Bailon and Epsilon Thirteen answered the first question at the same time. 

Bailon gave a curt “No.” 
Epsilon calmly answered “Yes.” 

Bailon gave her pupil a brief, exasperated look. Technically, the answers were correct. But Bailon had been hoping not to be called upon to answer the soldier’s questions. 

Bailon’s body language betrayed fear, if only barely. She moved so that she was slightly further away from the soldier than Epsilon was. Epsilon, meanwhile, did not move at all, except for her eyes to follow the soldier. 


“Useful to what end?” Epsilon Thirteen countered the request for information in a calm, polite tone.
