"If I can assist you in any way before I leave, do let me
know."
"We'll see what happens..." There was something resigned about Levy... Bedru looked Levy directly in the eye, trying to read what he meant. (Levy?) (*snip*) "May I introduce the representatives of the Diplomatic Council?" She then proceeded to do just that. Dai'Cou stepped forward first, primarily because he was their representing the Council Chair. Once he was in front of the Emissary he leaned forward into a diplomatic bow. "I am Dai'Cou y Caimlyn of the Aqualish Union. On behalf of our embassy and the Chairwoman of the Diplomatic Council, I welcome you to Space Station McKinley." "Thank you for receiving me. Please extend the appreciation of my government and people for receiving our application for membership." Levy stepped forward, "Emissary...I am Assistant Federation Ambassador Levy. Please excuse the absence of Ambassador Watson-he has been called away on Diplomatic business." Marconis give Levy a quizical look. The fact that Watson was
not
there to greet him, was ... unexpected. The _expression_ was only fleeting. "His absense is unfortunate, but understandable. Duty first," he finally answered before moving on. Bedru caught the _expression_. Her opinion of Watson dropped another notch. He had created this situation, then he left it for someone else to clean it up. The Klingon who stood at the back of the group bowed his head. "I am Cultural Liaison Koomah from the Klingon Empire." "It is an honor to meet you." Koomah bowed his head in appreciation of Marconis' address.
Just then Ambassador Ael t'Khllrez strode into the meeting area.
"My sincere apologies for my tardiness. Official business kept me
until a time later than I had planned." By the time she finished speaking
she had arrived next to Emissary Marconis. "I am Ael t'Khllrez,
and I welcome you in the name of the Rihannsu," she said with a
delicate bow.
(Marconis?)
Once all of the Council representatives had met Marconis, she said, "Emissary, may I also introduce Admiral Lorin Renaud. He is chief of these facilities and head of Star Fleet's research and development programs." "Admiral.", replied Marconis, bowing his head slightly. (Renaud?) As Lorin was answering, Admiral Lasiter and General A'amon entered. While there was nothing to announce their arrival, the Ramesar Guards did pay them attention. Unwelcome attention. This gave Marconis reason to stop his conversation with Lorin to look at the new comers. The initial _expression_ on Marconis' face was that of a diplomat, neutral curiosity. As his gaze continued, it changed to recognition. Not of an individual, but to a people. A people that were considered something other than a friend. Dai'Cou did see the look of recongnition that slowly formed on the
newcomers face. He wondered what this was due to. From the notes he
had gone over from the Plantoc, there was no indication that any of the members
of the Council had worked with the Ramesar besides the Federation.
Ael, too, noticed and decided to file it away to look into at some later
time.
{reactions} It became more clear when the Ramesar Emissary spoke, "Why are they here?" His question was posed with the coldness that betrayed his military background. Dai'Cou decided to step in since he was filling in for the Plantoc. "Since General A'amon is currently visiting the station in his position of leader of his people, I am sure that Admiral Lasiter thought it would be nice to allow him to meet the newest representative to apply to the Council. I am sure there was no insult intended." (folks?)
