 The issue of moth harnesses highlights divisions among the longer-serving team members. Sasha and Ashari manage brief cooperation: Ashari's commendation prior to the meeting is perhaps the first time they have provided Sasha with direct positive reinforcement. But Sasha's working relationship with Ashari is always competitive, and she specifically resents the suggestion that she has not sufficiently anticipated danger, so their conversation about the moths grows hostile quickly. Alaric resolves the standoff by applying practical as well as moral reasoning (and by offering Ashari a way to shift course without losing face), but the altercation is likely to have significant long-term implications. Sulen hates both the potential for disruption of widespread attacks on the mothdrive and the dynamic of Sasha's interactions with Ashari. Ione correctly infers that Remi will react strongly to the conversation about the moths; though she takes the risk of using her exotic power to glean more information, she does not gather more than his intense concern.
-Remi's increasing alienation contrasts with Jedao's growing integration with the team. In an odd counterpoint to the unspoken tension between the two men, Seyli is overcoming their unease with Jedao through newfound affection for the mothlings, Remi's greatest preoccupation.

 The team's next mission will bring them into contact with the hexarch Mikodez, or at least his employees. Istradez and Reshad, who have past experience with Mikodez in his role as hexarch, are both valuable resources and potential liabilities to the team in this situation, depending on the ways they manage the strain upon their loyalties. Of the newer team members, Xiulan is swiftly integrated due to her obvious experience, and Dar is focused on immediate, concrete goals. Deyna is enthusiastic about learning the ''Cantata'''s weapons systems; whether she will have an opportunity for training must depend on the team's success in extricating itself from this particular universe.

 Dar calls out, "I got a question! The other teams - did they get briefed too? Things work better if we work together." Sasha tells her, "We won the first meeting slot, because we're all so well-rested. So the moth team gets an hour to prep." Sulen nods at Sasha's instructions, sending Dar their supply lists. They look at Deyna, hoping she will help with moving supplies. Dar acknowledges Sulen's message via the grid and begins to put away the breakfast things.
-Reshad offers, "I can escort the moth-freeing crew--or I can start learning weapons, although that might be best saved for a non-crisis situation." Xiulan says that she will take "backup on weapons": "I went over the specs and systems info you sent, but hands on will be the best next step. Speaking of which, how are we handling calls to fire? Particularly if either of the other two moths have weapons too, who’s in charge of telling everyone to fire - or not - if a hostile is spotted? I’d say those of us on the ''Cantata'', unless someone on one of the others has more experience in the area." Seyli says, "I'm trained on breaking down bases if you need me there, or handling weapons. I honestly doesn't matter where you send me between the two of them, I can handle myself." Jedao tells Xiulan, "I took the liberty of looking at personnel files. Someone trusted should be in charge of fire control. I realize you're not from the hexarchate, but under the circumstances, since I cannot volunteer, I would recommend you for the position. I can handle the actual gunnery." Xiulan says, "I can do that," nodding. Sasha says, "If only the ''Cantata'' is involved, it's yours, Xiulan. But we should expect Kaliyan to coordinate combat, on the ''Typhoon'', as long as we're all in contact. She and Ankat are former Kel--we've got the science team." Xiulan agrees, "We’ll link up with the Typhoon when we’re aboard." Sasha says, "Seyli. Let's put you with Sulen and Dar."

 Deyna is disappointed not to be part of the initial weapons team, but appreciates Sulen's interest in including her. She asks for another copy  of their supply lists. Dar smiles at her sympathetically and shares the files.

 Sasha reflects that she will "bite the next person who suggests she would make a good fox," and that she prefers to remain in the background during the operation. She says, "Sounds reasonable. Ashari, what are the protocols for contacting Kesser and Mae?" Ashari smiles: "Code word for Kesser is 'artichoke.' Code word for Mae is 'honey badger.' Any other questions?" Sasha asks politely for "the files on our past contact with them"; Ashari agrees. Reshad says, "Your past contacts will help immensely. Do we know what they want of us? Or is that yet to be ascertained? I like the sound of this plan. Use a good dose of Shuos mystery to distract the Kel; perhaps a dose of authority to distract the Shuos."

 Sasha says, "Right. Let's get moving. We need a team to gather supplies and assist in breaking down the station--Sulen and Dar, you're the leads there. We need a team to remove the harnesses on the other moths. Remi, I want you focused on whatever we can learn about moth predators, or whatever else might be out there. We'll find the mothlings a couple of babysitters. Jedao, you have the Cantata's weapons, for now. Seyli, Xiulan, I want you in four places, but we haven't learned how to jump time that fast. Will you take backup on the weapons, or go with Sulen and Dar?"
