Entering transproter room two, La'Mara gave a nod to the officer behind the console. "Hello crewman. Having a nice day?" La'Mara asked as she waited for her other officers to get ready so they could depart. "Yes ma'am. Thank you." The crewman replied a bit taken back. Not a whole lot of captains decided to ask how ones day was going unless they interacted with them constantly.
"We'll do a head count before leaving." La'Mara said mainly to herself. She didn't want to leave anyone behind. Also before leaving she wanted to go over a few rules.

Lisa entered the transporter room just after the Captain, and would have made straight for the transport pad, had the Captain not insisted upon doing a headcount. The crewman on duty seemed taken aback by Captain Tiho's inquiry about his day. Lisa couldn't help a grin at this fact, as it was very unusual but beneficial to be friendly to people.
She waited patiently for the others to arrive and the Captain to complete her head count.

It took a bit for Mishtak to arrive in the transporter room, as he had to swing by the armory to get his phaser. He was now wearing his duty belt with hand phaser and tricorder, in addition to his standard sash with hidden knife.
Upon arriving he saw that Lt. Huygens had arrived and was waiting with the captain. He began debating with himself on mentioning his feelings about having both senior security officers present but decided not to as he was certain the captain had her reasons, and it was not a conversation to have in front of another officer, especially one from another department. Besides, from a command point of view it made sense to have them both present at a first contact, if for nothing more than to keep a watchful eye on everything from multiple vantage points...
"Captain."
Was his simple hello to her, he would get to know her soon enough, no reason to rush things right now...
"Lt."
He said by way of greeting Lisa, another officer he had not gotten to know very well yet either...
It seemed he was going to get to know alot of people on this mission, as Lt. Xena was the only member of the away team he really knew so far...

"Could someone please fill me in?" Xena requested as she grabbed an extra phaser, and stuck it on her waist. "Where are we going?" Xena was one that preferred specifics. She also despised guessing games. She also hated the long versions of stories. Short, simple, and to the point had always served quite well. Hopefully she'd not have to just grin and bear it upon getting information...if she got it in the first place.

In came Larkin armed with a Phasor and a tricorder per away team guidelines. He wondered if his being last to arrive was due to his age or simply because he was out of practice for being on leave for so long, he instantly thought the latter. Oh, Mishtak also carried a phasor and an interesting armament. A belt of some kind.
"Looks like everyone is here. Are we missing anybody?" He looked at Lt.Xena as he had never seen her before and nodded toward her in greeting. Here he was, moments away from being on a whole new world. Ti was rather exciting, though he looked forward to seeing if there and where were more friendly people were. Stellar Cartography, not his are of expertise but he knew how to read a star chart and plot in courses and vectors and all the other lovely things a pilot did.

One by one. It looked like everyone was there. La'Mara stood on her toes a bit as she took in a head count. Huygens, Mishtak, Xena, Larkin... All were present and accounted for. Good. La'Mara was flat on her feet again. Apparently Xena had been left out of the loop due to her questions asked.
"Well lieutenant. We made first contact with an alien species. They have invited us down to their planet, and we are going." That was the extremely short version of what had gone on. Tiho felt it would do for now. When they arrived she'd find out more; they all would. Now for the rules...
These rules were more over La'Mara's preference rather than Starfleet's rules, though they did still apply.
"Alright everyone, you all should know Starfleet's rules for first contact," La'Mara began as she collapsed her hands together. "they apply," for now... "I'd would like it though if we all don't start jumping to conclusions. Obviously this species is different from ours so they are bound to act, and have different ways of doing things as well as a different set up in technology. So let's not guess the worst, just exercise caution."
"If you can, try and make friends with the natives...converse. Listen attentively if you can. Don't shout off your mouths or make any verbal gestures we consider rude. Remember, they've been to our quadrant." That was pretty much it. "Oh, and please don't forget about your common sense." La'Mara said all with a smile then stepped up onto the transporter pad. "Any questions?"

Larkin nodded at the rules and regulations she laid down. He took a quick gander around to see what the others were thinking or what they would say. As for himself he stepped onto the transporter and fell in behind the Captain. He swiftly double checked his phasor and tricorder then put them away, satisfied with the results the placed them back on his person and waited for the the crewman to transport him and his fellow officers to Rathr.

Xena saw as Captain Tiho stood on her toes, and appeared to count everyone. The assistant chief of security had to hind a smile. It just looked so silly. Almost like the captain was a teacher taking a bunch of first graders on a field trip. How wonderful. The answer she had received had been shorter than Xena had expected. It would do for now.
She then listened as the captain said her set of rules. "Works for me." Xena said semi dryly as she stepped up onto the transporter pad. Xena was not sure about the other, but she was ready to go.

Starfleet protocol along with the captain's ow interpretation of what should occur, this should be fun...
He double checked the charge on his phaser, full, and then his tricorder, just right. He then tapped his hidden knife, trying to hide the movement from the others and finally stepped onto the transporter pad with everyone else, he figured his stepping up would answer the captains question about questions as he said nothing.
He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to make friends of these people per say, but he would do his best to try and be as pleasant as a Klingon can be...
He glanced over to Larkin and then back to Xena before settling in and preparing himself for transport,he just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page before meeting this race in person for the first time, he was curious about the scent thing, as a Klingon and a hunter he was aware that every race had a distinct scent to them, but he was unable to ascertain what the federation scent was, if there even was such a thing, this was going to be interesting to say the least...

Larkin looked as Mishtak tapped his belt. That was rather odd. May haps it was some sort of Klingon luck ritual Klingons did before departing on an away mission. Larkin figured why not and tapped his chest were Mishtak did previously and nodded thinking comraderie could happen. As Mishtak came on the transporter pad Larkin looked at him. "Lieutenant" he said with a simple nod of his head. Well this was every one. Now he just needed to wait for the transport to happen.
END-move to planet

It looked like everyone was ready, and no one had voiced any questions. Most of them just stepped up onto the transporter pad. La'Mara just assumed that all were good to go. Everyone was there that should be there. She had done the head count, told them of her personal rules...
Was there anything else? Didn't seem like it. Hopefully there was not. It would be dreadful to beam down then remember you forgot something; that would not be putting the best foot forward. "Here we go I guess." Truth be admitted La'Mara was personally just a little bit nervous.
There was always a first for everything, and this just so happened to be another first for her. She looked at the crewman and smiled. "Beam us down to the selected coordinates." After a couple of hand movements the away team was beamed off the ship.

Apparently no questions. Everyone on the pad. Could they go now? Xena didn't like staying in one place longer than she had to. She was quite glad when their captain finally gave the word to transport down. They disappeared in a shimmering blue. Gone. Thank God...

Lisa couldn't wait to get down, so she didn't. Everyone was there, and they were beamed down.
