"Otherrr than that? Nothing rrreally. I think we'rrre getting orrrganized
to the point of being rrready to starrrt ourrr majorrr operrrations. I'll
ask the Captains, though."

"Yes. He's a fool, and a nosey one at that. But I've handled him; even
got him excited about his 'duties'. He thinks I don't trrrust Black, but
that's exactly what I needed him to think, so it's worrrking out."
> "I am relieved to see that you are fairing well. A bit worn, but well.
>When do you think you will be returning to Spacedock?"
"I have to trrrain up the rrreinforrcements, but it won't take as long as
the firrrst time. The trrroops I have arrre veterrrans now, and they can
help trrrain. As to rrreturrning to Spacedock... Things have come up,
things imporrrtant to Cait. They arrre sending out a scientific team as
well as a full battalion of Caitian trrroops. I have yet to talk to ourrr
leaderrrs, but it's a verrry serrrious situation forrr my people, and
potentially, forrr the Federrration."

"Initial rrreporrts indicate that these arrre a forrrm of Caitian, sirrr.
A genetically engineerrred forrrm of Caitian. They have a similarrr
dialect, they have a similarrr social strrructurre to the Mikan Clan, and
the DNA shows genetic manipulation." Her face showed her disgust and
revulsion that someone would do this to her people. "The Kzinti we fought,
even though they werrre rrrelated to us in the distant past. But this...
Someone has turrrned ourrr people into these monsterrrs."
