Babara was powerless to do anything about it. After all, she was still just an ordinary secretary. In cases and situations like this, her authority and input was less than meaningless. As a secretary, there were many things that were expected of her to handle. In most cases, officials who had a professional relationship with her often dumped a lot of workload on her. She didn't dare refuse them. She couldn't afford to half-ass it either. Her work ethic always prevailed.
While her responsibilities sat within the scope of a secretary, Babara's ability extended well beyond her job title. Quaid once commented on her, saying that if she had been fortunate enough to come from royalty, she would have probably been the next king. Such a high handed comment from the governor was no joke. Those who didn't know her were forced to acknowledge her. Babara's reputation spoke volumes for her.
