Jora bowed her head to excuse her Chief of Staff. She knew where he was off to...
meeting with other officers to plead the same case.
"You have a good officerrr therrre," commented Kitanya, looking after him. "Forrrtune
favorrrs the leaderrr who surrounds herrrself with such people."
"Thank you. He is one of those officers that while I hope he goes far in his career,
I equally hope that he says right were he is... with me. Alexander has saved my
sanity on more than one occassion. What about your staff? Were you in good hands
when you came to Special Operations?" she asked.
"Well, no, not to begin with. I inherrrited people, with the condition I make no
changes immediately. Some werrre bad, and some werrre not bad, but ill-suited to the
positions they werrre in. The chief of staff was a good officerrr, but not a good

powerrr and no ability to be
effective. Those things have rrrecently changed, forrrtunately, so once things calm
down overrr the changes, I feel we'll be a much strrrongerr deparrrtment. I made it
clearrr to everrryone that changes would come, and they knew that. Everrry new CO
makes changes in staff. And I rrrefuse to allow SpecOps to be the laughingstock of
the fleet anymorrre, so those who thought they could skate by werrre on notice."
"I would say that you are not only the one for SpecOps, but sor Starfleet as a
whole. Any aspirations on the top chair?" she asked casually, not really inferring
anything. However, she was part of one fo the bigger factions.....
