hasn't been a great weekend.)
{OOC: Ouch. Hope all is well. }
>"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."
Not knowing just how to answer, he simply said, "Aye, sir."
"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."
"Why? I am not sure that I understand, Admiral."
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.
"Now I understand. So, what's the play?"
