TAGON: Lieutenant, my last meeting with Esspererin did not go well.
CHELLE: We all know that, sir. Neeka isn't allied to, or even related to any of them.
NEEKA: Correcting... I am very distantly related to the Esspees of Beskin-Sashik.
NEEKA: But this Rilla, Mac? He is a closer relative to you than I am to them.
M'CONGER: She keeps saying that but I don't trust the math.
