Kit was getting a clearer and clearer picture of events at this base, and it 
frightened her - badly.  Because if this was indicitive of the rest of Spec 
Ops...  She decided that she would order a full scale evaluation of every 
command under her control as soon as she got back.

"I will look into yourrr allegations, Mrrr. Rrrusco, because they concerrrn 
me grrreatly," she said with all seriousness and respect.  "Intelligence is 
crrritical to Spec Ops and bad analysis is extrrremely dangerrrous, as you 
unforrrtunately know all too well."  She pondered for a moment.  "How 
widesprrread arrre these prrroblems" she asked, sure that unit commanders 
talked and shared their complaints behind Brell's back.

(resp?)

"I see," she said, her tail flicking dangerously behind her.  "I will speak 
to them about it individually as they rrreturrn, also."  She was so angry, 
she wanted to simply relieve Brell of his command on the spot and take over, 
but she couldn't do that, and that made her even more aggravated.  "It will 
be taken carrre of beforrre I leave, that I prrromise you, Lt. Commanderrr."

(resp?)

"Onto the final thing.  You mentioned a possible firrrst strrrike forrrce 
being assembled by the Carrrdassians.  This is the firrrst I've hearrrd of 
it.  Could you enlighten me a little?"  By her tone, Russco could tell that 
she was very angry, not at him whatsoever, but that this was the first she'd 
heard of this situation.
