Transcript

FEMALE VOICE: View communique?

ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Colonel. Situations described as 'fluid' rarely bode well. This lack of any pattern is indeed annoying. However, I have the utmost faith in your judgment, and can only ask that you keep your eyes and ears open at all times. Oh, yes. As to your inquiry regarding Captain Paulsen... Well, day-to-day personnel movement is not my really my domain. But, from what I can see in his bio-file, he's... Well, nothing more than a professional bureaucrat. I wouldn't attach too much importance to his presence anywhere in the galaxy. No. You'd do better to keep your attention tuned outward -- to the frontier. Good luck.

FEMALE VOICE: Record response?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: No.
