> "Time is something that I need desprately, but is a luxury that I have little of. He will come at you with everything that he can. You will be put under a microscope that few beings are put under. If I may ask, why are you willing to do this? Or should I ask you are you willing to do this?"
"I am willing, sirrr. As to why, it is not because I want yourrr job. I am a warrrriorr, not a politician. I do not, norrr have I everrr desirrred publicity orrr fame. I do my job and I do it the best I can to serrrve the Federrration. That's the rrreason I am willing to do this. I know all to well what could happen if Ketterrring succeeds. The fleet would be split at a time we could potentially be looking at a two-frrront warrr. If that happened, the Federrration would be in serrrious jeoparrrdy, and I am not willing to let that happen." She looked down, knowing just how serious this was, knowing it could potentially cost her her life, or her career at the very least. "The Federrration has rrrarrely faced times like this, when everrrything hangs in the balance. Everrryone must play theirrr parrrt. I am in a position to play this one. It's not something I would have chosen, but it's herrre, in frrront of me. If I walk away frrrom it, frrrom the fleet, frrrom the Federrration, then I am not who I thought I was. I would turrrn my back on everrrything I believe in, and I would not be Mikan." She was scared. But she knew her duty.
