Vernette: Captain Devron...I appreciate input from all of my officers...and only when that input is based on fact and complete information. Now, you are free to develop strategies on the Trust ships that we have encountered. We have data and recorded information that allows us to quantify and the speed and maneuverability of the Trust ships that we have seen.
Vernette paused.
Vernette: We can safely say that The Bismarck, being part of The Trust navy, as well as being the most likely candidate to house and protect Trust leadership, has been outfitted with ablative armor. I seriously doubt that The Trust would NOT do this. They have had 2 years to retrofit this ship with their technology.
Vernette paused again. He glared at Devron.
Vernette: Captain...what makes you think The Bismarck is slow?
