Narration(Marozi): I have not been given the totality of information regarding this situation.

Narration(Marozi): But I suspect the answer is far more asinine than these...lofty sentiments...reveal.

Narration(Marozi): If Kore became Xander's mistress she'd have access to his power in a way no one else on the island would.

Narration(Marozi): She'd be able to bend his ear, and he'd listen. When no one else's tears or prayers could ever reach him.

Narration(Marozi): It would be almost as bad...as her being made a telepath. Just like him.

Narration(Marozi): Poor Esmerelda Jones.

Narration(Marozi): They consider Xander to be something other than a man. And I love them for it. Insisting that his abilities set him apart from humanity as an alien. When in reality the only thing that bothers them...

Narration(Marozi): Is that he is very, very human. Imperfect, selfish, capable of the same breathtaking shortsightedness.

Jones: Don't look at me like that, James! We'll find a way to defeat it somehow! We just can't ask a woman to whore herself to the telepath! It's beneath us.

Marozi: Ok then, what should we do?

Qureshi: We should think and not be hasty.

Qureshi: This is a very important piece of information. I think we all owe James our thanks for his...outstanding bravery and resourcefulness. However did you find out, James?

Marozi: Confession time. I was checking on her, like I do all the new inmates...when he summoned her!

Marozi: turned her mind so there was only one thought in her head. Find him.

Marozi: Plus Phil at the palace confirmed that she's to live with him there instead of in the block 1 apartments.

Marozi: In any case we don't have much time. He will have Kore one way or the other. And we get to choose whether we want an ally on the inside...or a victim we have to rescue.

Qureshi: I think we should sleep on it. But keep away from Kore until we meet again and figure out what to do.

Qureshi: Xander can smell our traces on her, especially if he's paying attention. We don't know yet what Kore wants. Oh yes, anyone for ice cream?

Marozi: Haha! Sure!

Narration(Marozi): And I laugh like it was my idea all along.

Marozi: Heh, heh.
