>Ambassador again, "I apologize-all of your feedback to me is important and >necessary." He took a breath, "I support the move to SF HQ because of the >amount of civilian traffic we have routed through Spacedock. No matter how >good Security is, anytime you have a cluster of high brass, you are going to >unwantedly encourage negative activity and it is unfortunate. Let me assure >you that just because there is not visible activity it does not mean these >are unaddressed cases. I believe that with recent actions taken by Commander >K'Tael we should be able to close some of these cases shortly and I believe >we will see a tie-in with the recent attacks on Admiral Lasiter. The time is >being taken to make sure the proper results of arrests and convictions are >obtained. I am not at liberty to give further details on that but I believe >you will appreciate the results of the ongoing investigations." >"As for the Staff at R&D, I am pleased and impressed. While there are some >understandable hard feelings over the departure of my predecessor, the staff >have adapted to my Management style and intentions for the department. I am >going to realign the department so the Chain of Command currently of myself >and my Assistant Department Chief will be followed by Project Commanders who >will be responsible for each individual project. This will add additional >on-site accountability in addition to my visits and reports received. >Further inspection of the previous mismanagement in accounting, delivery of >services and procedural processes can only assist in this process. I will be >pleased to send updates to this group as needed." >"Do I believe I can take these two programs? Truly I do. We are in a time of >change. This time of change requires steady dependable leadership. Admiral >Lasiter has trusted me in this dual role and as Spacedock's investigations >continue and resolve, so will the current issues I've raised here today >regarding R&D. I am asking for your trust and the opportunity to do so." >"It sounds like you have some good ideas, Admiral. The important thing for >someone in your position is to make sure to put the job first. Ego and >distraction cannot be allowed if we are going to have the type of research >that we need to make sure that the Federation and Starfleet are on the >cutting edge of innovation," said T'Sar. "How are things going with some of >the other projects your team is working on?" "Thank you...and I agree completely. As I stated earlier, I would like to move Medical Research to Starfleet Medical. Project Thunderclap is my overriding concern. Right around the time I took over R&D there was an incident involving an explosion. There were casualties and injuries. We were making progress on it and a prototype-the USS Explorer-will be used on an upcoming mission. We have restarted our work on it but the cause is still under investigation. Again a Safety Officer to oversee this project would be crucial." Sharez tapped his stylus on the table. "Has a cause for that
explosion been identified?"
(Admiral?)
