"Good," she said, and felt sorry for having to uproot him so quickly.
"Unforrrtunately, I will have to ask you to leave quickly. Admirrral
Lasiterrr is starrrting to put some events into motion, and therrre is a
thrrreat that hsa not yet been neutrrralized. The bad news is we arrren't
rrreally surrre what that thrrreat is."
(resp?)
"Arrre you awarrre that ships and people have gone missing lately, and that
an attempt was made to kidnap Admirrral Lasiterrr himself?" If he wasn't,
Kit would make sure his career made a smooth transition to another
department, as those events had made the news.

"I've had some of my people worrrking on it trrrying to passively collect
any inforrrmation they might hearrr, but we've gotten nowherrre. It's time
we actively sent someone out to discoverrr what's been going on. What
inforrmation is in the computerrr, and you'll have firrrst pick of ships
and perrrsonnel. Whateverrr is going on, I doubt you'll succeed by
fighting, so speed and a small grrroup would serrrve you best, I think. I
will give you a set of standing orrrderrs you may use to rrresupply and
rrrecrrruit at SpecOps outposts. I will also give yourrr name to Intell,
and you can get what help you can frrrom them, too." She looked him in the
eyes. "I know you'rrre the new guy, so if you don't think you'rrre rrready
forrr this assignment, tell me now. I don't want you getting hurrrt out
therrre. My people arrre too imporrrtant to me. I need someone and
you'rrre available, but if you don't think you can, be honest with me."
She hated writing letters, especially to the families of fools who tried
what they knew they could not do. She would not risk him unless he
honestly beleived he was capable.
