> As the President was about to start his speech, Commander M'Rrenn and a
security detail went to the Venasian Embassy on Spacedock. While the detail
remained around the corner, and thus out of sight M'Rrenn approached the
embassy.

> "Gentle Tides. I am Commanderrr M'Rrenn, Admirrral Lasiterrr's Chief of
Staff. I wish to speak with the Charrrge d'Affairrr and the Officerrr on
Duty. I am herrre to deliverrr a message frrrom Starrrfleet and the
Federrration Council.", he said politely, yet formally to one of the guards.

> From the look of M'Rrenn and by the nature of the his request, it was
clear that a face to face visit was required- diplomatic protocol demanded
it.
(I'm going to rush through some of the nitpicky details right here.)
The military guard on duty eyes glittered with its golden flecks as he
looked at her. In a moment, the door opened. "Commander Janaki is
currently the officer on duty," he told her tersely, in typical military
fashion, "Report in at the desk, please."
When M'Renn entered, everything inside looked fairly normal, except that the
military was clearly in control. The receptionist - a young Venasian in
military kit - took M'Renn's security clearance and logged her in. After an
easy, effecient check-in, a Venasian woman appeared. "I am Commander
Janaki. Please come into the office." She lead M'Renn into the office -
formerly Ambassador D'amondra's office, except all sign of Celana's
occupancy had been wiped clear. Now it looked strictly military. When they
were seated, Commander Janaki said, "How may I help you today, Commander?"
