> "Then you have picked a good day to do just that." he said smiling. "Shall we go in."
She nodded and went with him. >As they turned to enter the hall, another officer entered the doors just behind them. It was Rear Admiral Tyrus Lasiter, and he looked perplexed by something. Not at the two standing in front of him, but something else. It took nearly three seconds before he recognized that the two others were Starfleet. He was definately running over something in his head. > >"Oh, excuse me. Vice Admiral Kitanya, Commander, please excuse my manners." "Not at all, Admirrral," she said, noting his preoccupation. >"If you both will excuse me, I need to see Admiral Kettering." he said as he walked past them. > > "That was strange. He is one of the calm and collected ones." the Commander commented. "I know," she nodded. She wondered what Lasiter had told him after she'd left. It was something that bore heavily on the younger Lasiter's mind. "Well, let's get this show on the rrroad." She was preparing in her mind what she would say if Kettering wanted a showdown that night. She doubted he'd call her out so fast; he would have no real information and he didn't seem the type to get into a situation where he didn't know how it would turn out. But she was prepared, just in case. When she went in, she greeted people in a friendly manner, smiling, shaking hands, playing the politician. This had to look real, and she had played the game enough in her time to know how to proceed. She talked to everyone, including those in the Kettering camp, just to try and make them second-guess themselves.
