(1) [HESHLA and SHISHAKH argue in a tunnel]

HESHLA - You can't take a whole fifth of the colony! And they're not yours to take in the first place!

SHISHAKH - They'll follow me willingly, because that's how I made them - obedient. With one minor exception...

(2)

SHISHAKH - Heshla, the creche is nearly finished. You can't stop me from leaving. This can become needlessly messy, or we can break cleanly.

(3) [HESHLA moves in threateningly on SHISHAKH]

HESHLA - I certainly could stop you.

SHISHAKH - You'd better check yourself, Heshla, before you do something you'll regret.
