Flute addresses herself to Reshad first, since Reshad is nominally in charge. "I do apologize for the apparent mission creep," Flute says, somewhat formally. "There must have been a mix-up in communications, because I attempted to make it clear to Personnel that we were going to need a more hands-on approach to this particular mission. Merely throwing Lanterners at Jedao and seeing if anything stuck was never going to be a...preferred plan, however."

She pauses, then adds, "I do want to clarify that the assassination will not be taking place on a moth, but on a station where the conference that Jedao is attending will be taking place. In fact, the Lanterners' best hand-to-hand specialist will accost Jedao under the guise of a starstruck dueling fan who has rather inappropriately gotten themself invited to the conference in order to get an autographed duelist trading card."

To Sasha, Flute says, "I was planning on sending our people on the Lanterners' moth, for simplicity's sake, but if you can make a case for sending yours as well, wth your backup people, I'm all ears. We have three infantry who will be backup for the Lanterners on my team, one of whom is outprocessed Shuos, two of whom are mercenaries with border conflict experience."
