Steve laughed internally as 3 sets of suggestions, questions, concerns; you name it, they came - flooded out from various points of the room. It was a great feeling to know that people were definately interested, and making a point to get themselves involved.

As Connor asked for a volunteer vessel, Steve's own gaze waved across the sea of Captains in hopes that someone would come forward before he had to look at ordering one on their first assignment. "I assume though, Commander, that you and your time will be looking for the most strategical location we come across to place the station? That would in some way tag on from Ms Woodcroft's suggestion." He turned to face Melanie as he leant backwards on the podium and loosely folded his arms over his chest. "The codes are a good suggestion, it would help us to know when our own ships are coming through; work with your Taskforce Teams on getting those handed out to Flight-Conn officers for all vessels. Only issue from that would be when we dont receive one, but that would be something we cross when whoever or whatever emerged - something we cannot control."

"If I may, Admiral, I have requested that my people keep a closer eye then normal on this sector of space to watch for any incoming gates.  Should they notify me of an incoming traveler without a Federation signature, I could notify you immediately."

Steve turned to the newly-arrived Ambassador, gesturing with his hand and arm to Ornixen before replacing to fold over his chest. "My apologies Ladies and Gents, this is Ambassador Kuchaba Ornixen; an individual who utilises Gateway technology in a far off sector. I'm hoping he can aide me and my teams in seeing to it that the Gateway we have here is utilised correctly." He looked back to Ornixen, inclining his head somewhat in thanks. "I would appreciate that, however I do not want our affairs to interefere with your own people's. With all due respect, the Federation's Prime Directive guides us on 'helping' 'lesser-abled' species, if I could ask you consider that in your own way in regards to us?"
