Kheren glanced at his First officer with pride in his eyes. Not only was he restoring order by example in his proper application of meeting protocol, but his very question showed that he had kept his focus despite all the distracting emotionalisms in the room.

The enemy of my enemy is my ally... even if he is also my enemy, Kheren quoted silently to himself. Good thinking, Number One.
