Andorian with annoyance.

Lorin was hedgy, "I suppose it's possible but I would be very concerned
about being caught short-handed. Would you accept a 5% increase instead for now
with the hopes that the savings will balance. We could add some clause to allow
me to add the 3% at a later time if needed?" |
