> <[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...]>
She regarded him with an understanding only a Caitian could give him right then. <[You are *not* an administrative lackey. You are a highly skilled and competant Starfleet officer, whose talents just happen to be organization, management, and politics. Those are skills to be proud of because few have them. And you *are* a warrior, in your own way. Each of us has something to contribute, M'Rrenn. I was brought up a fighter, you were trained as a diplomat. They're both useful at the right times.]> She sighed. <[I won't try and talk you out of it if you really want to go and fight the felinids. You'd be a damned fine XO on any ship, and the captain would be lucky to have you. But for goodness sake, leave the hand-to-hand stuff to the Marines and Spec Ops forces.]> (resp?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant??
