Self-interest I could believe. They gave me the same party line about you lot being good boys and girls and you'll get to go home. Lorriswarkin said it personally so they were at least intending on it at the time-- who knows if they'll change their minds.
But I don't want you to be doing this for me. I'm one dumb lizard lady in a long line of police chiefs and there'll be another one after me that they sucker into the job. But this is my city and there's hundreds of thousands here with nowhere else to go. If you aren't cutting out, there isn't a second chance. Got it?
Call me Kadra. My friends call me Aala but we're not friends, eh? Least you have something I can halfway pronounce. [Those damn Chocolina were going to kill her with their Xs and T-L combos and liquid vowels.]
IF THEY CHANGE THEIR MINDS THEN THEY WON'T DESERVE THE FUCKING CONSIDERATION I'VE GIVEN THEM SO FAR, AND I CAN BE A PAIN IN THE ASS TO THEM THEN. FOR NOW, WHY BOTHER? YOU DON'T CUT OFF YOUR SNIFF SPONGE TO SPITE YOUR PAN.
KADRA IT IS. I'D APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING IT TO VANTAS. WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR ME? TELL ME WHAT NEEDS DOING AND I'LL TELL YOU IF I CAN DO IT.
They're politicians. What are you expecting? If the political climate stays as it is right now, you probably don't have anything to worry about.
I might have something in mind, but I need to wait to see if a little birdie reports it first. I'll get back to you. But I hope you don't mind running interference with the dimensionals, because they want me to do all sorts of paperwork to justify getting one of my guys involved with them, and you conveniently don't have any paperwork at all right now.
RUNNING INTERFERENCE IS PART OF THE JOB, THAT'S NO PROBLEM. AND I WON'T LIE, IF YOU'D SHOVED A STACK OF PAPERWORK AT ME FIRST THING I'D HAVE PROBABLY FLIPPED A TABLE AND GONE TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH MYSELF.
