Jez couldn’t help but smile at Commander Tallion's oversimplification of the matter, he couldn’t help it he was a man after all. Not that she would ever say that to him, as she respected the Commander, he was like an older brother, or even a father figure to her. However, what she had to say couldn’t be helped.
Jez looked at Commander Tallion “Excuse me Commander, with all due respect you have missed my point completely, Confucius states: "The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved". Said Jez.
“ Commander this suggests that a truly wise individual always considers the potential for insecurity, even in their most familiar and seemingly safe spaces, and plans accordingly. This perspective applies not only to personal well-being but also to the safety and stability of a state and its people. In other words maybe the President isn;t free to talk in her own office, there could be too many people working against the best interests of her Government, thus by inviting her aboard our ship, she may be free to discuss things more openly, away from so many prying eyes and ears. She just might be waiting for an invitation.” Added Jez.
Jez then turned to Commander Velaul. “Commander, what if someone is monitoring the President's communication, and she is unable to safely make a request for a meeting and is hoping that we reach out to her, that way she can save face?” Said Jez, her tone factual. “Oh and Commander Historically, just about every coup has been by the Military or government elites, so with that in mind can we really trust the General?” Added Jez so the Commander could mull it over.
