>He took a breath, "I will ask for your report momentarily but we have
another concern to discuss. I will be honest -- I am pleased to see you
came without >Lieutenant Knucklebiter. I do not doubt he is an amazing
assistant to you and you obviously work well together, however he is not
Command Staff.  I was >questioned after the meeting the other day about why
he was in a Senior Brass-Only meeting when I did not he would be attending
so I could make Admiral >Lasiter aware...honestly I don't like those kind
of questions. From now on Senior Staff means just that. Do you have any
questions?"

{Yes I do Sir. Would you have liked those space vermin loose in the
meeting? My waldoes cannot lift heavy items nor can my cilia. And an attemp
to move thecage with either would be very dangerous. Mr Knucklebiter is
not only my second, he is my hands at sometimes, Sir. I find it amusing on
many levels that the Federation cries out "Join us in Equality and
Brotherhood", yet insist on rules regulations and equipment that is
singularly suited for bipedal humanoids."}

"Then in that case a clear exception would be acceptable. May I make a
suggestion then that we find another second and make Mr. Knucklebiter a new
title-such as Assistant Chief of Engineering. Would that work for you?" He
looked at Firehawk for agreement or denial?
 
Audra nodded silently back.  She appreciated that he was trying to meet the Horta halfway on this issue.  She was not sure that the Dildan was fully qualified for that title, but it would smooth things over nicely.  From what she could see, Knucklebiter and Shevab worked well together.
