 Reshad has dressed in flamboyant colors for the shopping trip, hoping that people will notice her fashion choices rather than her face. She asks whether she should pick up anything besides Lanterner cordial. Remi is also dressed elaborately. He tells Reshad, "I bet Sasha would appreciate some more flavors of jam, if we can find it." Mafyyil's outfit is comparatively practical. Reshad compliments her, "Your flowers look particularly vivid today."
-Reshad asks Remi what kind of jam Sasha likes: "I'm becoming worried we won't get along, so perhaps a gift would help." Remi checks the ''Cantata'''s inventory and reports that plum, sour cherry, and pine-resin flavors could use restocking, "And maybe a few new flavors in case she likes trying new things. Worst case ''I'll'' have them with toast." Reshad says she has been avoiding the hot-pepper jam until she finds out how hot it is, but, "The sour cherry is definitely a favorite. If Sasha likes it too, maybe we do have something in common."  She observes, "I have a few things I might like to find, but I'm not sure what the trades look like right now." Remi offers to test the spiciness level of the jam. He reports that the most valuable commodities are information and "novelties--whether that's food goods or the latest hottest cocktails or the like. Also entertainment items; games and game variants are pretty popular." Reshad says, with some amusement, "If it's too hot for you, it's definitely too much for me." She is enthusiastic about the idea of new games, and asks, "Is there anything in particular you like to play? I'm a fan of strategic board games in particular." Remi says, "I especially enjoy Prisons and Pangolins and all the tabletop roleplaying games that it spawned. I'm afraid strategic games are not my forte." Reshad says, "I never did find a group I particularly enjoyed, but the game itself seems interesting." Remi says that he likes mages and alchemists, and notes that [[Meta-RPG|the team has a P&P game going]]. He notes, "The ''Cantata'' is still figuring out what it wants to do with its druid character. I wonder if it thinks it can take humans as pets?" Reshad expresses her interest, and her curiosity about the ''Cantata''. "I suppose it has human pets, anyway."

 Sasha adds that she likes the idea of posing as Kel: "That explains why Jedao would end up somewhere that Spider's eyes can't see." Reshad observes that the Kel "didn't get the standardized body language until later," which will make posing as one of them easier. She offers to act as a decoy: "I can make a scene at the appropriate moment, or try to get close to their infiltrators. Whichever is more likely to help when we fox their plans." Sasha is at first confused by the reference to formation instinct, then translates, "You mean, the Kel aren't all bound together, yet." She asks whether Seyli or someone else should play the Kel role, and points out that if it's Seyli, the team will "have to make sure the Lanterners can't report their involvement."

And if you are escorting him, how do we handle the Lanterners, and anyone else who might recognize you?" Ione asks how and by whom the drug will be administered: "That changes formulation." She adds, "Strength isn't an issue, I could do unconscious for five minutes or unconscious for five hours easily enough. Or five days, but that seems excessive." Sasha reminds her that the goal is for Jedao to be "agreeable and following our fake Kel." She says that the method of administration depends on the number of targets: "Ione, did you say your drug affects memory? If so, should we be planning to give it to the Lanterners as well? Because we have three choices, as I see it. Either we deceive them, or we make them forgetful, or--we disable them."

They point out that they lack "training on sneaking," but add, "The last time I needed to look entirely different, I just wore a waist cincher and a tight dress, makeup, left my hair down. It's not the best disguise, but it's an easy one." Sasha is disconcerted by the idea of Seyli in a dress, something she views as a strange heptarchate fashion. She says, "Yes, if Ione's drug can affect short-term memory, our options increase. Or I think Alaric mentioned an exotic?"

 Ione senses Sasha's rage, and finds her in the galley, slamming cupboard doors. Reshad follows, curious about the disruption. Sasha asks the grid to summon Seyli and Sulen, and tells the grid to display the substance of Flute's orders. Seyli arrives quickly, and initially assumes the meeting is informal. Sasha asks the grid to page Alaric as well. She summarizes what she learned from Flute's messages, asking the grid to relay this information to Sulen as well. She concludes that because Flute's team is "looking at a software solution, not explosives," they will "have to override the emergency airlocks." Alaric says, "My guess is that they'll target the safety systems. They could convince the emergency locks that there's pressure on the outside and it's safe to open. Alternatively, they could rig the life support sensors in the compartment to show that there's a dangerous overpressure." Sasha agrees that tampering with the emergency airlocks is most likely. She tells the assembled group, "We can deal with the atmosphere problem. But before that. We want Jedao alive, because fuck if I'm going to do what Quill wants. We don't want Flute's people to know we have him, because then we become a target. How are we going to accomplish this goal?"
-Alaric suggests, "If we're un-sabotaging the air supply already, we could introduce knockout gas - say, a safe exotic crowd-control agent like Sevenfold Soothing Scilla - and swoop in through unsecured emergency locks. Or we pretend to be medics after one of the assassination attempts. How hard could it be to dress up, right?" Sasha points out that, in addition to dressing up, the team would have to counter surveillance and haptic analysis: "I'll take that as a proposal for sedative gas or Lanterner assist, though. Ione, I'm assuming you have a stronger tranquilizer available? Seyli, any thoughts on recovering Jedao?" Sulen arrives quietly, apologies for tardiness, and asks, "Have we decided who we're sending to train our allies? It sounds like they might need to perform some sabotage." The idea of retrieving Jedao makes Seyli angry, but they ask, "If we can't pose as medics, is there the same issue posing as Kel? I don't doubt they'd close ranks around him." They tell Sulen they will be training the Lanterners. Sasha says, "Also Reshad, Gerae, and Aymad, in my current thinking: Reshad to talk to people, Gerae to memorize what they say in answer, and Aymad to act as a tech and work his way into the Lanterners' systems." She notes that the team may be able to sabotage the Lanterners' armor through software.

 The team has a very interesting discussion of the ethical implications of their orders to assist in Jedao's assassination. The participants in the discussion divide into three rough groups. Sasha, Seyli, and Sulen are inclined to fear and distrust Jedao, but Reshad and Virmad are both fascinated by his career and would like to learn more about him. Alaric, Ione, and Mafyyil, who have less connection to the heptarchate or hexarchate, are more generally curious. Sasha's decision that the team will attempt to foil the assassination and kidnap Jedao is driven by her feelings about a leader's obligations and resentment of both Quill and Flute. Seyli is particularly disturbed by this course of action, though they are committed to professional behavior. Sasha's attempt to engage and reassure them is partially successful, but this tentative rapport cannot entirely offset the combination of the team's failure to adhere to military norms and the danger that Jedao himself constitutes.
-Reshad and Sasha cooperate on a professional level--cooperation made easier by Sasha's decision to pursue Reshad's favored course of action--though Reshad continues to worry about Sasha's evident uneasiness around her. She mentions her concern to Remi, but, like many Nirai, he offers technical solutions rather than an analysis of interpersonal dynamics; in general, Remi only sustains interest in other team members when their actions seem likely to affect the mothlings. By virtue of their interactions with Sasha and their role on the team, Sulen is perhaps best equipped to explain this particular interpersonal dynamic. However, Reshad has surely marked the stress Sasha and Sulen both exhibit when discussing Ashari, and may not wish to pursue this avenue of investigation directly. Reshad does make a sustained and somewhat effective attempt to engage Mafyyil; meanwhile, Mafyyil is learning more about heptarchate culture and the team's goals.
