"They can't even control their own ground and they want to expand into someone else's?" She's extremely dubious, just on strategic grounds. She admires daring, but that's dumb. And worse than dumb, from the sound of it. The way Jesse talked about them earlier, the kidnapping thing sounded sort of small-scale, but now... "Just how many people have they taken? They still have them?"

She rubs one antenna, looking as abashed as an Exo who's pleased as punch can. "I- thanks, Jesse. I'm glad we met too. I mean, you and your people got dragged right onto death's border and you're still rebuilding, still fighting for one another. Knowing we've got people like you even without the Traveler behind us makes me damned proud to belong to the same planet."
