I have no qualms with that. I also think we should discuss this situation with the werewolf further. Please tell me what happened.

[ ... ]

There was a werewolf attack involving another passenger of the ship. I was unable to defend them or myself adequately. Another person's intervention was required to deal with the creature.

You are... not satisfied with this intervention?

It should not have been necessary.

You say 'should'? By whose accordance?

[...]

It should never be acceptable to put another person in harm's way.

I was not under the impression that you had from the details presented. It sounded to me that they made their own decision to confront potential harm.

It should not have been necessary with my presence there.

We have many capable passengers on the Barge. Some of whom feel the same way you do. That their presence is the only requirement.

Let me pose you a question: which of you is correct? Which one of you who believe it is the only necessary presence?

[Alucard seemed to be bristling on the other side of the communicator.]

The one who was there first that could - should have - handled it within seconds with ease...without impediments.

So, you are all quite equally necessary and whoever comes across the scene in good time can be of help?

[ She reinterprets his words mildly. ]
