"The first option?" Kallus asked, raising an eyebrow." Useless. Completely irrelevant to our current situation—this is what you're calling our current situation?"
He looked over his admirals. They nodded, firm in their stance. The option had merit long-term, but for the immediate need at hand, it simply wouldn't do.
"Okay, I understand," said Kallus—not with disappointment, for he knew the first plan held strong, even excellent, potential in the long-term. Just not for their immediate needs.
Accepting that, he continued, "Now, onto the second option. What are your thoughts?" he asked his admirals once more.
Before anyone else could speak, Admiral Renn straightened. With a quick glance toward Admiral larkovis—who returned an almost imperceptible nod—she stepped forward, facing the central holo where Kallus stood, silent and commanding.
