Rush remained silent, and kinda distracted.. he was thinking about Sanada's proposal but can't find anything that could let her collaborate with him.. he waited for the two to end their bargain, then, when Jimmy asks him:
"Well.. first, I want to apologize for my behaviour.. with both of you. Then..Miss Sanada, whatd'ya think 'bout letting me have a look at those parts, when you will be here on the station? Think about it, it's not so bad... they'll remain in your possession, and I could study them. Nevertheless, I'd understand a negative answer, this would require a lot of trust.."
He pauses, scratching his short beard..
"It's just I don't know how to trust each other.. I'm a poor pilot, you're no researcher.. we'll see.. after all, I guess we'll meet again on this station, right?"he says, with a little smile
