(OOC: Is she the only member of the upper command there, and is she the
highest-ranking member there?)
She evaluated the situation. As in any 'organization', there were
moderates and radicals. Most people knew the Tellarite was a hothead by
nature, which negated his impact somewhat. But even knowing that, if
someone heard the argument enough, they might start to believe it.
(OOC: I need an answer to the first OOC before I decide what she's going to
do next.)
