The time T'Lari had spent on Vulcan had helped her to recenter herself, but there was only so much she could take of her people's stoicism. It all seemed so easy for them to maintain their focus. And the more time she spent there the more she considered herself a failure. She'd always been more comfortable among the emotional races. It was an an odd contradiction.
So it was good to be back on the Yeager even if the ship was being sent into what was another potential conflict with the Cardassians. As the Captain gave the briefing her feelings were apparent. Sending the Yeager and its rather... direct... Captain seemed logical as a show of force, but it was certainly unlikely to defuse the situation. If the Federation Council wanted to avoid a shooting incident then Jennifer Braggins was perhaps not the best choice. It was therefore best to assume that trouble was coming; they expected an escalation, even if they didn't outright say so. As the human writer Will Rogers had once said, "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock."
She sat back in her chair slightly. She didn't have any questions at this time, and indicated it with a shake of her head. The Yeager's defensive systems were ready to go, and so was T'lari.
