"What are your feelings  about the newest application for membership  to the
Council?  The  Ramesar seem interesting," said the Klingon  as she changed
the subject while  walking across the air lock from the  Holbrooke to the
station.

Rilg had  to hustle to keep up with  the tall woman, but he was able to do
so.  "I  have to admit that  I know little about them.  I was interested in
this situation that has  caused there society to be split between the
Usupers and the   Origae.  I am curious as to how that will play out.  And
it is clear that their relationship with the Venasians will provide us with
some interesting discussions."

Valtris nodded.  "I agree."  She  was surprised that he knew about the
incident between the Venasian and the  Ramesar.  She had spoken to her aide,
and he had told her about the  incident, but from what she had understodd,
the Ferengi had not been  represented at the reception.  "I am looking
forward to talking to the  representative during the application process. 
It should help clarify  some things about them."

"That is the only way to get to know them.   Do you know if they have put in
some sort of application proposal to give us a  basic overview of their
people?"  Rilg was feeling much more comfortable  now that the conversation
had shifted to another topic.  He was more like  his usual confident self
since he was not the center of attention.

"I do not know.  That would be helpful.  I have to admit that I see little
reason to deny them a seat on the Council.  We are meant to be a place where
our peoples can come together in a peaceful manner to deal with problems.  I
am not sure how that would work if we became elitist."  Valtris was calmer
than one would expect.  "The only real question in my mind is whether the
Ramesar we have been talking to represents the official government of their
people."

"From what they said when they were contacting us about their arrival, it seems that they are.  It is the Usurpers that were not the correct leaders."
