"Ok then." Napoleon said, tapping a rough fingernail against her glass. "So you're good at lots of things, apparently. Let's just say you are. How do I know you aren't an Order spy?

Perk yourself up a bit while I help your pilot get us in close." With that Carson headed for the cabin to give Cat help getting the cumbersome barge close into the shore.
