Matt graciously accepted the datacard. "You just answered my next question. Thank you, Sir. Come tomorrow, you might just become our hero."

"There's another issue, a more 'local' inquiry that's important to me, but if this gift has to get to Theta by morning, Shamus is my immediate priority. My needs can wait."

"Gypsie? (May I call you Gypsie?) Would you like to take a roadtrip to Theta? It would just be Daeva and I otherwise, and it could give us the opportunity to continue our discussion. If you say no, that's perfectly cool, but it's ok. You can trust us."
"We're not like the others."
