She wasn't pleased that she had not been informed of the prisoner, but it wasn't technically her show. She let it be. "And those would be?"

"Well, the firrrst is done. I apprrrove. I will worrrk on the second. As to the thirrrd..." She flexed her claws. "I think it might be nice to surrrprrise them with a felinid face. Orrr severrral." She paused to let them comprehend what she'd said. "I spoke to my homeworrrld. As of last night, the Caitian forrrces have been temporrrarrily rrreassigned to me forrr coverrrt operrrations."

"I think they should stay herrre forrr this one," she said. "The felinids believe they arrre the bosses, that humanoids and Klingons arrre inferrriorr. We should let them think that forrr now. It will be easierrr laterrr to send yourrr teams in, because they won't be expecting 'inferrriorr' species to be used as spies or to infiltrrrate the colonies they contrrrol. I will lead, and yourrr teams will appearrr as though they arrre subjugated to my command; 'lackies'. When the time comes for a full strrrike, it will confuse them. They won't be expecting it to be led by a non-felinid, so may not take it serrriously, allowing us morrre time to gain contrrrol of the situation. They may just see it as a slave rrrevolt rrratherr than a militarrry operrration."
