Followup meetings: Reshad, Sasha, Seyli, and Sulen

Sulen greets the group returning from meeting with Flute: "I made tea in the common room. I tried to make coffee but it was more complicated than it looked. Is everyone uninjured?" Reshad says, "Nobody's injured." She thanks Sulen for the tea, and takes a cup.

Sasha says, gratefully, "Fuck, yes, I would love some tea." She asks Seyli where they want to debrief. Seyli has been tense and brooding. Disconcerted by Sasha's suggestion that they take twenty (heptarchate) minutes to yell, they say, "I'm not going to yell and certainly not at you if I was. Sir." Sasha leads Seyli to her office, acquiring tea on the way, and tells them, "Triage. What concerns you most, about that meeting?" Ignoring Sasha's gesture toward a seat, Seyli says, "What doesn't concern me? We're getting tangled up in a mission that involves someone who never lost a fight, without any significant backup, or clear support? Sir, I fail to understand how you can ask that question with the information before us." Sasha says, "Sit the fuck down, Seyli. You're hurting my neck." She attempts to engage Seyli and reassure them they will not be acting alone by saying, "I know you'd prefer a few more moths and a lot more heavy ordnance. But I believe you have not registered that Alaric and Ione and Aymad and I could kill everyone on this station, given a couple hours' lead time. Three, if their firewalls are really good. Humans are fucking fragile and very dependent on specific levels of oxygen." Seyli sighs and drops into a chair, observing, "I understand a lot of your plans tend to go haywire. But that is...useful information to know. You're right, I haven't put those pieces together about the four of you." They ask what role they will take, as "the only trained infantry person." Sasha tells them, "Your role is security, and our mission is extracting information."
