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
fr
om 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.
General A'amon obviously had some warning from Lasiter, because he didn't
seem to be surprised. He did, however, draw himself up straighter - if that
were possible - somehow making himself look even more imperious than he
usually did. While his impression did not change, he gave the distinct
impression he was looking down his nose at the new Ambassador.
Coincidentally, T'remea Haryail also had held back her greeting, choosing to
remain in the background as usual. By the cold glitter of the gold flecks
in her eyes, it seemed apparent that while she may have differing opinions
with A'amon about some things, about the Ramesar they seemed in perfect
agreement.
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."
