"There are a few governors and she's the senior one."

"Then if you think she'd be of help I'd love to be introduced."

"I'm not sure an introduction from me will help any."

"Is there an alternative? I don't expect one can just walk up to her and say 'hi.'"

"I suppose not." Sigh.

"Sorry."

"Ror said you reminded him of me before I started a war."

She purses her lips and rubs them a bit with a hand. "Why'd you do it?"

"...I didn't think it would start a war, obviously."

"I mean, why'd you do the food thing at all, not why you started a war."

"The food is safe. It doesn't even taste weird if you aren't psyched up about it. I thought if it was - sufficiently difficult to avoid, people would get over it."

"But I mean—presumably other people also know there's nothing scientific about it and they didn't do it."

"Maybe they knew it'd start a war, I don't know."

"My impression was that they wouldn't care though."

"...about starting wars?"

"About reds."

"No, they really don't."

"Why do you?"

"I... don't know?"

Blink.

"I just do."

"...well. Good on you. Someone should."

"Thanks."

"So... what should I do to talk to the Governor?"

"You could drop by her office, see if she's busy. Or wow her secretary, make an appointment."
