"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose

Mr. Scott grinned. "I know that nobody else uses that term any more, Ms. Tange, but I still like it better than 'handwavium.'"
"Yes, of course," Maico replied, while mentally cursing the briefing officers back on Homeline who hadn't told her that the substance Paralabs most wanted from this timeline had more than one name. If Stella Via's owner hadn't misunderstood her question, her cover might have been blown then and there.
