Moreover, a strange sideline event was noticed by many in the hall. Perhaps it was best described as a non-event. Rear Admiral Tyrus Lasiter, Kettering's right hand and one of his chief drum beaters, was oddly quiet this night. His half attention and deepness of thought served to punctuate his silence. Admiral Jora noticed it the most, being a Betazoid she would,and she shared that with Kitanya.
"I noticed that too. I think he talked to his brrrotherr beforrrehand, but I can't guess as to what was said. At least Keterrrring has rrrealized he's not the only top cat arrround, and he may have lost his most arrrdent supporrrterr tonight as well, which will make even morrre people rrreconsiderr theirrr supporrrt of him."
