"Do you have some evidence to suggest that Admiral was acting  criminally or
incompetently?" t'Llhweiir asked coolly.

"My intention  at bringing this up is not to mar the Admiral's image or
reptuation or to  challenge his right to make decisions.  My understanding is
that we  have been asked to this Briefing to bring forth our perspectives of
what  happened out there and why.  Things went very bad out there, and it
does not necessarily reflect on the direct actions of anyone in this  room.
We have a leak, that is clear.  I have more experience with  the Brotherhood
than anyone else in this room, and I am concerned at the  fact that requests
and reports of officers on the scene did not seem to be  taken into account
with what was happening. The cover of the mission was  already blown and we
were ready for the picking if the Brotherhood had  planned adequately.  The
Centurian is a wonderful ship with a wonderful  commanding officer and crew,
but she is not the largest of ships, if you  don't mind my saying, Captain,"
said the Klingon as he looked toward  Fitzgerald.  "What was to say that a
larger starship was not going to  appear.  I don't know about you, but the
starship that appeared was  much larger than I thought the Brotherhood had
access to.  To put it  simply, we got lucky out there, sirs."

Ariel had been quietly listening to the conversation.  She was  surprised to
hear K'Tael bring these types of concerns up in front of the whole group. It
was the type of conversation that normally took place one-on-one  in the CO's
office.  She wondered if the Klingon would be keeping his  position for long.

t'Llhweiir knew that K'Tael was a very competent officer; however, she could let
him provocative comments go unanswered, nor was she going to allow them to
divert the purpose of the meeting.

"Calling for reinforcements could well have turned your 'luck' bad, Commander,"
she replied.  "If you wish to pursue your concerns about Admiral Smallwood's
decision, I suggest that you address them with him privately after this meeting
or request a board of inquiry into the matter.  This meeting, however, is not
the appropriate forum."

(responses?)
