[He smiles a little, he's really not trying to be difficult.] I'm used to having to justify myself in cases like these. Usually in front of a large panel of my superiors, I spend a few hours being talked around and receiving veiled threats. And after I somehow get away without being sanctioned or demoted, I receive my next orders with a stern warning that I'm skating on thin ice.
I'm gathering you don't want that sort of report, but if perhaps you could give me more of an idea what sort of things you'd like me to answer? I assure you I'm not trying to be evasive.
