[Naked Crook]

Vernette sighed, and shook his head. Vernette: I would like to avoid pulling our ships off of their current assignments to chase down one rouge element. The fact is, The Trust has us on the defensive, and I cannot risk the security of our worlds to chase down one Spartan. Vernette shurgged. Vernette: That being said...I am forced to come back to the idea of counter-intelligence 101. Vernette grinned. Vernette: The prospect of getting The Trust into an armed conflict with Silverblur is a very tempting idea to engage. Some of ONI's finest work has been in false flag operations. However, as with all false flag ops...they carry extreme risk. Vernette paused, as he glared at Cochraine. Vernette: Be honest with me Captain; in your honest oppinion, what would it take to get Silverblur into a sustained conflict with The Trust? Do you believe it is possible? I ask because I feel you know this guy in a way that gives you a unique insight into his psyche. I am going to defer to your knowledge on this.
