Mordecai didn't say anything after hearing all of those statement from Rex.
"Yes," he said. "I believe it is."
Rex nodded once and then walked down the hallway that led to the transit point.
"I'll be back when the expedition is over. Three days, maybe four."
"Just try not to do anything significant while I'm out in the field."
"What do you mean by significant?" Mordecai asked.
"If you have to ask," Rex said, "assume it is and wait."
He turned the corner and found Lilith was already at the transit point, standing with her hands folded in front of her. Rex already had a bad feeling just seeing her act all weird.
She had also, Rex noticed, prepared a small bag.
"What the fuck is that?" he said.
"Oh... this? It's a gift," Lilith said. "For the expedition."
