[ Looks good, Dennis. Thanks! Tina's dialog was kind of clunky
anyway, so this works much better! ]

"No, nothing at all, actually," she answered, plainly.

>>> There was a long pause by all three. Finally, Felicity spoke up.
>>> "Well, that was a conversation stopper."

"No. If they follow my orders, there will be little need for
discipline, correct?" she asked the collection of pit crew that was
standing before her.
Given the insinuations behind her comment, it was possible that she was
making a joke, although she gave no outward appearances that she was
kidding with them.

Tina shook Saddik's hand, stiffly, and replied, "It's a pleasure to
meet you, as well."

[ Me: It does. Thanks! Sorry if I'm not giving you much to play off
of, Dennis, but I figure she's not one to ramble on and on about
things. :) ]
