"Is this a military coup?"

"You bet your ass it's a military coup!"

"I think you need to learn to respect the office I hold."

"The office I respect, it's the one doing the holding that's the trouble."

"I don't recall any complaints about my 'holding' before, Admiral."

"You can't evade this situation."

"Gods forbid. I never avoid tackling a situation head on."

"That is something no one could ever accuse you of."

"Hmm, I suppose diplomatic steps must be taken."

"I'm willing to listen to your terms."

"I do have a... firm grip on military assets."

"...Touche, Madame President."

Well written innuendo is a wonderful thing and you have done a great job here. The pacing of this is excellent and even with dialogue only there is richness to the scene because I can 'hear' the nuances of their tones as the conversation progresses.

Very enjoyable and clever work. Thank you.

Thank you. I always end up feeling I should have left a few more words in than are strictly necessary, but with drabbels having to strip everything down to the bare necessities to get the word count, it is good to know it still manages to come across :).

Hee hee!! Very nice and I love the all dialogue drabbles!! I was freaked out when I had to write one the first time, but I really love them. This is great and I so hear them saying this. Love the "firm grip military assest" line. Heh!!

Hee, thank you. This is only my second dialog only fic, but they are surprising fun to do.

Fun, fun, fun! If only I had the military asset icon!

The Fleet's military assets are property of Laura Roslin, after all ;).

It's kinda fascinating that a 'power' prompt has everyone doing these types of 'banter' dialogue drabbles! It's like we all unintentially are avoiding anything serious! The same happened when I posted 'politics' as a prompt. I thought it was a serious prompt, and in the end we nearly all wrote smut! (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I laughed all the way through this.

Thanks. :)

Maybe we all just have a one track mind ;).

Giggles! You done good! And I know which melitary assests she's firmly gripping. :)
