Here? They'd never had a thing to cover up. The Botany Bay, and Khan, had been found by the Enterprise. And they'd never been involved. Oh, Julian wouldn't be surprised if they had been, now that he knows--they've tried pulling him into their ranks now, too.
He'd suspected that the man was, somehow, one of the 72. What he hadn't expected was to hear that name in particular, and it shows. His eyes widen, he pales, before he can master his reaction. By then it's too late. He knows even that split second of visible reaction was enough to make it plainly obvious that he knew exactly how significant that name was.
But he's not bolting. He's not calling for Security. Yet. In reality, at this moment, he has no idea what to do. He should by all rights call for assistance--but he knows just how simple it would be for him to mow down everyone in this room before they could even get there.
