Bear in mind also that Sheridan is totally *outside* Gideon's
chain of command. His authority goes up to the president of the Earth
Alliance, not the ISA. It would be like a field commander in NATO
going to Clinton with a problem. He has to go through the chain of
command first.

"This is the Gideon that I think that you've created for us. He's a
lot like Sheridan, making his own decisions based on his own real-time
understanding of the situation at hand. He's also a lot unlike
Sheridan, playing his cards close to the chest and willing to "cheat"
as a first solution rather than as a fallback position. Sheridan was
Ben Cartwright. Gideon is Brett Maverick. <g> Am I close? :-)"

'zactly.

It's only ever going to be seen by the general, and bear in mind
that in that shot Chambers was WAY in the background, it was only seen
for a moment on the monitor, with the General more concerned about
what's happening in FG, and in any event he would have to instantly
recognize her by sight, and he didn't know her.
