From a screen in the ship’s lounge, Audri and Gerek watched the end of the fracas on the bridge, and Audri said, “We have to do something.” Gerek said, “I no longer do the brutal thing. Please, don’t ask me to.” Audri got off the couch, went to a counter-top, grabbed a lamp, and said, “I hear you. well, it sounds like they want to arrest val and me, which is no worse probably than where we were. But it’s you i’m worried about. They plan to kill you. And I’m not going to let them take you without a fight. Wish me luck.” Unimpressed by her chances, Gerek said, “Do you have any experience hitting people in the head with things?” Audri said, “No. But I’ve got good arm strength from years of pottery.” Gerek sat forward and crossed his arms and said, “And you think pottery-making arms will help you against brutes three times your size.” Looking at her Tith arms, Audri said, “Oh, wait, maybe not these arms.”
