"Admiral, I am also concerned for their safety. However, averting a wars
with these feilinids and the Venasians has to be avoided. Trillions of lives
could be at risk. Not to mention the survival of the Federation. I am very
worried that Captain Boulay has gone missing. Except for keeping on top of
the local commanders, there is little we can do. As for Admiral Bedru, she is
on a mission of vital importance. One that could have a great impact on the
Venasian situation. She is with good people, and will be backed up by a
Starfleet task force. She is in good hands. I am sure that she will check
in with you soon. Since nothing can be done about Captain Boulay or Admiral
Bedru I suggest that we apply our efforts on something that we can do
something about, the Felinids and the Venasians."

Feylan nooded, agreeing with the arument.
Lasiter continues, "Admiral t'Llhweiir is departing on the USS Explorer for
Pacifica. I want you to send some people with her. Who can you send?"
