May we speak?

Of course. What about?

[redeker_plan]

I wish to return to my world.

[kurt_bamf]

I can imagine so...

[redeker_plan]

I am needed there. It is quite important. I must return and finish the work that was begun.

I am prepared to return here, once I have acquitted myself of my obligations there. You and I both know that I would have no choice but to return, should the admiral agree.

[kurt_bamf]

What work are you referring to, Paul?

I do not think a visit to one's home world can be done, or the Admiral will grant such a request.

[redeker_plan]

My name is Xolelwa, not Paul. Are you feeling ill, Kurt?

[kurt_bamf]

...Oh.

Xolelwa? That's one I haven't heard before.

[redeker_plan]

It is my first name, of course. My surname, you know well, is Azania.

[kurt_bamf]

Ah, of course.

[redeker_plan]

You see my predicament, Sir. I must return and complete the work of implementing the Redeker Plan. I am the only one left who knows its intricacies.

[kurt_bamf]

Completing? As in, preventing those many deaths?

[redeker_plan]

...Something to that effect.

[kurt_bamf]

Please elaborate. The more I know, the better I can explain to the Admiral.

[redeker_plan]

I was brought here at the beginning of the implementation of the Plan. Therefore, Paul is the cause, and we are serving a sentence here because of the effect.

I must return to Cape Town and see this through to its natural end - in essence, to commit the crime with which we are charged.

Then, I will return, and serve my sentence.

[kurt_bamf]

How would returning to see even more murders be beneficial?

[redeker_plan]

Returning to ensure the proper implementation of the Plan would save lives.
