CWO_Cole "Who is this En'Tan anyway sir?"

Major_Duffy: " its not Starfleet, its the Federation......and En'Tan feels that MNerrick's ways are what cost us so dearly in this war, so he did away with him and all his close contacts"

CWO_Cole "Merrick is what saved the Federation. like him or not..... that's how it is...."

Pfc_Dohiyi: " things could not be any less from tthe truth major ,the rest of the federation was fighting with us"

Major_Duffy: " You all have leave coming up, I suggest you take it...and make the most of it. I dont know when I will be seeing all of you again, but I hope its soon"

CWO_Cole "Can't I? I'm doing a good job so far."

Pfc_Dohiyi: "Lt i think maybe we should do some investigating on this new pres and let the spirits guide our search... i feel something is very wrong here"

CWO_Cole "It's just every time I'm put into a command situation I get this feeling of utter dread."

PFC_O`Shay ACTION: smiles....."Yes, you excel at being your own worst critic. But you need to look at how the people around you respond. THey respond just fine. If you keep letting it eat at you, eventually though, you won't be able to command at all"

CWO_Cole "On that note.... does anyone know anything on this En'Tan person?"

Lt_Xanatos: "Our jobs here are done... I'll get in contact with my resources and see what they coem up with, but it seems all for naught right now."
