He takes a drink as he prepares to speak, wiping his lips on a napkin he begins, "We were successful today and commend you all for the fine job that you did, but I am not as pleased with our success as some others. I think we could have done much better. She's a fine boat, but better equiped for speed than attack. I realize that the facilities at Tregere were limited and we also had limited time for refitting, but I'd like to see us add more ballistas and perhaps even something heavier. Also, the men did a fair job, but they haven't really had a chance to be polished into a team. Chandar had more time to work his people on combat and teamwork, while my men were engaged in the refit. I'd like a chance to do more drilling and training. I agree with Mr. Cardossa that we could better prepare the ship for various contingencies as well. All that said, under the circumstances we did quite well."</blockquote>
