Upon reading ages ago that a figure was stood at the back of the room during the conversation, I rewatched the scene again. I have the ability to zoom in on my tv and also pan across the page as I wish. I did this and saw that it IS actually Velaris stood in the shadows. Albeit wearing a white collar. Bit definitely is her.
is she visible in the fullscreen version (4:3 aspect ratio) of the film or just the widescreen (16:9) ??

I have to re-watch it......but wait he said to Kirk....'I don't know whether to congratulate you or not Jim' (riight after the meeting) and then McCoy says 'I wouldn't'
So he did leave, but who knows if he was listening some where
I just rewatched that scene, and the person in the background was too out of focus to identify by my eyes.
Actually, I ended up rewatching the whole movie. It's still great! They should've brought Nick Meyer back for every movie since. I love the attention to detail on the sets, and the 'anachronisms' - fire extinguishers, paintings on walls, cooks in the kitchen, etc. A nice touch, I thought, were the metal cabinets above the stovetops - how the metal was stained/heat damaged from being over the burners. The Enterprise really looks 'lived-in' and not like a movie set.
Also, I've been re-reading my Sherlock Holmes collection lately, and Meyer's Holmes fandom really shines though when Spock plays detective, and in some of the dialog: Chang's 'You have a singular wit, Doctor'. The word 'singular' used in that fashion pops up three or four times in every Sherlock story.

Totally agree, Nick Meyer should have directed Star Trek Nemesis
See, I knew it was Valeris...even if the collar is wrong. But then maybe she snuck into the room under partial disguise with a different uniform that wouldn't indentify her as a junior Enterprise officer not authorized to be in the briefing?
Oh, I jadn't noticed that other folks had mentioned that it was the 'ADC'
So that's good.
The girl walks in that direction after introducing the CinC.
If anyone wants to post a new picture it is best to turn up the brightness for the shot. It is clearly the asian girl when the brightness is brought up.
As long as the picture is very dark, it is very hard to tell.
Also in the movie the asian lady is in the beginning of the Kirk/Spock conversation and then later she has left.

No doubt to report to Carthwright about what she saw go down between kirk and spock...
I know that... But she could have been a holdover from cartwright's administration as CinC and still have been loyal to him... Or she could have just been a highly placed member of the conspiracy.
Indeed... It's what makes conspiracies so much fun.
Hell, maybe Spock confided in her and told her himself. Before the incident of course.
One of many silly plot devices in TUC: Why would they tell the court reporter (and everyone else on the ship) via intercom who the statement is going to be taken from?
To make sure their killer showed up to try and silence them.
I know that! And so should have Valeris. That was such an obvious trap that not even a Pakled would have gone into it!
Routine "attention all hands" announcements are common on present-day navy ships, and if Starfleet followed that practice, the court reporter announcement wouldn't have seemed out of place. Meyer was always sticking bits of naval tradition into his Trek movies, like the bells and bosun's pipes in Star Trek II.
Unfortunately, Star Trek VI was, AFAIK, the only time such "attention all hands" announcements were ever shown on a Starfleet ship, so instead of looking like a routine announcement, it stood out like a sore thumb.
The other "attention all hands" announcement Meyer put in Star Trek VI is annoying too. It says "all officers to the bridge". Either Enterprise was seriously understaffed, or most officers ignored it.

Baird is an idiot....he thought Geordi was an alien
Sure it was a trap, but how was she to know if they were talking or not? either way she was screwed, at least she went in with a phaser instead of being arrested in the bathroom
