Since it looks like these folks might be important to the story, I've spent a couple of minutes coming up with a few ideas (Edit: and have added other people's ideas) for...
[size=larger]The Fen Consulate to Canada[/size]
Lieutenant Nyota Nicholls, the ranking local representative of the United Federation of Planets, looked out the window quickly and wondered once again whose bright idea it was to set up the Fen's consulate in Canada right across the street from the Czech Embassy. Then she shook her head to clear it; this wasn't the time for idle thoughts.
Mr. Keffer wanted to see all the senior staff in his office - a troubleshooter from Great Justice had just arrived.
Location:
A decent-size house at 250 Cooper St., Ottawa, Ontario. (I'll go take a photo later, if I remember when I'm not busy.)
As mentioned in the short vignette, it's across the street from the Embassy of the Czech Republic to Canada. It's downtown, but not in the really expensive part of downtown, and the RCMP are already keeping a discreet watch on the area.
Important People
In order of rank in the Consulate:
Marcus Keffer: Head of Mission. Like so many of Fenspace's diplomats, he's from the Interstellar Alliance. Mr. Keffer is the sole official Fiver representative to Canada.
Lt. Nyota Nicholls: Deputy Chief of Mission. Senior Trekkie representative. Nyota Nicholls is very obviously an Uhura fan, and she ROCKS the TOS Minidress. She herself is currently unmodded and only really looks like either of the character's actresses in that she's an attractive black woman in a TOS Minidress. She's from an upper-middle class family from a suburb of Philadelphia. Her parents are actually retired SMOFs from before the wave who are at Utopia Planitia because they were about to take the Trek Biomod plunge to overcome some medical difficulties.
Jedi Knight Lou Chadwick: Military attaché. Warsie representative.
Tara Gale: Legal attaché. Senshi representative. Originally from Coventry, England; still has the accent. (There's more to the Crystal Millennium than just the magical girls, remember? Ms. Gale wears a catsuit to combat, not a fuku.)
Marie-Louise Garneau: Commercial attaché; coordinates joint Fen/Canadian economic-development and humanitarian-relief efforts with http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/home]CIDA and http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/international/index.aspx]DFAIT, respectively. Bilingual, fluent in both French and English. Blue Blazer Irregular #841, otherwise a Generalist.
{foo}: Scientific attaché. Junior Trekkie representative.
{bar}: Agricultural attaché. Independent Faction representative.
{baz}: Press attaché. Generalist.
(Yes, I still need a few names. Fleshing out these people's personalities might be a good idea, too. Edit: At least two of those three without names should be males; there are already three females listed in the eight senior staff. I'm also thinking that obvious biomods are off-limits; while Canadians tend to be accepting of multicultural differences, any Native could tell you that there are limits to our acceptance... )
