Rei paused. "Excellent, no need to worry as it is." She shrugged. "I thank you for your understanding in this situation, Siren. The truth is, we don't understand you, and we are taking precautions. It is nothing against you, I promise. it is protocol. Once we know more of you, of what makes you who you are...I promise, we will make sure you don't feel as...mistrusted." Rei looked at her a bit more, then walked over. "If I may borrow the data stick, I will copy it and return it for you. And thank you...I've commanded the Kusanagi for awhile. She's a fine vessel."
