"Thank you, Captain," she said, watching as they filed out and back to
their quarters.  Once they had gone, she relaxed, returning to her more
laid-back demeanor.  "They rrreally should have known betterrr.  I'll keep
an eye on them.  And I apologize forrr any inconvenience they caused you."

"I think I'll go change, firrrst.  These trrravelling clothes arrre nice if
I was going to be meeting a diplomat, but not much good forrr rrreal
worrrk."  Being an admiral meant she had to be presentable when she

want to talk to them firrrst beforrre we addrrress the joint teams.  Does
yourrr base have a cafe, orrr just rrreplicatorrs?"
