Lee's arm flexes again, flinching as he keeps himself from pushing Janet against a shelf of books in a sexy sort of way. "The Fleet is sort of like your entire Armed forces. The hub for both the marines, air patrol and battlestars. The standing army is also connected with them."

"It's hard to think straight when you're fighting next to a girl who could kick your ass," he admits, "but I think it improves morale, I suppose? And ups the competition, which is always helpful." He looks away a little red in the face suddenly and his eyes narrow. "Lots of court martials, though, when a guy can't handle it...." he trails off.

Janet notices the look in Lee's eyes and ponders pushing him up against a shelf of books herself. "That's a fascinating organizational structure," she says, barely resisting the urge to see if he has a book she can borrow. She's got too much reading to do as it is. "The marines and standing army are your sources of ground troops, then? Battlestars must be the equivalent to the Prometheus aircraft carriers, and the air patrols sound like a sort of a combination of Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard."

"Wouldn't you rather have her on your side, though, then angry at you behind the scenes because she can't help out?" asks Janet. "Look at it this way: You can draw the best people from the entire population instead of just under fifty percent of it. It also greatly increases the available population of potential combatants." She conveniently doesn't notice his blush or any awkwardness in the conversation. "Some guys can't handle the idea. That's why women are generally just banned here in this country. But not everyone is like that, and it's better not to punish everyone for the potential mistakes of a few people."
