"The pen works both ways, my brother." came the reply as the two men
embraced.
"I have, several times..."
"Well, think of it this way.... I saved all of my responses up for a
good visit." Tyrus replied now a few feet away from the CinC, sporting a big
smile.
"Perrrhaps I should leave you two to catch up?" M'Rrenn
interjected.
"Nonsense. Stick around" Tyrus replied.
"M'Rrenn, please tell that staff that they have a breather.
No staff meeting today, but we will meet tomorrow. Also, please let
Starfleet Command that there will be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the
proposal that was sent out today. Tell them to come with comments prepared,
but to keep them short. It is going to be a short meeting, and there will
be another oppertunity for comment. Schedule it to run through lunch, and
have food brought in. I want to finish chewing out my younger brother in
privite." Samuel said finishing the session wiht his chief of staff.
A seated Tyrus says with his feet on the coffee table, "So what
has been going on...."
The two men catch up on events in their personal lives. The CinC
tells his brother about his brush with death, and bouts with fatigue. He
neglected to mention the onset of Logan Crain Syndrome, but there would be
time for that later. Tyrus tells him about his wife and kids. One has
applied to Starfleet Academy the other is set to finish up at the Academy
this academic year.
Their conversation moves to some light business before they have to
part company. The older Lasiter for another press conference, and Ty for
his tour.
