Jac's expression remains neutral, but he gives Mira the barest of a nod 
before turning back to the others. It looks like he is being completely 
business at the moment.

In his profile Mira can see more than a hint of his Aunt. If Mazie was 
able to cold bloodedly kill a man with a knitting needle aboard a 
passenger liner and get away with it unsuspected by the authorities, and 
Mira suspects she did just that, then Jac may be capable of things she 
hadn't imagined until now.

Jac calls after April, "Please, remain. We have serious business to deal 
with here and could use your assistance."

To the others he says, "Si Shultz is correct. This is about Lessa's 
daughter, and the conspiracy against..."

He pauses and then says, "The conspiracy of murderers and kidnappers 
that she faces.  Anyone that doesn't take this seriously and is 
unwilling to provide *serious* help really should just stay out of it. 
We don't have the time to deal with extraneous emotions right now."

He looks at Mira, Kelly, Woof, and then Cory adding, "After this is 
settled there will be time to remember other matters that need resolution."

He turns back to Ricardo, "Captain, do you have orders for us?"
