Casela let out a deep breath. “Alright everyone, that was good. You still need to practice on your own or in pairs, when you have time. Dismissed.” She was finished with her mandatory leadership role for the day. She really resented Manhattan for that. She left the training holodeck and because she was still required to be part of “the team” she headed to the lounge with everyone else.

As they all settled in, getting drinks and tables, Casela ordered a water with lime and went to sit at a back table, where for the most part she went unnoticed unless someone was purposely looking for her. It was late, 2330 and she had to be up for 0600. This hour in the lounge were exhausting for her.

Even Manhattan had a short breath after the training. The time passed signing paperworks made little but considerable changes. He had some bruises as the fight was prolonged by the fierce Lieutenant but it was worth all the pain and the effort.
After all of that it was time to rest (perhaps) and as treat a good ice tea was the choice.

Noticing that Casela was somewhat isolated, Erve knew it would have probably been a long discussion if he ever decided to sit and get to talk with her… but he did not backed up and instead decided that a talk was necessary. Sitting in front of the Lieutenant sipping the tea, Erve cleared his throat and broke the ice “Good game, Lieutenant. I really loved how you managed the Team and the fight… I know you don’t like such things but I see some potentiality in you.” He tapped the glass looking the ice swirling around the content “Do you have something to tell? I am sure you do.”

Casela sat back as Manhatten approached. She was tired and in no mood to be ‘molded’ into the image of a good RTF agent. She shrugged, “I might not like it, but I’m good at teaching.” She’d done it several times over the years. Especially with children. Giving them the opportunity to make a better outcome for themselves. “Irida has a natural talent for any weapon, but is too distracted by her need to create rumors. Niven is competent and learns fast, but doesn’t trust her instincts. Derrick has an eye for anticipating his opponent, but faulters at close range. Ut’jwa is fierce and battle hardened, but is vary aware of his wife and what might happen to her. Lihew is competent and well versed in weapons, but is too aware of any female in the room. Allowing them to distract him.” She had thoughts about Manhatten but decided to be diplomatic. “And they are all unobservant. None of you,” she emphasized, “knew I was in the room. That could get you killed.” She sipped at her water.

“That’s why they need a lead. You know, they were to be honest the dirt of other ship. Outcast of the ARU and RTF programs. This can seem weird because we are the Flagship but yet we have the worst RTF complement in the fleet. Either way the Second Squadron is the best among these morons, at least they are willing to get better and know what their border is. The first Squadron is like the opposite. They’re good but hell, they think every other squadron is twenty levels down the sea…
For me I would say they are the best chance to get you out alive, but without someone who can lead them properly they will remain what they are.” He then also sipped his drink. Knowing it my bother the argument, Erve gave a long pause to the conversation and after another sip or two he laid down the glass to talk again “Tell me Casela, you’ve described the Second Squadron except me. I want your opinion.” He went straight to the point.

Casela ignored his primary queston for the moment. “If 1st squadron is such a problem, I suggest you separate them immediately. As ship’s counselor we already have a problem with RTF thinking they are better than everyone else on this ship. Having an elitist team within the ranks of RTF that thinks they are better than the other ‘elites’ is dangerous. It’s dangerous for half this crew to think they are above the rest of the crew simply because of some letters attached to their rank.” Casela stopped and sipped her drink. “They do need a leader, my question for you Erve Manhattan is why not you? You’re the head of RTF on this ship. You set the tone and attitude for the whole division. Which now brings me to your question, about your self. I was joking about actually taking you and the Cmdr on at the same time, but it would have allowed you both to work together and show a sense of cooperation between the regular Star Fleet officers and RTF. Instead you offered and goaded myself and Cmdr Raauhl. And though it was in your mind to show your own skill, it also showed to the other RTF members that RTF IS better than the rest of the ship, or at least needed to prove that fact.” She avoided mentioning the Cmdr. Raauhl had specifically asked to stay for the training so he could learn from the Manhattan and refused to spar one on one with him for the simple reason that he wanted avoid that kind of dynamic on the ship. Manhattan needed to see for himself the power and influence he had to help unify the ship for himself. In the long run Raauhl out ranked him in the overall ship, but when it came to RTF only Cobb really out ranked him, if that. There was too much opportunity for the ships crew to legally mutiny if they wanted. “You are incredibly perfect for the position you hold. The question is what will you do with that power?”
