"Good morrrning," she growled and went straight into her office.  She
watched the vid and her tail began swishing behind her.  <[That's
impossible,]> she murmered in her native language.  <[He got hurt.  He
loves her.]>  This was lunacy.

She responded to the press inquiries as she'd been told, by directing them
all to the PR people, and then tapped her console to call Matt Brennan.

Matt was still in Carrhae's house when the call came through.  "Brennan here."

"Hello Matt.  I just got back and hearrrd the news rrreporrts.  This is
insanity.  I was with you and I will back you up any way I can."  He could
tell she was agitated.

He couldn't help but smile a bit at her indignation.  "Thank you," he said 
honestly.  "I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.  This is obviously some ill-thought 
out fishing expedition on their part and since the waters are barren, they'll catch 
nothing in their nets."
