"Sir, if I was here to relieve you of command, I would have said so,"
t'Llhweiir said with far more calm than she felt. One of them had to
remain calm or the situation could degenerate beyond salvation and end
with the destruction of two careers and a very old friendship. "What I
am here to do is make certain that you are functioning, without any
coercion of any form, as Commander-in-Chief of Star Fleet."
"One moment, if you please." She tapped her combadge. "t'Llhweiir to
security team. Please admit Admiral Renaud. Also, Dr. Brennan will be
arriving shortly. Admit him upon his arrival."
(response)
While Renaud was entering, she again activated her combadge. "t'Llhweiir
to Brennan. Healer, would you report to Admiral Lasiter's quarters
immediately. If you arrive by transporter, you will likely need to come
to the entrance. Security will allow you inside."

t'llhweiir ends
