It was clear that Chase did not want to keep going with that
conversation. He opted rather to change the subject. "Are there any
other things we should clear up about our plan?"

Jaime shrugged.� "I've been at this job one day.� You probably have a better idea of what we need to do than I do."

"It is more a question of approach, I think," replied Chase. "Before we continue, I just want to make sure I understand what are target is. We are supposed to get a basic report on each of the representative species aboard the station, right?"

"Look, I get the impression that Richard didn't give you any more to
work with than he did me."
�
"The more you work with him, the faster you will come to realize that
Richard likes to keep things close to the hip. He only gives you the
least amount of information you need to complete your assignment."
Chase almost felt bad for Jaime. He remembered what it was like when
he first started in the cell. It wasn't easy. He still couldn't say
that Richard really trusted him. "The good thing is that it gives us a
chance to really impress him."

"I'd be satisfied if he'd just cut me some slack.� He only puts up with me because he needs James."�

Chase laughed. "I wouldn't expect him to lighten up any time soon. I have been with him for four years, and he still doesn't treat me much better than he does you." He placed his napkin on his plate since he was finished eating and lean back. "He is also more impressed with you than you think. You wouldn't be a part of the team or sent on any missions unles she thought you could handle it."
