"What do you mean, you can't make it?" Noah was not happy about the call he'd just received from Mal.
"Fine, fine. I know you can't argue with a Congressional supoena.
"Now wait just a minute. Sora isn't a US citizen. She never was. You'd better check with Consul Walker about the legality of Congress summoning an Australian citizen.
"She already has the extradition request? Damn. Maybe I can get her to stall...
"Oh. Yeah, Sora's a good girl that way. I'll find somebody to take your places in the wedding party. You need a lawyer?
"I know Cal's a lawyer. I'll bet Cal's been summoned too, and he's good enough to know he shouldn't represent himself.
"No, not from Artemis. A friend of mine from our days back at Yale; he's on retainer for Stellvia Corp. I'll send you his number; make up your own mind whether you want him.
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Take care of yourselves Down there."
There's half a conversation; feel free to fill in your half or not, Mal...

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
