"You attended to the other ships?" George asked in the alien tongue of Brionimar.

"The others are all aboard? We are the only ones on this one?"
"Yes."
"Good. I will remember this. You have done a good day's work. You follow instructions well. I won't forget."
"Thank you."
"Watch the girl. I'll give the signal to leave."
"What do we do with her?"
"Dump her out as soon as we hit open space."
