He not only had to lead the team xenologizing the Tigeries, he also had to begin the effort of making contact with the sea dwellers after Flandry captured one of the sea people for study, interrogating, and use as a messenger. So, no surprise we see him as curt!<br /><br />And, then, of course, Ridenour had to begin planning the evacuation of at least some of these two races after Flandry discovered Starkad was doomed.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
