"What was it that you wanted to talk to me about, sir?"

� � He did nto answer right away.� He just took the small boat out in to the
bay.� After they had well cleared shore and were in the middle of the bay he
....

"I wanted to talk to you about quite a many things.� What are your plans for
your career in Starfleet?� Do you even plan on making Starfleet a career?
What your thoughts are on the structure of ST Command?� What do you think of
the Venasians?� That kind of thing."� Lasiter answered her.

The questions were not easy questions.  Some of them had easy answers, but
many were the type that the answers were not clear cut.  She decided to start
with her future in Starfleet.  "Well, sir, I went into Starfleet as a career
choice.  It has always interested me.  There are so many option.  You and and
the rest of the team on Spacedock are perfect examples of the possibilities
when you do your best.  I plan on working my way up in the ranks until I am
forced into retirment."

Audra considered the Command Structure of Starfleet.  "Well, sir, it all
looks good on paper.  You have experienced and proven people working their
way up into the Admiralty.  They in turn both lead and mentor younger
officers, or at least that is what the idea is.  Unfortunately, I think
sometimes people forget what that means.  They get more concerned about their
own personal goals and successes that they forget that true success is
achieved from a job well done.  That is what I see is wrong with Starfleet
and the command structure.  We have gotten selfish and self-serving."

"As for the Venasians, I tend to view them like a view most species as a
whole.  There are some good ones and bad ones.  Ambassador D'amondra seems
quite trustworthy, but I am not so sure about General Aamon.  They are
important to the power struggle in this quadrant, but we must not be too
quick to judge them as a whole.  Judging a multi-system power such as they
cannot be done with one sentence."
