You know it is. Even though I stayed behind to wipe the chief's sorry ass, he doesn't see my leadership potential. If he retires, he has time to decide who to take over. This way is better because I'll be the only person capable of leading when he falls.

Don't you think we deserve a competent leader? Someone who can secure funding, and allocate appropriate amounts to each sector of the organization?

That's the problem though, he's old. Keeping him around is all sentimentality. The longer he's in power here, the more time comet has to evolve, and grow new.
