"Good to hearrr. Now, I must be going. I have a few firrres to put

"Oh, Commanderrr Firrrehawk if you have a moment...." the cat said taking a

"I wanted to let you know that a squadrrron of ships from 9th fleet will be
coming in today. Should be about 6 or 7 ships, not much morrre than that.
Most will be in forrr rrrefit at the varrrious yarrrds and facilities that
arrre arrround herrre. Admirrral Tyrrrus Lasiterrr will be commanding the
squadrrron, please see to it that he has VIP quarrrterrrs and he is
prrroperrrly met. I would suggest that you handle that perrrsonally. The
CinC trrrusts you enough to ask yourrr opinions, so I would say that he
would trrrust you enough to meet his youngerrr brrrotherrr. Just
rrrememberrr that Tyrrrus Lasiterrr is not like his brrrother. He is morrre
flamboyant, and has a more powerrrful perrrsonality. I wold venture to say
that he is a blowharrrd. Just do not be afrrraid of him. The brrrothers
Lasiterrr have a little competition going,if you know what I mean....."
