Sir, I would agree but if only Mr Knucklebiter had earned an advancement rather than just to settle a minor point of protocal. There are many Senior officer meetings where aides are also in attendance. Why is this station suddenly an excepttance?

Audra was about to speak when Shevab jumped in.

{But Commander, Lt Knucklebiter was the one who
discovered and after several varing attempts caught
some of them. So he knew about them already, and would
be included in the meeting. On a disturbing note,
there are references that may be the creatures in
various logs labeling them as 'gremlins'
for icidents of missing, moved or somehow damaged
equipment.I also have found some other disturbing
references that need to be discussed soon.}
 
Audra could easily see Renaud's frustration with Shevab.  The Horta was definitely focused on what he wanted to be.  He seemed to have trouble giving way, even a little.  Compromise was not going to be easy.  It sounded as if he was fighting to win rather than actually in the right.
 
"Commander, I think you misunderstand Admiral Renaud's position on the issue.  It is my understanding that Admiral Lasiter had called the briefing and insisted on it being for senior staff only.  Admiral Lasiter was not trying to be exclusionary and has already put forth an option for future situations.  I believe that it is a great way to resolve the situation.  From what I have heard here, Mr. Knucklebiter is a very able assistant that will help not only you, but the whole department in this new position."  Audra had let her temper out but she was already annoyed with the chip that the Horta had on his ... er ... shoulder.
