[Kalli Thorn]

Thorn had snapped out of her thinking out loud and was now considering what the FO had just said. The Acting CEO gave a slow and understanding nod that this was indeed something to consider. Her mind briefly wandered to a conversation she had engaged with a professor at the Academy, which discussed the hypothetical material decalithium. Trilithium was able to be used as an explosively unstable substance, but it also inhibited nuclear reactions. Thorn had done her own calculations and knew that although people worried about how destructive it could be in a conventional use, the idea that a large amount of it launched into a star could take out and entire system was a little fact that took her breath away.

It was a little comforting to her that the FO appeared to share her own distrust of Cardassians. Just as a ferengi could almost always be counted on to seek profits, a Cardassian could almost always be counted on to be looking for a way to obtain some sort of perceived power over others. Cardassians were also patient enough to play the "long game" to obtain their goals. Unfortunately, they often cared little about the consequences, as the previous mission had clearly shown. Still, all things considered, Thorn decided that she had already said more than she should. Her diplomatic skills were sometimes lacking and she was working on that.
