"I think that can be said of the high command of the fleet in generrral," she said, her ire up now. She wished now, more than ever, they were Klingons. She'd end this once and for all. "Prrresent company excluded, of courrrse," she said, overly polite. She'd give him the same apathetic courtesy he'd given her. "Ineffectiveness, howeverrr, is something that should not be judged hastily. The people I am eliminating frrrom my deparrrtment have a historrry of yearrrs of lacklusterrr perrrforrmance. Adirrral Lasiterrr, on the otherrr hand, has a carrreerr of harrrd-worrrking, diligent command. Judging him on less than a yearrr in a position that has stymied his prrredecessorrs forrr yearrrs and is an almost insurrrmountable task seems like an excuse to me. Just what method, exactly, would you use, Admirrral, to rrremove Lasiterrr frrrom his position?"
