>  "Good.  Then it is decided.  You will see something this evening.  How
much time before your meeting?"

"It's at 2230 hours," she replied.  (OOC: I think)

(resp? - assuming he dismisses her)

"I'll do my best, sirrr.  Thank you," she said, then left.  She gave
M'Rrenn a look as she headed out that said <why do we do these things for
the humans?> and headed back to her office.

First she prepared a secure message to Rear Admiral Jora via Captain
Alexander.  In it, she said how Jora's words had really made her think
about the situation and that she had reconsidered her complete refusal of
interest in the CinC's position.  She was interested in investigating just
how much support she could get for a run at the top seat, and asked Jora to
spread the word around a little to see who might be interested in backing
her.  She signed off on the message and sent it off.

Her next step was to change all her passwords and codes.  That would slow
down anyone snooping on Kettering's behalf.  She also backed up critical
files onto data chips and locked them in her vault.  Installing some
passive monitoring programming was the next phase.  The program would not
try to attack or infiltrate an invader, but instead would monitor and
record all information from the invader's source, including what files they
were trying to gain access to.  Lastly, she created some bogus documents
with interesting names and set them under a medium-high security clearance
- just enough to tantalize.  Anyone who got them and tried to use them
would immediately give away who they were and would be easily traceable.
They appeared just real enough to make someone believe they were her actual
files, but contained information she could prove was false - a nice red
herring for someone's fishing expedition.

Feeling she'd prepared herself as best she could in such a short time, she
headed down to Maryland for the night meeting.

(all yours.)
