Our Friends, the Adamoi

We have received permission from the Adamoi World Council… limited crew will be given leave to visit Techelen starting this Friday. The Adamoi have been adapting some of their facilities to fit our personnel (smaller furniture, more comfortable spaces, etc), and should be finished with these changes by the end of the week. Our personnel will have cultural guidelines to abide by while visiting the Adamoi, however, for the most part, our hosts are welcoming, and eager to receive visitors.

On the political front, the Adamoi have shown interest in meeting with Federation ambassadors to assess their inclusion within the Federation. This is, of course, a process that takes time, but the Adamoi do seem interested in the prospect. Unfortunately, the Enterprise does not have the appropriate ambassadorial staff aboard, so another dedicated starship will likely follow up on the work we have been doing, after we leave orbit. Our task has been to pursue first contact protocols, open a dialogue, and facilitate cultural exchanges, a task we have been – thus far – successful in doing.

We will likely remain in orbit of Techelen for a while yet. Our task is ongoing, and there are still a number of meetings and exchanges to complete, but I can say with certainty, we have a new friend in the Adamoi, and that may have far reaching benefits to the Federation. We’ll see what the future holds. As of right now, though, that future looks bright.
