T'Kresh waited a moment to hear Melora's response to Watson's request, but it seemed that it was not forthcoming. "Ambassador Damesh, I believe that you owe Ambassador Watson and the rest of this Council a response. You knew the reason why we wanted you to make arrangements for us to meet with Golan Dulath. Yet it appears that you have come to us with a series of lies about his whereabouts. What do you have to say about this."
For the first time since she joined the Council. It was clear that Melora Damesh was flustered. "I did not speak with Mr. Dulath directly. I only received a report >from Central Command and forwarded you the information that I provided. I did not lie."
A sarcastic laugh sounded from Valtris. "You have got to be kidding, Ambassador. Since you first joined the Council you have held all of us in contempt. You have >lied, cheated, and done whatever you think is necessary to get what you want. In fact, as Mr. Dulath's diplomatic aide you did the same. You expect us to believe >that you have no idea what has happened to him. I find that extremely hard to believe."
Watson spoke up but he kept his voice level, "Ambassador Damesh, you don't like us-that much has been obvious in your facial gestures since I've joined the Council-even before my original motion. As a member of this Council we need to work together not as enemies no matter what our respective world histories have been. I challenge you Ambassador to present Golan Dulath to us on your honor."
"Do you think that this is all happening to spite the Council? I am simply reporting what I was informed by Central Command. We have not reason to hold or torture Golan Dulath so why should I question what they have told me?" asked Melora in what was not a completely uncontrolled reaction.
Valtris slammed her hand down on the conference table and stood up. Her black eyes glared as she stared at the Cardassian. "You are going to have to do better than that, Ambassador. You know what we are looking for, and even you must have had your doubts about the report from Central Command. You have your connections. In fact, your father ran the Intelligence Division of your government. You only had to seek out the truth. Why didn't you?"
