Bedru laughed. "It is my assessment, rather than Star Fleet's. But yes, I
somehow did not see you as being comfortable with the more indirect warfare

Bedru laughed. "It is my assessment, rather than Star Fleet's. But yes, I
somehow did not see you as being comfortable with the more indirect warfare
that normally comes with diplomatic assignments."
