Kit decided the best course of action would be to play the ignorant
stuffed-shirt who listened politely and understood nothing; let this
commander hang himself. She also would start paying attention to the junior
officers, and maybe, if she was very lucky, find one that had the kind of
commitment and dedication she was looking for.
"I think we'll starrrt with a tourrr, Commanderrr, and you can brrrief me on
majorr Carrrdassian movements in the last five days, as well as yourrr
assessment of the situation." She said it as though she had no idea of what
was going on and knew nothing about Cardassians.
