Panel 1: Mium Efiate, head to upper back. Naomi Atarah, head to upper back, face turned towards Peter. Peter Kepler, face except left cheek and ear, and the tip of his right shoulder.

Peter:

If I had to guess it's because despite your stubborn inclination, extended exposure to my presence has gradually increased your cunning until you gained the ability to detect the obvious.

Naomi:

Peter...

Panel 2: Peter, head to knees. He has his arms bent at his elbows, and he's holding his hands up and open.

Peter:

Look, it's not like I left you out of the plot, it just sort of came up!

A plot of opportunity!

Panel 3: Naomi, forehead to shoulders.

Naomi:

I thought you were planning on helping the M.S.B.!

Panel 4: Peter, head and shoulders, smiling as he responds.

Peter:

I am! They would never have been able to hold him. Now the I.D.S. will take that hit instead.

Further, provoking the I.D.S. to interfere so blatantly will magnify the distrust between them.
