[QUOTE="Job, post: 2803070, member: 37196"] James Starkweather quietly chewed his bite of food while watching Camille, letting the silence hang in the room. When he had finished swallowing, he slowly reached for his glass of wine, swirled the amber liquid and took a sip, then returned the glass to the table. He finally gazed back at Camille and calmly said [COLOR=Yellow]"Miss Bardier, I do believe that you've misinterpreted my response. Please allow me to clarify my position. An expedition to the Antarctic is a deadly serious undertaking. I go there not to satisfy my ego", [/COLOR] he said with a perfect look of sincerity, [COLOR=Yellow]"nor to prove the dominance of the male species, but rather to extend the knowledge of humankind. To answer the gauntlet thrown down by a harsh and unforgiving Mother Nature and to succeed where others have failed. [/COLOR] [COLOR=Yellow]"As the originator and commander of this expedition, I have the full burden of responsibility for the lives of every individual who sets foot on that ship and who later dares tread the treacherous ice at the dark end of the earth. I take that responsibility very seriously indeed, Miss Bardier. "My decision to reject your noteworthy application had as much to do with maintaining order amongst a crew of over fifty hardened men on a extended, cold journey as it did with the considerations of the toll that the elements and stresses would place upon a woman's biological and psychological makeup. I have journeyed alongside determined women in the past, Miss Bardier. You would not be the first. And while those expeditions ended in success, I'm afraid that they were always fraught with the tension that develops between the sexes.[/COLOR] James stared unflinchlingly into Camille's eyes and said [COLOR=Yellow]"I'm afraid that I cannot introduce such risks on this adventure; an adventure to an admitted deathtrap. Too many men have already died on that godforsaken continent and I cannot willingly subject my crew to any additional uncontrollable forces or stresses.
