Walking with Sarah, Cortez made a sour face thinking about the up coming negotiations... or more specifically, the thought of what would happen if the talk went badly. He was fairly confident that in a firefight the Tau would put up a good fight but be unable to win, rather he was concerned about the damage that could be done to the ship. The Tau weren't stupid and if it did come down to a fight they would realize what the odds were very quickly, probably try to take as many with them as possible and do as much structural damage as they could.<br/><br/>While Sarah knocked after they arrived, Cortez considers what possibly could be done if the talks went south and he didn't see any way that it could end well. Hopefully he didn't accidentally insult anyone this time.
