ImPorts, is it?

[The young woman on camera looks stern and uncompromising- though that may just be the natural slant of her eyebrows, the usual set for her lips. Regardless, she takes a moment as if making sure she knows what she wants to say, and then squaring her shoulders, continues-]

We have been brought here for a purpose, and although the ends are a mystery, the fact that we are the means speaks volumes! So tell me-

[Tilting her chin up, she looks imperious- someone who's used to command, control- and with almost surprising charisma (and oh my god, is that backlighting? How?), continues-]

What will you do if the ends do not suit you? If they are less than savory? Will you continue to obey those who have brought us here?

[She settles back into her chair, folding her hands over each other, and raises her eyebrows.]

It's only right that I know what sort of people I am meant to cooperate with, after all.

Unless a time comes when the line drawn between us becomes more than a matter of heated discussion.

It may come, it may not. It is still worth knowing where the lines are.

I suppose I can't disagree. But even the most honest people can lie shamelessly to themselves, and it's impossible to predict how our circumstances might change in the future. When that time comes, if it does, you'll have the true answers to your question.

People who will lie to themselves to that extent are people I have no interest in.

But you have a point. If, in the future, the situation changes, the answers to this will be all the more important.
