DOMINGO, NIKOLA, PHILIP.

I am going to be on the ground starting tomorrow for two or three days. I am currently going alone, which Domingo and Nikola disagree with. I am grudgingly open to suggestions on how to increase my security to ease unnecessary worries without an escort.

EVA.

I'm going down to see Mamá tomorrow and will be gone for a few days.

RONEN - after he's agreed to an escort.

I'll be gone for a few days. You're in charge. Don't make me regret it.

ADNP.

[philiip]

Right, enough of this. I will go.

ADNP.

[adrii]

Excuse me?

ADNP.

[philiip]

Would you like it in Spanish?

ADNP.

[adrii]

No. You are not going.

ADNP.

[philiip]

You’re welcome to find a more capable escort.

ADNP.

[...] Eva is a capable escort, de Vries. And she is the only one who knows the area well. She can blend. She has the most reason of anyone here to want to ensure I don't get captured.

[…] A third sitting pretty in your getaway plane who is also able to operate weaponry will increase the safety margins.

ADNP.

[adrii]

You want to sit in a plane for two or three days.

Sorry: you want a third to sit in a plane for two or three days. Who will not be with me in the city, and therefore unable to respond to any threats if there are any.

ADNP.

[philiip]

Good, so you agree I^* should accompany Team Aldana the entire time.


^{* Or a third.}

ADNP.

[adrii]

That is not what I said.

ADNP.

[philiip]

Suggest that you do.

ADNP.

[adrii]

If I relent — and this is an extremely large if, de Vries — do you really think Doss would allow it? Taking one of her squadron leaders on a personal errand?

ADNP.

[philiip]

Doesn’t have to be me.

ADNP.

[adrii]

Fine. I can ask Lynfield.

[loculus]

ADNP.

[philiip]

Our greenest pilot.

ADNP.

[adrii]

If she's here and she's flying, she's competent.

ADNP.

[philiip]

You are being DELIB Let’s put it to Doss.

ADNP.

[adrii]

Fine.

PHILIP.
What is your problem with this?

Adrip.

[philiip]

Figure it out.

ADNP.

[oneirophrenic]

I suggested this and was shot down.

ADNP.

[philiip]

Sorry, Niko, but I'm the sprightly option here.

ADNP.

[oneirophrenic]

I know. But I did suggest he take you. It seemed like the obvious solution.

ADNP.

[philiip]

Obvious solution to a problem of his own making.

ADNP.

[oneirophrenic]

Yes. Classic Adrían.
