Howard would totally agree with her, except he doubts Stacy was that desperate to get Albert, too - although that kid probably would have a great destiny, with his ability to just work. "Yet another thing we don't know about Stacy that could be nice to know, I guess. It feels like we're fighting a war with no radios."

He rolls his eyes at her. He feels uneasy, being too paranoid even for Anwei to agree with. "All I'm saying is, with that set-up, and with how crazy the ship is, we went in there with a higher chance of losing than not. Stacy had to know that negotiations would fall through or run over. She had to know about the gladiator ring. If she did, she deliberately withheld information from us."
