"Commander Dais, I am sorry that you had to come in today in the middle
of a mess, but I am afraid that could not be helped. I am sure that
Commander Firehawk has brought you up to speed on things here?"

"Yes, sir.  I appreciate everything she has told me.  It seems like the
station has been experiencing a few months of excitement on a number of
fronts."

"I am glad to hearrr that.  Now I want to let you in a little secret.
With all of this mess going on the Brrrasss is very busy and a bit
tense.  Anything that you can do to play gate keeperrr for them would be a 
good thing.  Take carrre of the rrroutine happenings, and botherrr them with 
the details after they have been taken carrre of.   If therrre is anything 
that I can do forrr you just call.  Admirrral Lasiterrr is the same way."

Dais nodded.  "I appreciate the offer.  I believe that I understand my
responsibilities.  I don't think that I will have any problems with them."

"Good to hearrr.  Now, I must be going.  I have a few firrres to put
out and a few to prrreparrre forrr.  If you will excuse me."  M'Rrenn said 
standing up.

Dais joined hte Caitian as he stood up.  "Yes, thank you, Commander, for 
taking the time to talk to me this morning.
