  972.  
  973. [8:02][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Due to her blabbering we could've lost the faith of the ladyspeaker and in turn could've lost the faith of making change possible, all because she spoke out of turn, out of place

  984.  
  985. [8:06][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:steps to ensure something like that wouldn't happen again or atleast would be less appealling to her, however I have seen no such reprimand

  993. [8:10][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Perhaps the malicious nature of her french blood. *he joked, but then turning more serious* I think she needs leashes to hold on to, give her to much freedom she becomes more oblivious to the others
  994.  
  995. [8:12][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Leashes may be the wrong example, but I do think she needs to realise that certain actions have consequences be it personal or crewwide, She has too much faith in her own pseudo-knowledge than her

  1001. [8:15][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:How do you think I feel with our newest acting ensign? The times I have Cynna over i try my best to teach her about respect and work ethic, especially now she is an acting ensign

  1017. [8:22][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:the current zone we are in.... Yeah they should be on the citadel.... *sighs loiudly had the what Svard said* Arwen I fully agree.... There are certain things we just can't ask of them..
  1018.  
  1019. [8:22][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:I am terrified Arwen, what if the dark or one of her agents decide to look over Phebia while we are there
  1020.  
  1021. [8:23][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:What if the ship gets attacked and she has to be the one responsible of getting people out

  1040.  
  1041. [8:32][DOIC1]DGM Mirage@Illuic:> is not even touching on the issue iwth Chalons herself. Even if maybe I know one thing worth trying there.
