>Watson noticed the tweak of light from Dolari and caught the look out

Federation >Ambassador James Watson...it is a pleasure to meet you." >"And I am glad to make your acquaintance, Ambassador," the Clone replied >graciously. She seemed distant, not in a cold way, but as if she were >distracted or not quite there. >Lasiter refocused his attention on the newcomer. In an instant he knew it >was not the real Celana. It wasn't that he knew she was safely recovering >in an isolated room on Spacedock. It was everything about her. Nothing >sat right. The time that he spent bonded to Celana gave him a special >connection with her. A heightened sixth sense with regard to her. His >face did not betray his thoughts. He keenly watched the interaction >between the clone and Watson. >She nodded at something A'amon said. Once she looked at Lasiter, and it >seemed there was a hint of recognition... Then she turned back to >Ambassador Watson. "I am sorry to have left so abruptly, Ambassador," she >said, "with the Council decision to adhere to General A'amon's leadership >for the time being, there was little time to give proper notice." Watson was quite drawn to Celana, "We all have our responsibilities we have to attend to. I can quite understand." Rilg had to wonder why his people were always referred to as weak
sycophants as he listened to Watson kowtow to the Tremea. He was doing
everything but bend down to kiss her feet. Obviously, she deserved
respect, but there was no reason for him to help her make her excuses.
Lasiter continued to watch with great interest. His thoughts and feelings not surfacing. T'Kresh on the other hand was left with unanswered questions. She
felt that there was something wrong about this situation. She was not sure
what it was, and this was neither the time nor the place to confront the
Venasians, but she was planning on looking into things at some point. "It
is good to have you back with us, Madam Tremea."
