If the Ghost could smile he would, Lotva Shai wants his help to escape but the cool calculating Yuuzhan Vong that she is wants to nail down all her bases. Giving as little truth as possible, the Ghost tells her why he wants 'vengeance'. "Poodoo and giggles! Feeling the fear as it permeates from that slime and all that is dear to them will be a great show and the fact that I helped bring it all about is even better!"

Looking at Lotva Shai, the Ghost begins to have that growing feeling that Lotva Shai is looking to back stab him already. It wouldn't surprise him if she was but what exactly could she do to him? He was already dead and any clone of him would not be the same without that personal insane touch that only MCD has. He feels he's beginning to lose control of the situation and immediately goes for the go-for-broke strategy.

"Look we can sit here and discuss the fine print of things or you can nod and say 'I accept, Infidel.' and we can get things rolling. Don't take to long in deciding; Azca might be well out of reach by the time your back-stabbing, double crossing mind figures out a way to have your fluffcake and eat it too."

The Ghost feels now is the time to test out how strong Lotva Shai's maternal instinct is, dangling the prospect that her taking to long to decide might keep her from her beloved crecheling even longer. It was a ploy to get her to stop ana.lyzing the situation and get moving.

"Ticktock Lotva, ticktock..."
