Bedru frowned.  They knew very little about the Ramesar.  "I am not
sanquine about recommending a planet in that region to the Venasians.  As
long as the situation is unstable, placing someone we hope to cultivate as
a strong ally would be a mistake.

"However, the South Hampton should further investigate the planet and
attempt to gauge the current situation with the Ramesar.  If the planet is
environmentally ideal, we will decide whether and how to inform the
Venasians."

"Is there anything further, Commander?" she asked.
