I meant aside from the drinking. The orgy in particular.
If you can't show those thing, then you must come up with something else. And if you want to make Marika and the others look cool...and guess breaking up revolutionaries, and rooting out criminal activity works.
As for the battle. Anime logic. I've seen instances were a ship's crew basically stops fighting, or even paying attention to what is going on around them for these sorts of talks. Happened in Space Battleship Yamato all the time. Even to the point that the Acting Captain had to leave the bridge to get advice from the wounded Captain...while the ship is under constant attack from all sides. Or more or less everyone has a little pow-pow in the bridge, not really minding their stations, while under attack, to discuss how to defeat the enemy. And you can tell they are still under attack as you can hear explosions going on, and sometimes the ship rattles. They even all left the bridge one time to plot out how to destroy the enemy fleet...while hidden behind and asteroid, while under fire from a big fleet...that had destroyed a previous asteroid they had been hidding behind. These scenes are usually about as long as Marika's planning scene. And the enemy's aim just about the same as those that tend to fire on Yamato.
Sort of happens in Star Trek from time to time. Those instances where is seems like the battle happens to gets a lull while the crew discuss what to do about the major problem they are having, or to talk to the Admiral or whatever over subspace. Yet they really didn't move the ship out of the battlefield. Sometimes you can tell they are still under fire. Usually they don't leave the bridge in Star Trek...unless they have someone unfriendly onboard that the Captain thinks only he can deal with (Kirk era thing).
