Jaelle Foxglove had been one such and he had attempted to break through the wall she had built around herself but in the end had failed. At least in the grand scheme of things she had come through will some technological innovations courtesy of Section 13 which she had seemed to despise as much as the rest of the fleet. Some like the dark matter phaser configuration option built into the ship had uses while personal weaponry built on that foundation had been summarily banned.
