lying 102, the best lies have a grain of truth.]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, [this kavinsky seems like the kind of person who'd actually say sorry if he was. the words taste foreign in his mouth, but it's not as difficult as it is when he actually feels defensive. slowly, he reaches over to take the glasses.] I just-- it was a weird Port-in. I mean the banged station was one thing, but the machine was really screwed up too and that was... you know.
[it's been a lot to process, in so short a time. but he's given to understand that was the extremists' plan in the first place, to wipe out all imports by destroying the porter itself.]
Are you okay?
