The alien's attitude was little more than a childish attempt at regaing control over a situation in which she was powerless. If it made her feel better to treat others as subordinates, who was Felia to complain?Continuing to dig through the dirt and duracrete, widening their escape to the surface, the masqued clawdite slowed 'her' efforts; the better to hear the outside world through the new hole. She dug with her hands now, again silently cursing the neimodian, this time for her mere presence as she prevented her from shapeshifting her hands into digits better suited for the task of digging."..Do you expect to have trouble leaving the planet, madam chancellor?" she asked, speaking in a reserved, respectful tone and hiding her annoyance. "If the republic is in orbit, it could prove difficult to escape," she added, justifying her inquery, wondering if the ugly, lipless woman beside her had even consitered the possibilities.Dumping dirt and rock aside carefully, she strained her ears for any explosions or other sounds of battle. I'll leave first, she told herself, that way if there are any soldiers around I can pull out my blaster and take Dophina prisoner. They won't execute her here... I hope.. But, I'm sure they'll spare me if I deliver her to them, and even being taken prisoner by the republic would be better than putting up with her for a prolonged spaceflight.Finally making a hole big enough for her to squeeze through, Felia listens for one final moment before peering out, and clambering through the exit into the dim light beyond.</blockquote>
