John was about to answer her new stream of questions when she jumped at him out of surprise.  The knee jerk biotic Hold was what saved them both from a rather embarrassing situation, just barely as her breasts were right in his field of view.  The blue tinge of dark energy surrounding Michelle disappeared after John had stopped her in midair, lowering to the table first before dropping his hold on her.  Turning to Shakar, he sighed and let Michelle get back into her chair before going on.  "Rule number one Shakar, don't startle an Atlantican would be a good one to remember.  The reason why I don't answer all your questions Michelle, is because I don't know all the answers.  The ones I do are better asked elsewhere, and besides, once everyone is ready to move on, we're going to be leaving this place behind.  For now, enjoy your drinks, food, and whatever 'entertainment' that Aria has allowed us during our brief stay on 'her' station.  And Shakar, just because I'm above the law, doesn't mean I'm going to break it just because I can."  He had picked up on the hidden message there, and John was feeling more and more Shakar would be the most dangerous of the group, Avelo a close second because he had a god complex, probably brought on by his people's beliefs.
