice lowered. "Because if so, I am afraid that may scuttle our application. Our world's reticence on certain topics makes many think we have something to hide, Jeeri."

"We weren't given permission to set up the necessary shield generators to cover the complex," Dax notes.
"Of course not," Olabodheo confirms. "It would have been too disruptive to the tourist season."
"Alphan Orbital Guard patrol craft and two Starfleet escorts will be on station over the planet as a picket to prevent unauthorized vessels from entering transporter range of the planet," Carpenter continues. "And we have all sorts of sensors trained on the complex, so we'll know someone's coming before they get here.
"We even have a couple crack transporter teams who will attempt to intercept incoming unauthorized beams."

"She's...," Jeeri shifts her gaze between Voshen and Tobin. "...well, she's reticent, but...hopeful, I suppose? I don't think anyone on our team was ready for the level of opposition our application received. If it was just one voice speaking out because of whatever crusade they're on, sure, that sort of thing we know how to deal with - but this is a popular delegate who can pull an entire voting bloc behind him. The ambassador has sometimes wondered if Trill really needs Federation membership that badly - it's not worth sacrificing our principles and cultural identity.
"The hopeful part is that she agreed to the preconference session, and the Novans did, too. She was named Ambassador to the Federation because she believes joining that government will benefit our people, so this is something she wants."
OOC: BTW, Jeeri is pronounced jee-AIR-ee.

Jeeri seems to be genuinely happy to see Tobin, but appears to seamlessly switch to a general "professional friendliness" mode that is common to diplomats within a disturbingly few moments. It makes Voshen wonder if they are more rivals than friends.
"Youngest Legate in the Interstellar Office," she boasts, although, with Jeeri, it never sounds like boasting - more like nervous acceptance of praise. But, Tobin knows her ego; it's boasting.
"It's certainly an adventure, between the polarization of Legorian Hall* along application lines, the almost off-putting nature of the Federation commissariats' enthusiasm, and the opposition of the Novan-aligned bloc in the Federation Council.

"Glad to hear it," Olabodheo responds, just as brightly.
Carpenter gestures for the team to find seats around the table. He briefly describes the function of the operations center and notes that the Drake team's communicators have already been linked to the conference network. He then goes describes the security plan:
- Alpha III's planetary security forces have secured a two block perimeter around the complex, and has shut down nearby resorts to limit beach traffic. They are also providing ingress and egress security at the complex street entrance.
- Security within the complex and on the beach are being handled by Federation Security personnel, and the teams attached to FCAT are currently performing sweeps and setting up command centers around the complex, which is why the Drake team is needed for the preconference session.
- Security for the 3rd & 4th Floors of Uwaano Hall (which have been set aside for the preconference session), as well as the Trill and Novan delegations' quarters, will be handed over to Cole for the duration of the preconference session. Federation Security will continue to handle access to the hall itself.
- Phaser Is are mandated on duty. Phaser IIs are authorized on the 3rd and 4th floors, which Carpenter calls "Sensitive Areas," at Cole's discretion. Kill settings are authorized only in the event of being attacked with deadly force.
- Alpha III planetary security point of contact is Commander Buurunti. FCAT Security point of contact is Agent-in-Charge Montfort. Lt. Cmdr. Carpenter is the general FCAT/Starfleet point of contact. Dax, of course, is available to liaise with all groups, as well.
