-AIF Admiralty, Neviston-

"What do you mean, I can't be told the circumstances of the incident?! That cruiser is under my direct command! I was told by high command that the ship would be returned to my squadron in perfect operating condition, and now the thing is at a classified shipyard from due to a fried warp core, due to a bloody classified event!" Yelled an enraged Kevin Riley, to AIF admiral Nigel Greenwood.

The admiral, while still calm but obviously annoyed, replied. "Another cruiser is being assigned to your fleet, Commodore. As I said, the circumstances of the Phaeton's incident are highly classified. All I can tell you is that she was part of a test for some new engines. You are not authorized to know more, nor can you be told where the Phaeton is being repaired." A rather dissatisfied Riley replies. "Great, secret projects involving my ships that I can't know about. Then, when something goes wrong with your spooky tests, you haul her off to some secret shipyard in God knows where! Again, I can't know the ship's whereabouts because of more secrets!"

"Control yourself commodore! You should know that secrets have to be kept by the higher ups to prevent security leaks. Do you not remember the Protoss infiltration of Chile, commodore?" Snapped back a now angry Greenwood. He continues. "If the Protoss or the Axis infiltrate even our lower ranks, we cannot allow them to know of our more, valuable, assets. There is also, information, that the lower ranks should not know. Indeed, there are secrets the fleet admirals keep from all of us, of this I am sure. They have their reasons, and they have their duties. You had best remember yours, commodore. Dismissed!"

Riley ponders this for a moment. As he leaves the room, he grumbles. "Still plan to speak to Hodston about this. Utterly ridiculous..."
