    Jessica: Nyssa think about it, is it okay for the leader of a fleet of a hundred ships to simply freeze up when that fleet needs orders to combat the threat? How badly would things go as the fleet scrambles to figure out what to do because the one person who was supposed to give them tactics froze?

    exactly...a leader of hundreds, thousands or even millions cannot afford to experience event he slightest moments of doubt in battle, nor can they afford to be randomly blowing up all the time...i mean, i KNOW redheads and fiery tempers go together, but what happened back there was just the latest overreaction in a long line of overreactions - and what happened to me in andromeda had absolutely NOTHING to do with leadership abilities...maybe i don't react as fast as i should be to changing battlefield conditions, but i never STOP reacting entirely

    and i NEVER thought that infection was a salarian bioweapon, so i don't know where you got that from - i just never expected a natural illness to be able to get through my biological defenses when i can normally walk through the heart of a black plague-infected population and not get so much as a single lesion on my ar*e​​

    Briana: a fleet with a hundred ships has a hundred Captains... Each of those captains able to think on their own.... Even if she does freeze up, there is a chain of command that makes it so it doesn't freeze entirely, someone else could give orders. If everybody all freezes up at once, then there is a problem...

    this is why dictatorships fail, yes...they don't encourage initiative and in fact actively DIScourage it - usually violently -, so if the leaders die, there's instant chaos - this is actually something the new california republic exploited with the leaders of caesar's legion during the first battle of hoover dam by sniping centurions to cause mass chaos among the rank-and-file legionaries

    obviously, starfleet doesn't suffer from this as it encourages initiative among its captains...but it can still be crippling if an admiral suddenly dies, is wounded badly enough or is otherwise taken out of commission​​

    Briana: *Sighs* Look.... Yes, I think she should get help too, but forcing it on her isn't going to accomplish much... if anything, it would make her feel worse. You'd have Admiral Quinn take her ship away until she "Got better", one of the things that makes her feel useful... Without the Lexington, everything might go in a downward spiral...

    Briana: There is no blanket mental health solution for everyone. Everyone is different. Threatening her with a desk job is going to help no one... having the Lexington taken away from her is going to help no one... She apparently has a confidence problem, so you're going to take away the place where she is confidant most of the time... Stuff like this is how you get those A**hole admirals that Captains had to deal with in the 24th century. Take them off the bridge and they go crazy...

    My Captain nearly froze up, seeing the Jem'Hadar over Bajor, and i can tell you he wanted to attack them so badly. and i can feel we're going to be seeing a lot more Jem'Hadar back in our own time eventually... So what do we do for him? the same thing you're trying to do to my mom?

    Krystal: *growls* First off... I don't command fleets. I've only got a handful, and I know my friends have my back. Second... what I've been going through here has nothing to do with commanding anything.
    *stalks over and jabs Alex in the chest with a finger*
    How would you handle being ripped away from everything, and being stuck in a situation where you're essentially redundant and can't contribute anything at all?!

    I don't have a ship here. You don't need a Tactical Officer. You don't need another Engineer. You obviously don't need a Command Officer or someone to do diplomacy... so tell me. What do I contribute besides being A GLORIFIED FIREHOSE?! I have done nothing since we got here except repair a console on the bridge, get knocked out by a frakkin' plant, and gear up for absolutely NOTHING!

    I'M A FRAKKIN' GLORIFIED FIREHOSE WITH NO PURPOSE HERE BECAUSE YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED ALREADY! AND YOU DON'T CARE ANYMORE! EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, AND YOU DON'T CARE!

    What happened to the Alex I knew back in the war? Because... because YOUR NOT HIM!

    and that reaction just proves everything i've been saying...a team needs to be able to trust each other, to know that everyone has everyone else's back, otherwise the team fails...if i can't rely on someone to have my back in all situations, i can't trust that person, and if i can't trust someone, i can't work with them...and i can no longer trust you, so that's why you're going back​​
