Orin made his way back onto the USS Elysium and immediately headed straight to his office on Deck Two. He wanted to make sure that all of the transcripts that he took of the meeting were entered into the database before he forgot and they were lost to time.

Walking over to his desk, Orin activated the console on his desk and put the few PADDs onto the table next to it. "Computer, recognize Orin, Andrinn. Chief Diplomat, USS Elysium. Request Security Clearance to input diplomatic data into the computer and secure until further authorization is received."

The computer chirped to life as it processed the request and came back with, "Voiceprint verification complete. Waiting for authorization code to complete request."

Orin looked at the console in front of him as it waited for him to give his personal access codes to complete the request and further everything along. He took a breath before saying, "Access code, Orin-Zeta-1-9-7-gamma-echo." With that, the request was complete and allowed for Orin to move further.

Orin punched in a few commands to start the transfer of information from the PADDs to the computer core. Once started, the computer said that it would take approximately three minutes, forty-five seconds to upload. Since it was going to take a bit of time, Orin got up from his desk and walked over to the replicator and ordered up something from Earth that Sam had mentioned prior. It was spiced apple something or rather. Once it was ordered, the replicator swirled to life and the console beeped behind Orin.

He picked up the glass that the amber liquid was in and walked back to his desk to check on why the console was trying to get his attention again. Orin saw that the computer had flagged a few things in the parts of the transcript that had been uploaded by that point. Nothing major, but just something that Orin knew that he was going to have to deal with.

Orin let the rest of the transcripts finish uploading to the Diplomatic database before he really took a deep dive into the stuff that the computer had flagged for him to go back into. He opened up some of the earliest documentation of needed tweaks or changes and most of them were simple fixes. Just something that the universal translators might have misread and mistranslated, which was an easy enough fix for Orin. He went through all of those and made sure that they were good before moving onto the more complex issues.

One of the bigger ones that the computer flagged was when the delegates were discussing the usage of the transportation device that the Elysiums and others were using and creating. That was something that Andrinn had thought about why the people who brought the Elysium here were so worried about that and why they even would want to come onboard the station to discuss it?

Orin could only guess. So, he continued onward and finished out the transcripts before too long. Then, he decided to head back to his quarters onboard the Elysium and finally get something to eat as well as get some shuteye.
