come to that....]> he said reflecting on the notion of an entire
population
of Mikan.  His next statement changed the topic a bit, <[I have been
thinking of asking for a transfer to the field.  I need more field
experience before I can reach Captain and higher.  Do you think that Rear

vessels?]>

She was taken aback.  M'Rrenn, the consummate politician and
administrator, wanted to be in the field, where his talents would be wasted.  <[Well, 
yes, any commander would be fortunate to have you.  But why Black?  That's the most 
dangerous command in Starfleet right now, and your talents would be
wasted on these marauding abominations.]>

   <[I would be a liar if I said that the felinids had nothing to do with the 
decision.  This is not the time for administrative lackeys, but for real warriors.  My 
time has come, I believe.]>  He answered with a slight chuckle.  <[Well, it was a 
thought...]>
