 Reshad notes, quite accurately, that Jedao does not seem to have respected any of his previous commanders, a criticism which might fairly be applied to Sasha as well. Reshad fails to appreciate, perhaps, the ways in which a formal declaration of loyalty can provide balance and structure in an otherwise competitive or even fractious relationship. But her misgivings are greater. Reshad's background leads her to view Jedao's oath as coercive, an unjust surrender of the self. Jedao's obvious trauma associated with the heptarchs Khiaz and Kujen is not likely to lead Reshad to moderate her opinion.
-Reshad makes some of her misgivings evident in her remark that "We don't do 'property' where I'm from." Sasha responds to this remark with hostility for multiple reasons. She views it as dismissive of the oath Jedao has just made, and typical of a heptarchate tendency to be patronizing about differences in cultural norms. She also believes that Reshad is lying by implicitly refusing to recognize the moths as intelligent actors, a bad omen for future working relationships. It is worth noting, however, that the language Sasha uses to counterattack is entirely informal, in a high language mode reserved for equals. Reshad interprets this as a shocking lack of respect; it may also lend further credence to Seyli's assessment that the two are equal, albeit not entirely allied, powers. Sasha, on the other hand, tends to use more formal (and less profane)

It is worth noting that the language Sasha uses to counterattack is entirely informal, in a high language mode reserved for equals. Reshad interprets this as a shocking lack of respect; in a different direction, it may lend further credence to Seyli's assessment that the two are equivalent, albeit not entirely allied, powers. However, Sasha tends to use more formal (and less profane) language when she is engaged in a concerted campaign against someone; her decision to retaliate immediately and casually indicates, in a backwards way, that she values her relationships with both Jedao and Reshad. Though it does not allay Reshad's justified wrath, Sasha's decision to leave the room when Reshad asks her to do so may be a more legible sign of her slowly growing alignment with Reshad.

 Seyli and Ione connect with the mothlings, and each other, via music. Meanwhile, Sasha has been using music to build a relationship with the ''Cantata'' itself. The information exchanged and the emotional bonds created are likely to play a key role in the team's future successes. However, this will require Sasha to learn to manage her emotions around the ''Cantata'', toward which she is inclined to feel both protective and possessive. Remi and Reshad initially approach connection with the mothlings more scientifically, though their conversation engages Sasha as well. As Reshad observes, Remi has lingering concerns about the initial impression he made on the team; Sasha, at least, is not inclined to hold his initial misgivings against him. In conversation, Remi reveals a deep distrust of the military that may affect the types of team ventures he is willing to support.
 The interview with Jedao initially proceeds productively, with Sasha keeping her promise to let Reshad lead the way, modulo a miscommunication on the desirability of providing ration bars to prisoners. Seyli does reveal that they consider Reshad and Sasha to be, jointly, "the de facto leaders"; Sasha is likely to challenge Seyli on this characterization when an opportunity presents itself.

 During the break between substantive interviews with Jedao, team members make various attempts to relax and improve team cohesion. Sulen works at this most systematically. Though they have misgivings about the Shuos, they have a productive conversation with Reshad. Despite his diffidence, Gerae provides useful insight into team dynamics; games might not be the best choice for a team-building activity, however, given the team members' wildly different approaches to overt competition.

 Seyli prints an outfit for Jedao in a non-faction shade of blue, and returns to his room. They find Jedao sitting on the edge of the bed and studying the rebellion's orientation materials. He rises and says, "Yes?" Seyli offers, "Here, ship knits." Jedao thanks them and offers them his gloves: "I would appreciate it if you would deliver these to Sasha. You understand what this means, even if I don't yet know whether ''she'' does. But if you would rather I do it myself, I can wait for a better time." Seyli flinches, saying, "I won't be responsible for taking any part of your uniform. You can handle that ritual yourself." Jedao nods, saying, "Understood." He stands as Seyli moves toward the door.

 Reshad stands formally, though she is disturbed and saddened by the way Jedao seems to view himself as an object. Looking sharply at Sasha, she says, "We don't do 'property' where I'm from. Nor do we in this rebellion." Sasha says, "Oh, you fucking did. Just not anyone you thought of as 'people'. Jedao, you can stand if you like, and I'm sure Seyli would be delighted to take your jacket. You have a lot of history to learn." Jedao stands and removes his jacket, watching Seyli. Pale and deeply disturbed, Seyli shakes their head. Furious, Reshad uses the team channel to say, "Not. The. Time." Aloud, she says, "Shoo. Out. Let him change." Seyli offers to bring a uniform.

She watches Jedao for another moment, then also leaves the room. Ione leaves shortly thereafter.
