Zahra considered Alexei's questions about safely disabling their own allies should they fall under forced commandeering. Taking a sip of her tea, Zahra calmly added, [color=a187be]"It seems almost defeatist for us to be discussing taking out our own, ominous even, but I am not the superstitious type and commend your foresight, Mr. d'Vexville. Since my drones are capable of repair, they are also capable of disabling an allied NC in a non-lethal manner if it should be called for. However, I sincerely hope that we can take out this threat before such misfortune should befall us. Although the Commander General has implored us to capture the pilots, the safety of the team and the defense of Darwin are our priorities, and anything that poses too great a threat to either should be dealt with accordingly."[/color]

Zahra was glad to see that the less emotionally stable members were getting support from their peers, though it was a bit troubling to know that their other repair specialist was Chelsea, the one she had comforted back at the briefing. It didn't do for a field medic to lose focus and presence of mind so easily. If anything, a medic had to be made of tougher stuff than most soldiers. Zahra said a silent prayer that they would be given the fortune of being able to defend from safe positions and to be able to make quick hit-and-run offensives, and to not have their psychological weaknesses exploited by the enemy. of course, whatever happened was the will of God.

Then a French woman entered, calling everyone her 'alouettes' and asking them to call her maman. Zahra raised an imperceptible eyebrow at the younger-looking woman, and wondered if this was a sign of haughtiness, delusion, or actual age. Of it was truly due to age, it made Zahra question the unnatural things humans did to themselves to avoid meeting their Lord. Not that such practices were absent in Al-Amir either, this was simply Zahra's most recent encounter with the anti-aging process.
