Thursday, and it hasn't been a great weekend.)

>"You would be very correct, sir.  Naraht and I have been fielding *lots*
of calls from officers insising to speak with you.  I have also been taking
calls from staff officers looking for some off the cuff information about
your interest in the CinC's chair.  Is there something that I should know?"

She nodded.  "I think it's about time you and I had a hearrrt to hearrrt."

(resp?)

"No," she said, shaking her head.  "I have no rrreal interrrest in that
job.  I neverrr have.  But forrr now, it's necessarrry that people believe
that I do.  One perrrson in parrrticularr.  Vice Admirrral Ketterrring."

(resp?)

She explained what was goingon with Kettering, his lust for power, his
plans to get himself declared CinC regardless of the cost, her suspicions
about his involvement with disappearances of flag officers and tied it all
into the context of the current intergalactic situation.  "To use an
Earrrth example, this is just like Hitlerrr in 1933 getting himself
declarrred Chancellorrr, and everrry student of militarrry historrry knows
wherrre that led.  Ketterrring's in bed with the Bajorrrans, the dominant
and most likely corrrupt powerrrhouse in the Federrration, and he's
alrrready surrrounded himself with his band of thugs that would, of
courrrse, be put into positions of powerrr, like mine.  After all, Special
Operrrations in 1940's Gerrrmany was called the Waffen SS.
