"I see." he said flatly, but in a way that his old friend would
know he was seriously not happy with the events. "I would expect nothing
less. Handle things as you see fit." he continued.

"Of course, Admiral. Thank you for the call. I will be returning
tonight as scheduled, at 1800 hours. I will read the news and complete my
vacation in my quarters. I will be returning to duty tomorrow morning. Of
course this still leaves you in command of things. Please see to it that no
one, and I mean no one, makes any statements to the press of any kind. They
are to be refered to the Starfleet Public Relations office. Please instruct
them that the standard answer to inquiries is that this is an on going
investigation, and regulations prohibit comment at this time. You may also
want to have somone call the President. I am happy to know that you have
things well in hand. I completely trust your handling of the matter until I
return. Is there anything else that I should know about?" Lasiter asked.
He knew that he could not order her to do anything, but she would comply
just the same.
