"You're even stupider than I thought." Kaylia glares at him. She's fairly protective of the Chimera; it's more like her home than anything else, and more importantly, it is her father's ship. The scums' attempt to take it really ticked her off, more than his touching or Merskivs.. stupidity in her weapon choice, at least at the moment. Merskiv will get an earful later; he gets one now. 

Kaylia will lean in close, her eyes alight with anger, keeping her voice low as the troopers approach. "Play along, or play dead. She's been itching to explode anyway, and I love putting bolts in people who mess with my ship." She'll tilt her head towards Merskiv first, then flashes her blaster at him, obscured just under her coat. Completely legal for her to carry, and she had the paperwork in order under her legal name and everything, but an active threat nonetheless. "Shut your hole. Use my story, play the annoying guide."

"You too, play along, or keep quieter." Looking at Merskiv, before trying to put back on a neutrally annoyed face towards the pirate.

"Hey! Its fine he just wanted to see Merskiv!" Faking calming down her friend after her outburst. "Looks like we are getting close to the front, finally! Thanks for your help getting her. It was a bit confusing." Kaylia starts as if she hadn't just threatened his life. With any luck, the troopers would just ignore us. She'll glare at him if there is any real hesitation in his uptake.
