Hall did not want to operate at his best. That required dedication and, even worse, work. Leisure was necessary for his mental well-being, and reinforcements were going to provide much needed jobs for other people, a great opportunity for Hall to lay his feet onto his desk and take a nap. Add to this his request for reinforcements months ago, and he could avoid the inspection of himself altogether, and receive what he had requested. He uttered at once.
"Yes. I did bring the problems to your attention, Fleet Admiral, along with a request for reinforcements, when the Hessians attacked. In June. I suppose that those have been integrated with the battlegroup along their way?"
He got her here, he thought. It was an obvious oversight from her side. Of course, he did not want to be openly invasive, which is why he subordinated his needs beneath those of the counterattack battlegroup, although he did not think his reinforcements ended up there, or anywhere.
What was most important for him here is that, apparently, the Fleet Admiral made a mistake in front of the whole board.
