ENNESBY: I need a cover story. Why hasn't this ship been answering?
The station needs to trust me, talk to me, and let me cross to the other side of the icewall.
TAGII: This ship was adrift for millions of years. The story tells itself.
ENNESBY: Oooh, I like it.
A little bit of crazy, a lot of lonely, and then a dash of "hey, fill me in."
I can play that part.
TAGII: You can play it, but only I can sell it.
