Ka-lo-Prim touched Zeer's arm, "Poor Zac-Namu, he must be hurt very badly."
"Me too. We canna help it. Findin' Shannie has opened some old wounds. Our culture was destroyed with the loss of the Emerald Planets. It made us no happier that we were the only ones to escape. Shannon MacTarn is me only brother. As he was the oldest male MacTarn, he followed our Grampa to an Admiralty star. He was picked early to rise all the way to the Emerald Throne. Even in his twenties, he was the best bridge officer in the Emerish fleet."
"Well, he escaped. That should be proof of his ability as an Admiral and a pilot. "
"Aye, and now, I canna decide whether he would have been better off dying back then with his honor intact. I will find 'im. I will stop ‘im from hurtin’ ought else! I’ll kill him meself if'n I hafta."
