>   <[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.]>

<[I was thinking that I would.  Well, unless the ship I was on got borded...]> he said 
adding levity and honesty to the conversation.  Not that it lacked honesty....

<[So, what do you make of all this?  With the Felinids, Venasians, and factions...]>
