[Naked Crook]

Jennifer: Sir, with all due respects, having you informed about Tye's past was not required information that would have been pertinent to a victory condition. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: As someone who is intimately involved with ONI, I am subject to many more procedures and regulations than you are when it comes to the sharing and distribution of information. Commander Vernette requested a Victor-997 debriefing - which, as far as ONI is concerned, placed me well within my rights to withhold the information pertaining to his involvement with The Trust. Jennifer paused, as she stepped towards Harrison. Jennifer: But...there is more to it then that. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: I couldn't take the chance that you would have reacted negatively. I was not prepared to endanger Tye's career, reputation, and future in the military. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and, personally, I owe him a lot...I owe him enough. Clearly, Tye had different ideas, but it was his truth to reveal, not mine. He has obviously decided to come forward with this, and he made his own choice. Jennifer then grinned. Jennifer: As for Nighthawk...the only reason he was privy to this information is because his is not part of the military. There was no risk involved with him having knowledge of Tye's past. Jennifer paused once more. Jennifer: I can fully understand that you may not like the fact that you were left in the dark. However, the decision to do that was my decision, and I will deal with the consequences. Any further objections that you may have to my decisions...you are more than welcome to voice them now. Jennifer then looked at Reynolds. Jennifer: The same goes for you, Captain.
