Sasha tries to look away, on dearest, but she can't. She's already chosen a path, here. The only way out is to keep going.
"Every government kills people. Not every government kills planets. I'd like to stop that, if I can. And I'd like to see the universe. But, to begin with, I'd like not to get killed, doing it."
Sasha gestures, including everyone. "I was hoping you would tell me what to do about Quill. It's useful, in a technical sense, that rebellion fingerprints are all the way through both Remi's and the magistrate's files. Makes it easier to suggest they were both involved in some other, different heresy. But I don't like the fact that Quill was taking Gerae's money, I don't like the fact we weren't briefed about Gerae in the first place . . . There's a lot of things about the setup of this mission I'm not happy with. Please. You're the experts in heresy and corruption and politics. Do you have any idea what we're walking into, when we get back? Is there anything I should set up now, to keep us safe?"
