Cualli has been trying her best to ignore the conversation going on between Gus and Jaakko, but it's clear she's very uncomfortable with the staring and the tense atmosphere in the room. She moves a bit closer to Elu, looking like she wants to talk to him to distract herself, but can't find anything to say. She looks towards Jaakko and Gus. "Is there a problem?" she asks, her voice defensive. |

"Deltan terrorists hijacked a civilian airliner. It was shot down. Won't be long before every news station in Aesthia starts broadcasting the headline." Gus looks around the room. The serious, stern look on his face doesn't leave. "Much of the crew is still raw after Kronovostok and prior. This..." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Be careful. You're Aesthian to most of us-" Gus's eyes flick to Jaakko briefly, "-but others might not think the same. This'll be an excuse for anyone that doesn't like you." |

Cualli pauses, remembering the expressions she caught on Jaakko's face (and the displeased look he currently wears), before giving a slight nod. "...Right," she sighs. "Thanks for the heads-up." She digs through her memory, trying to remember any of her co-workers who ever expressed anti-Deltan sentiments around her. There's Jaakko, of course-- she makes a mental note of him. She'll have to keep an eye out, Cualli realizes: if her superiors are the kind to turn against her because of her Deltan heritage, she might not find many friends if someone did happen to come after her. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat, looking at Elu again. She'd have to explain to him later what was going on, she thought. |

Gus looks over at Elu as well. His mechanical gaze betrays nothing. "Keep Elu around," Gus says slowly. "Even after we land. Being rational is not a strong suit of our people, you know better than most." He looks over at Jaakko again, whose scowl remains unchanged. "Let us know if anything out of the ordinary happens." |

Cualli nods slowly, briefly recalling all of her past experiences. "I will. Thank you." |
