Y'Toi smiled.  "Ah, but you are asking my opinion, Captain," she replied,
putting an interesting emphasis on the rank.  It was not *quite*
disrespectful.  "I have given it to you.  I have also suggested what I
believe Admiral t'Llhweiir's reaction will be.  Take it for what it is
worth."

She stood.  "Thank you for the coffee.  Good day."

With a nod, she turned and left.
