[Esmé holds her head up high and declares proudly:]

I'm a financial adviser. You could say I'm good with money. And acting.

Coincidentally, I'm on the red team. Perhaps we should color-code our uniforms.

[Ohhh, feisty girl. That's some spunk, and she rather admires that.]

Oh? [She raises an eyebrow.] How so?

@Liara

Several millennia... [Her eyes widen.] What? Then...my world has been left in the past all this time?

[counterattacked]

[Wow, that sounds pretty useless! In fact—]

Sounds pretty useless. They brought us here to destroy the world. You don't need acting or money for that.

Not a bad idea. As long as a flattering blue is picked, I'd have no complaints. Shame about those unfortunate enough to be orange.

Don't forget to pick this up on your way out.

Maybe you'd survive if you persuaded other people to protect you, or paid them. But you wouldn't do anything that would ruin your dresses or hair.

To be fair humanity has only been part of the galactic community for thirty years in my time, my people have been exploring space when humanity was still living in mud huts.

[innest]

[SPOILER: It is.]

You might say that now, but when the CDC runs out of funds, or when you need a master of disguise, I'm sure you'll take that back.

It can't be helped unless they petition the upper brass to change their team color.

[innest]

[Arya, you're actually right. But we won't let Esmé know that.]

I can figure out ways to do anything without ruining my dresses or hair.

[innest]

That's...that's not fair! How can you be so far ahead? [PLS.]

[dowhatittakes]

[Liara is just going to give her a disbelieving stare.]

Simply because my people have been in the galaxy much longer than yours have.

The whole team can't be devoid of a sense of style, can they?

[needlebearer]

Well, good luck with that. Because we don't know what these people are going to want us to do.

[It could be ... messy. Figuratively and literally.]
