I had a particularly difficult command a few years back. One of the best ways I'd found to let men merely get their issues out was to allow carefully monitored matches. [Monitored, of course, was not controlled, nor overly bound by rules.] As officers were required as well, it did marvels for letting situations sort themselves out.

[failureisntachoice]

So you want me to fight everyone that tries to say something about it? [ Not that she sounds like she minds. ]

[use_everything]

Oh not nearly so tedious. I would merely want a venue for soldiers who would decry a woman for being weaker to be prove themselves or be silent.

[failureisntachoice]

How public could you make those? Because it might stave off future idiots from wasting my time if they see how bad the others get pummeled.

[use_everything]

Oh, that wouldn't be an issue at all. I've ... decent control of the media programming of three planets. I try not to utilize it, but there are times that it might see use.

[failureisntachoice]

You'd broadcast it over three planets?

[ This might be the most beautiful thing she's ever heard. ]

[use_everything]

Sergyar will have limited reception, but as it's only a military base, there's merit to the expense.

[failureisntachoice]

It'd be even better to broadcast it at a military base. They could learn a few things.

[use_everything]

Miles had suggested it be required watching for last year at the military academy. I'm inclined to agree.

[failureisntachoice]

You know just the right things to say to a woman.

[use_everything]

And Cordelia says I have no sense of romance.

[failureisntachoice]

Have you offered to let her beat the crap out of people and let three planets watch? Because that has me swooning already.

[use_everything]

I would actually seek to prevent that. If she had vent to half of her frustration I'm not sure I'd have any men of fighting capability left.

[failureisntachoice]

You could let her take it out on your enemies then. She'd make a decent dent.

[use_everything]

Hm. No, I have an accord with her - to not let a situation get so bad that she would need to.

[failureisntachoice]

Good thing you have me now to help. I don't plan to let anything get that bad if I can stop it.

[use_everything]

[His expression blanks for a moment, and then smooths into something almost softer.]

Ah. [It's little more than an exhale.] I ... appreciate the help. Quite truly.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She frowns at the change in expression, unsure how much she should read into it, and shrugs. ]

It's help I want to give. I don't know how relevant that kind of help will be here, but it's still available.

[use_everything]

[It's gone in the next moment anyway.]

Cordelia is fond of saying that the impossible just takes a little longer to achieve. Or something thereabouts. I wont discount it.

[failureisntachoice]

I'll be sure not to challenge her to anything then. At least not anything dangerous.

[use_everything]

I've done my due diligence in warning, then. Most don't get so much.

[failureisntachoice]

I appreciate the advantage. I've been trying hard not to screw things up.

[use_everything]

[He begins gathering the pencils together, using it as something to busy his hands with.]

She is quite remarkable, is she not?

[failureisntachoice]

[ She watches as he packs up. ]

Yeah, she is. If there's only one good thing that's come out of this place, at least I met her.

[ And the rest of them, really. ]

[use_everything]

... That sentiment I am quite familiar with.
