"Right," Sasha says. This is going to be a long and ugly conversation; no sense delaying. "Grid, please play the summary I'm about to make to Sulen; they can listen as they walk. And tell Alaric we'd like him up here, as well."
She straightens, and tries to speak slowly and carefully. Her hands are empty, but she's counting her points by tensing her fingers. "I took a look at Flute's records, and I learned three things. First, her orders definitely come from Quill, but she has not connected the source of those orders with Personnel. Second, Quill specifically stated that the worst-case scenario is for Jedao to become aware that rift travelers are interested in him. That makes me think perhaps we should prioritize sharing that information with him. And third, Flute has a contingency plan, if the Lanterners' attempts to kill Jedao fail. She's going to vent the atmosphere from that segment of the conference."
"For rapid decompression of a room the size of an auditorium, you're looking at a hole perhaps so by so"--Sasha shapes a square in the air with her hands, perhaps half a meter on a side--"with just a few minutes before losing consciousness. They're looking at a software solution, not explosives, so to get that area of exposure, they'll have to override the emergency airlocks."
Re: how dare other people have contingency plans - literally paging Sulen and Alaric
