Melora Damesh returned to the Cardassian embassy upon returning back to the
station. The visit to Cardassia had not gone well. In fact, it could
not have gone worse. Professor Dulath was back on the station, and she had
no doubt that he was going to be given sanctuary by one of his Council
friends.
She walked past the reception area without giving much notice to her staff
and made her way to her office. She almost wished the station had
old-fashioned type doors since it would have allowed her to slam the one she had
just past through. Instead, she just slammed her PADD down on her
desk. It was not nearly as rewarding as the other option would have
been.
She turned and activated a comm line to Cardassia Prime. It did not
take long for her to make the connection with the person she was hoping to talk
with. It was Doran Dulath, her father, who also happened to be in charge
of the Obsidian Order. His eyes began to sparkle as he recognized who was
on the other end of the line. "Melora, what a pleasure to hear from
you. I see you have made it back to the station?"
She nodded. "And Golan Dulath arrived with me. He has free run
of the station while he is on 'vacation' here"
Doran smiled. "I already no that, little one. You do not have
to tell me. We are making sure to keep an eye on him." He seemed
unconcerned by recent turns of events.
Melora was a bit surprised by his willingness to be so laid back by
things. "Doesn't he pose a problem for our security?"
"My dear, things have changed a great deal since he was a part of the
government. We have other plans that he knows nothing about. The
only danger he poses is that others will know that we still have a problem with
political dissidents. There is nothing that we, or they, can do about
that. Besides, he may not be a problem for much longer."
Melora cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean?"
"Let's just say you will know what I mean when it happens. I must be
off. I have important business to attend to," said her father. "I am
glad that you called to let me know that you arrived back at the station.
It is always good to know that you are well."
Melora doubted that he needed these calls to know that, but she was always
willing to do them if it eased his concerns. "I will talk to you later
then?"
He nodded. "Of course, little one. Enjoy your evening."
With that the line closed.
Melora decided she'd had enough for one day and left to go to her
quarters. She was feeling more positive about the situation. In
fact, she probably surprised her staff by saying "Good evening," on the way out
the door.
To be continued....
