Velin carefully observed the six nonhuman creatures. Their eyes revealed reverence, and as expected, they had undergone Mind Distortion through magical equipment.
However, this force was originally under O'dor's command, with Cassius managing it on his behalf, so there was nothing for Velin to worry about.
