*He joins him, looking down on the floor, watching his father speak for Coridan's entrance into the Federation.*

I believe you suspect as I do that the Orions aren't quite finished yet.

*He doesn't immediately speak. He's watching and listening to the debate but he's also chewing on something in the back of his brain.*

They put a great deal of effort into their operation on the Enterprise.

Yes, they did. So it would be logical to assume that they wouldn't give us so easily after expending such effort. It would also be logical to assume that they'd have a Plan B, so to speak.

*He watches as several delegates break into applause as his father finishes. Several others seems to be speaking among themselves, obviously considering what was just said.*

My father can be quite persuasive.

*He rubs absently at his jaw, another sure indicator that he's struggling with something internally.*

Yes, he most certainly can be. If he can persuade the Aurelian Ambassador, we'll be close to the two-thirds vote needed for admission.
