Tabetha said nothing to the first comment.  The Captain hadn't answered the question at all before, and she had been listening quite attentively.  Implications and assumptions were the only clues, not that she was very surprised.  His kind were hardly the most stable sort.  Rarely worth the time it took to hear them out.  Humans weren't much better, but at least they were<em>human.</em><br/><br/>The mention of the escort was far more annoying.  Being shown around her new headquarters was one thing, but being babysat for days on end was a senseless waste of time.  Hopefully whoever they assigned to her wouldn't end up being a total waste of space.<br/><br/>Rather than taking any of the offers, Tabetha simply stared out the window for the remainder of the trip in silence.<br/>
