Re: a quiet room - paging Jedao and Reshad

"If I thought it were so urgent as to endanger you [1] immediately"--Jedao's eyes are inscrutable--"I would have dealt with the matter myself, despite the cost. You're asking whether to extend to him the courtesy you did to me, given what I did in my future. Short-term strategy I'd say get rid of him. Longer-term he might well be an asset, and given Kujen's skill at mathematics and technology, he's a more important one than I'll ever be. Tacticians are as common as flowers in the field, after all. Even the version of him that I knew, I judged a useful ally, although a perilous one." Brief pause, then: "If this is before he gains the ability to jump into new bodies when he's killed, then it wouldn't be that difficult to kill him if he does prove treacherous. The Kujen I knew was, not to put too fine a point on it, terrible at combat."

[1: NOTE: When Jedao says "you," the fact that the high language doesn't inflect for number makes it ambiguous as to whether he means "all of y'all" or "you, Sasha specifically."]
