"I should think, Ambassador Bedru," Ael said with only a small hint of indignation on the human's part, "that your status would preclude the need for your introduction." There were few people that Ael held in such esteem - and particularly few humans - as she did Candance Bedru.

I trust you will be a welcomed voice of reason in this tower of Babel." Bedru used their interaction to study the Cardassian ambassador and to examine her own less than friendly reaction. She had lived through two wars against the Cardassians, the first one as Ops officer on the Defiant, and then years later as captain of the Ark Royal. She had seen friends and colleagues die, Se had nearly died herself in the final battle that had resulted in the taking of Cardassia Prime and the defeat of the Dominion. Had she allowed residue animosity to creep into her reaction? No, she thought immediately. Those wars were years old. She had grieved for her friends, and she had moved on. No, her reaction was to the woman herself. There was something that had Bedru's intuition on alert. For now, though, she buried her reaction. She had no reason to distrust Damesh, but that did not mean that she would trust her, either. > Just then, the Ferengi Ambassador idled in. Being new, he stoof off to the > side.

Bedru had glanced towards the door at the sound of its opening. With a couple of steps, she enlarged the scope of the gathering to include the Ferengi, despite him. "Ambassador Rilg," she said, "If I may introduce myself. I am Candance Bedru. I contacted your office earlier but am glad for this opportunity to meet you now." Ael nodded to the Ferengi but kept her silence. Ferengi's were cute, in a way that domesticated thrai were cute. She had to resist the attempt to reach out and stroke the one's ears. The impulse was easy to resist, however. AFter all, there needed to be no appearance of familiarity between herself and any Ferengi. -- Randy J.
