underrrstands he way things worrrk in ourrr field, and that's a plus. His
boss, on the otherrr hand, may pose a prrroblem. I'll give him a prrroject

Polath would allow it was another issue. Even if they tried to slip one in,
Polath might have already killed him if his presence were objectionable.
And she doubted Polath would lie to her, although it wasn't impossible.
They weren't of the same House, after all.
"There were a few transfers before coming, so they would be there. High
Command would realize that Spec Operations is a tight knit group, so
loyality to the unit is almost as important as house honor. I expect that
they put in at least 2, probably 3; 1 to keep tabs on me and the others to
assist if they have to challenge me. I will know who they are before we
depart, but they are unknown as of today. But soon....."
