Doc was already on his feet as he made a vain effort to settle his Klingon friend but to no avail. He had turned his head around where he stood to listen to Ambassador Zhane.
"Mr. Zhane, I'm not the military tactician that you and the Commander are but I do know this, if we spread ourselves to thin, it's as good as not being present at all. Honestly, I would rather the Enclave focus it's resources right in Omega 49. In doing so, forces here can be close by should anyone try waltzing into our home world. So for the sake of the homeworld, don't deploy to Baffin although the sentiment is appreciated."
He then addressed everyone, "I've finally gotten my people to realize the seriousness of the threat not far from us, the very idea that they can easily come into Baffin and even occupy it so they have begun building up some fighters. What we can all use there is some training. I know I could. Yes, even I built one up!"
"Another factor is the fact that the ZDF is based close by. If we get some people there, that will be the backup we need.
He sighs, "and as much as I'd rather not entertain the thought, I think the Outcasts will give them a hard time in the Taus as well. It's no secret how good they are in a fighter."
He again turns to Zhane, "So if you want to send a few men out for a training mission, we are game for it. I will waive the "no shooting" rule for a time and we can use an open part of the system."
