2322.Q2
Thank the great bird of the galaxy for Commodore Taggart, is what you're thinking as you take your turn at the lectern. What had been shaping up to be the finest blow-torching a Commander had received in these venerable halls in many a year instead became a - sometimes grudging - acknowledgement for the response to the Hishmeri slave raids. Naturally, President Okaar was not backwards in coming forwards to claim her share of the credit. The emergency bill authorising the reinforcements you were able to give Commodore Taggart no doubt had a major impact. Even old man Stesk gives an approving nod at the psychologically insightful plan.
Some fire still continues to fall on Admiral Lathriss and the luckless Commodore Min-Jee Lee. After all, not everyone is privy to the arrangement with the Gorn. And even among those who are, there are several biting criticisms levelled. Even you have to take some time to appreciate and savour just how many dimensions of barbs are contained in the comments levelled at you by Councillor sh'Arrath. As the kingmaker-in-chief of the Expansionist faction, she is no great fan of these shenanigans. But at the end of the day, you know this way is the best way to avoid long-term conflict. Thankfully, the quarter that could have provided the loudest row was, in the end, the quietest; the Hawks are loathe to criticise the distributions and actions of Admiral Lathriss, as the first Amarkian to achieve that rank in Starfleet. In the end, you suppose, interplanetary politics is a crock.
