She thought for a few moments. "Yourrr brrrotherr trrrusts you, I think," she said finally. "He's not surrre what you'rrre doing, but he knows it's forrr a good rrreason. Keterrrring, on the otherrr hand, does not trrrust you. You may be rrright, that he has his eyes on the CinC position. But, the one good thing is that Ketterrrring trrrusts Tyrrrus, and frrrom what I could see, Tyrrrus is well-rrrespected. If you can prrrove to yourrr brrrotherr that yourrr intentions arrre good, you may be able to eitherrr get Keterrrring to follow you, orrr at the verrry least, develop a sizable schism, with Tyrrrus rrremoving a larrrge parrrt of Keterrrring's supporrrt frrrom beneath him if he does decide to oppose you. Therrre is a Vulcan as well, that would be worrrthwhile to courrrt. He wants to judge you on yourrr merrrits, not the hype the Tellarrrites push." She gave his name, as well as others and her impressions just from observing. "These werre the quiet ones, the ones that I sensed hostility towarrrd calls forrr immediate action, who wanted to see this out. They arrre all tirrred of the rrrevolving doorrr that has become yourrr position, sirrr, but therrre arrre still those who want to give you a chance. But therrre arrre some, like the Tellarrrite, that have alrrready made up theirrr minds. Be carrreful of them, but don't discount them. Tellarrrites can be foul, but if you win them overrr, they arrre extrrremely loyal. I sense that frrrom this one. He's loud and vocal and obnoxious, but if you prrrove yourrrself to him, he'll go to the mat forrr you. He doesn't want yourrr position, he just wants a leaderrr he can rrrespect. I think that goes forrr a lot of them therrre."
