Eleanor finished telling her story to the president. She was sitting in the Oval Office with nine members of her crew standing behind her, all naked. The president had secret service agents behind her, all clothed. It was an amusing contrast. Eleanor got the impression that the president had found all this bare flesh a…
Back to the Federation High Command and Admiral Jelna. Commiserations for the loss of Commander Grainne and confirmation that Eleanor was now captain of Mother Knows Best.
