"We should speak with Admiral Renaud about this. Find out just why he
thought it unnecessary to inform either of us, and what if anything the
Ambassador said regarding her departure."

"I am certain that I do not." he said not liking where the conversation has
turned, and not really caring if he showed it or not.
"We have no idea why she has departed, and we have done nothing to
determine just why she left. At the moment we are operating on supposition
alone, and that is not enough. Add to that the fact that there is absolutely
evidence that her departure has effected me in any way. I would think that it
is a bit premature." he answered.
