> "If it helps, I was thinking of using Caitians to deliver a
predetermined message to those enslaved by the peoples under the rule of
these new felines. Perhaps if they learned that there were others willing
to stand up with them, or a way out for them they would be helpful to our
efforts to keep a war out of our back yard... But that was just a thought,
Admiral." Black added.
It was an ancient principle of warfare, using the citizen population
against the enemy rulers. "As I said, we'll have to wait and see. I will
call the Corr'thaval tonight afterrr ourrr trrraining session. By then
I'll have at least some idea of the capabilities of the Caitians, and I'll
be able to prrrovide a morrre solid arrrgument to them. If they werrre
Starrrfleet, I wouldn't have a prrroblem with it, but because they'rrre
planetarrry defense, I need my goverrrnment's perrrmission to send them
into harrrm's way." The words had to be said, because they were true; Kit
had no more authority to send them undercover or into combat than would a
Rihannsu officer. But she was warming up to his idea, she just had to jump
through the hoops, like everything else in a bureaucracy.

"Well, let's see if Captain Polath is in good spirrrits tonight," she said
as they approached the cafeteria. "If this mission is a success, we'll
have to orrrderr some live foods forrr his trrroops as a celebrrration of
success." The thought of fresh gagh made her mouth water, but she
swallowed quickly to suppress it. It wouldn't look good to drool in front
of the crew. Most humans usually wondered if the Caitian who was drooling
was just hungry in general, or hungry for them.

She went in, keenly aware of her sash and straightening it as the doors
opened.
(Is the Klingon there? Are other SpecOps there?)
