@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?

(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.)

(Waves) Hello!
Antenna twitches in surprise
Now, aren’t we far from home?
Well, philosophically speaking, distance is an illusion.
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.
