"Look. I protect my own. I make no bones about it and you all know this. Now, we got this little reporter that comes along and wants to make Fenspace a more utopian place, right? Fine by me. Jet says that she can have all the exclusive material? Fine by me. But the very instant she starts to slander Jet then I will not permit her any more assistance than the Convention demands that I give her. Don't get me wrong. If she's in some kind of life-threatening trouble and needs help then she'll get it. We're not inhumane. But if she comes to us asking for anything else then she'll have to turn back because she's not welcome at 36 Atalante."
"Your home, your call, and I'll relay the message for her to stay away from you if you want. Ben, I understand protecting your own - I've been doing that for the Stellvians since before you got the Midnight - but exactly what are you protecting them from here? A woman whose main interest is in telling the truth? Embarrassment if that woman finds out something they don't want her to know? The consequences of their own mistakes? We don't shelter our people here, and don't mention the Kaboomite Incident because you don't know what went on behind the scenes then. Now, you said this yourself - Jet's okay with Maico getting her exclusives. But that means squat if Maico can't get to the Sabers because of you. Do you really want to make Jet a liar?"
