There are always individuals who profit from war, but peace is what brings wider prosperity. I hope your homeland does get there, without compromising its values.

[Tayrey's passion might be flight and star charts, but she'd be happy to talk trade minutiae all day if given the opportunity. She stresses practicality as it's what the average Tradeliner values most, what gets you respect as an officer - but behind that, she's very clever, very well-educated, and misses friendly debate.]

Then I won't hold back. I'm only conscious of diplomatic protocol. [She smiles, because there really is no protocol for this.] Most will complain about their superiors through a whole shift if given the chance, but hear an outsider malign them and suddenly they're all paragons of both virtue and efficiency, speak no ill of them! Of course the truth lies somewhere in the middle. [She shrugs.] Or perhaps that behaviour is peculiar to my sector.

[The real takeaway is that if Tayrey ever voices significant criticism of the Tradelines to someone? That's proof that they're as close as her shipside comrades are to her.]
