"Politics is power. Nothing more. The sooner you grasp that reality the sooner we can all work together to attain proper order over TARA 3. The past decade has been spent in indulgence. It is time to control this indulgence and bring it under our order. Under our control." Chief Commander Cane squinted and gestured to Miko Kinnetta's dangling plasma rifle. "I see you are following orders."
"I always follow orders." Miko gripped his plasma rifle, preventing it from swaying on. "I'm curious Chief Commander?"
"Yes Miko? Curious? Of what?"
"Well, you say that we are bringing order and control on TARA 3by instituting Stage 8. It's being done and all I've seen so far are two women arrested for their choice of sexuality."
"If there's a problem Miko we can discuss it, but know this, these laws are now locked in effect and no one will change that fact. No one."
"I completely understand Chief Commander. I'm simply making my devil's advocate observation."
"I know how you are Miko. I understand too."
Chief Commander Cane walked over to his compu-book library and began flipping through the discs. "I think you should see this Miko."
"Why would I want to read one of your compu-books?"
"Its not for reading, it's for viewing." Chief Commander Taylor Cane tossed it to Miko who caught it in a snatch as it was hurled toward him.
"I take it's not a book."
"No. I'll tell you what it is Miko. You are going to interrogate Taleda Harrington and Jessica Ajuria. What's on that disc will give you what you need. Am I clear?"
"Crystal, Chief Commander. When would you like me to start these interrogations?"
"As soon as possible. You are granted to use whatever tactics you find discernible." Taylor Canesat down at his desk and looked Miko over.
