Chloe couldn't help but see the design decisions behind the ship, the very human, very elegant and functional thinking that went into designing the thing. Though, it wasn't hard to grasp why Michelle might want to take her own ship. She turned to Shakar, wondering if she'd taken it as a slight that an advanced race would not want to travel with them. Chloe herself had a similar thought, though she considered the diplomatic potential of the trip as outweighing any convenience in taking her own vessel.<br/><br/>"There are many reasons to travel aboard one's own vessel," she said, "I think it would be, premature, to judge it as a overt display of superiority."<br/><br/>She knew it was a display of superiority, technologically at least, though Chloe wouldn't have said it was overt. As it was, the evidence suggested simply a different mode of thinking with the Atlanticans, not a intentional bid to seem extraordinarily powerful, after all, the Var had made it a policy to ensure their underestimation whenever possible, if only by seeming, well, passive, when they were not.
