"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."

Valtris nodded.  That is how things appeared.  "Well, I am sure we will know 
more if we have a report to read over tonight.  I am assuming that we will 
start hearing about the application at tomorrow morning's meeting.  I assume 
that Watson will start presenting his ward to us, then."
