Steven paused to consider what he was about to say. It would likely mean the difference between possibly offending the Admiral and figuring out exactly where he stood with his new assignment. "Admiral, I don't want to step on any toes here, but I'm very new to this section, so I don't know any office or section politics that may have developed over time. What I would like to know is if I'm possibly being used as fodder for one section or department to annoy another. If so, I need to know which side I'm on and who might possibly get pissed off and try to impede my progress on this mission or try to misdirect me entirely." He took a deep breath and braced himself for any possible explosion. [reaction] [OOC: *the player ducks for cover too, since she doesn't know what the Admiral's temper is*] Liridian out.
