: Explain it as if you were a child? Fine.
Elu is silent while everyone else debarks, but before you leave he puts his hand behind his back and asks you a question.
: How many fingers am I holding up on my left hand?
From his spot on the roof, Gus can see the VTOL's occupants approaching the capsule.

"No way of telling. I do know where you're going with this though. Continue."
Tippy waves her hand for Elu to proceed.

: The chance to deprive the Imperium of new Helian equipment is probably far more useful than what they can derive from the hardware that Phobos has. We already have the means to deploy AI in our aircraft, we don't because of the malfunctions.
Bell readies her carbine and makes sure the firearm is fully loaded.

: There is a way of telling, you will have to walk around me and see for yourself how many fingers are held up. But when I see you go to look, I will have changed the variable to a different one than it was before, and when you are done looking I will change it back to what it was initially. This is called "deception", Captain Boone. I believe the Goths may be deceiving whoever should be, as you said, "inspecting them for liabilities from time to time". As a result, Helios believes the Goths are upholding their terms, when in actuality they are not. Do you understand?

: You're assuming the Helians are going to care enough that Izzy's forgetin' around with their toys to do anything about it. We send that thing back where it came from and the Goths are going to get a slap on the wrist and an angry letter, nothing more. I can't believe you're actually listening to that thing.

Gus waits for the VTOL to spool down to approach. He eyes the pod cautiously.
