"Loyal or not, all deserve to be free of terror. Those who will cause peaceful creatures terror deserve to reap terror for themselves." She thought a moment and continued, "What kind of Queen would I be if I only ruled based on someone's loyalty to me through force? I don't believe it'd work out well for any of us. But to answer your question, as long as the Fleet does not become barbaric in it's practices I can assent to the Fleet restraining themselves and handling situations properly. The blunt answer however..." She winked. "Cut loose, just not too loose. Your spoils are your own to do with what you will. Survivors may be used as deck hands until they are able to be brought to our prisons in the Capitol for judgment. However, I trust in your intuition of discipline along the way."

She leaned in closer and lowered her voice. "I am placing a gift in your hands. Do not think I don't know this. I have given the Fleet my trust, and I expect my trust to stay free of betrayal. This will be my only requirement while working together and I will speak of it only once." She chuckled and her face was immediately back to being filled with mirth. "Now that it's out of the way, we can go forward with confidence. If you will please draw up a list of available... resources, I would be most appreciative. I would also like to hear more about this Laxtavita. What say you?"
