Sasha nods at the offer of assistance with Mishka and straight-out grins when Reshad mentions "severe danger", since that's more or less the understatement of this century. "We don't know yet whether Quill is simply amassing personal power, or working with a group within the Shuos. That's one of the things we're trying to find out. For the weapons specs, we're going to be selling designs, not the hardware. One of my next meetings is with Seyli and Alaric and Remi, to sort that out; we should be able to dig something out of the files."

She continues, "Aymad and I can handle the grid side of constructing cover identities, but I'd like your input on what the associated story ought to be. I'll forward you some information on Lanterner culture, and on Flute as we gather it. I believe the Lanterners are monitoring the rift. They may have encountered people from other times or from alternate timelines, so we should consider where and when we'll claim to be from, as well as who. As for the moth, our ship's layout is a little unusual, but as long as Cantata doesn't start singing too loudly, we should be all right."
