The Chief had the inpression that all starfleet officers were ridged in their thinking and entitled in they way they operated. For the most part he was not wrong, but Ariel was not a typical starfleet officer and had much to offer. She will not use her telpathic abilities unless asked for but what she can do is offer some insight in who would conduct an explosion such as this.</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline;">"Chief.
