Telaliel blinked a bit at the captain's comment, listening to the translation for a few moments as she tries to figure out what it's saying then nods slightly.  "I...think I understand, somewhat, though the meaning is not exactly clear.  I suppose not all things translate quite so easily...if you would be willing to ah...render legal advice, it sounds like it should be something my father would approve of.  Though I suppose it will be some time before we could take it racing through the outer belt...it certainly doesn't<em>look</em>as maneuverable as my 'thopter..."  She nods again and steps forward, looking to the screen.<br/><br/>"Given the location of the ship and it's proximity to my people's world, as well as having mounted an assault against allies within our space, I believe that we would have as much claim to the, ah...salvage?"  She seems confused somewhat, looking to Captain Black for verification that she had said it right before continuing, "as any other participant in the hostilities.  Considering the current standing of our technology to yours, and our desire to begin diplomatic relations on the best possible footing, it would be a boon to the opening talks if a grant of salvage rights could be given."
