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.*
*He looks at him for a moment. There are certain tells he's learned to pick up on from him.*
Given his body language, the Aurelian Ambassador is seriously considering what he's said. And from your own, it seems that there's something that you're considering as well.
*He stops rubbing his jaw and looks over at Spock for the first time in the conversation. He hesitates for only a moment. He's never held back on his intuitions with Spock. He's not about to start now.*

*He rises from his chair slowly, still favoring his not quite fully healed wound.*
I want to reread the autopsy report Bones wrote. While I'm doing that, double check with the head of conference security. Make sure he hasn't missed any precautions.

*After inclining his head slightly, he heads off to find the head of security and spends some time going over the protocols that are in place. He can see that his questions are irritating the man a bit, but after what had happened on the ship, not to mention the captain's suspicions, he wants to be sure he's very thorough. And Vulcans are known for their rather near infinite patience.*
I believe you suspect as I do that the Orions aren't quite finished yet.

My father can be quite persuasive.

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.
