"And what would happen if we do not tell him and it comes out? It will
appear to be a coverup to hide a compromised commander-in-chief. The
president would have no choice but to fire both of us. This way, we bring
him into the matter at the beginning. Even if he goes against the
reaction I expect--and recommend against--and asks you to resign, he
could do it with a much less negative impact on Star Fleet Command."
Carrhae relaxed, and suddenly she was the old friend again.
"Samuel, I understand your concerns, but I ask you to put as much faith
in us as we have in you. I believe that if we call the president now, he
will support us and do so quietly."
