Watson deliberately turned so his back wasn't towards her, "Ambassador
Damesh, walking up behind people as always. Good to see you as well."
Melora eyed the two Federation citizens with skepticism. "Not everyone is as observent as you,
Ambassador. Most notice when I approach," she repiled off the cuff. "A comparison to former-
Ambassador Dulath is something that I would consider a compliment considering the respect he
has earned among so many people aboard the station."
Just then, Plantoc Ra'aj approached from one of the adjacent hallways. "My apologies for not being
earlier. I was tied up with a communique with the Homeworld." She glanced around and noticed that
things appeared to be a bit tense. It was clear that Melora was up to her usual standards. I hope
my absence did not make things difficult."
