@RogerBW asked for a die roll: Your warp lane length: `d3+1: 2` (that’s “roll d3+1” in square brackets) Destination system: Indri VIII (RC-3) Exploration card: Federation Confrontation. Since you _are_ the federation, a ship from the player to your right (Romulans, @Delwayne) is in this system. ---

‘Open a channel. “Unidentified vessel, this is the _USS Tempest_ of the United Federation of Planets. Please state your intentions in orbiting Indri VIII.”’ So @Delwayne , might you be interested in some sort of trade agreement? Or are things going to go in a more… aggressive direction? Edit: in order to expedite things, I’d be happy with any even trade (1 for 1 up to 3 for 3). Normally I guess this might be less appealing to the suspicious Romulans (_We’re_ suspicious? _You’re_ the other side of Earth from Romulus!) but we’re very early in the game, reducing the disparity, and I just found you a free ship. That’s one production right there! Also the Andorians and Cardassians are whispering. I’m not saying they’re already working out how to carve up the galaxy between them, but… ---

“Greetings Federation Vessel… Our ship unexpectedly entered a wormhole during an Ion Storm that brought us to this location. We do not intend to colonize in this area and intend to warp out. But we would agree to a 3/3 Trade Agreement on Behalf of the Romulan Empire.” [OOC] is it confirmed, we are doing Humble Beginnings? Also what level of Borg? ---

“We would be delighted to enter into this mutually beneficial agreement with the Romulan Empire and wish you safe travels on your continuing voyages.” Federation agrees to a 3/3 trade agreement with the Romulans. Command 3: ship at Earth enters warp. Command 4: same ship exits warp, heading south (rotating east as necessary). ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: Lane length `d3+1: 3` Destination system: Deneb V (RRC-4) Exploration: Guardian of Forever “Draw the top card of your Advancement deck. It is completed immediately: place it in your Advancement area.” You receive: Transwarp Drive (2 Warp bonuses). ---

1 Command remains. (Note correction to first ship position, you don’t enter an occupied system.) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7919b2c9e8448f6a1ab5d992c47904a4fc886dbf.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4aa9f0db3426023a269a53ba2a9830b703997a87.jpeg) ---

(A federation ending its turn one with a 3 production trade agreement and trans warp drive is a great opening move!) ---

Command 5: launch new advancement project: Long Range Sensor Arrays. Unless I’m missing something, I believe that is the end of my turn. (Looks like you need to delete one of the ships from Earth - there should be only one there now.) ---

Well we could add a bit more substance to this illusion. Would you consider a trade deal? I gather that your diplomats are extremely gifted. Perhaps our one research token a turn for your own one research trade deal. We love using research for its _peaceful implications_. ---
