"I should be angry with you," he said. "You could have told me what your orders were."
"And then what would you have done? Follow me?"
"I'm AWOL as it is. A few more days wouldn't have made any difference."
She blew on the tip of the knife. "They weren't your orders, Peter. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad to see you. I'm not even surprised. In a weird way, it makes sense you'd be here. You're a good officer, and we'll need you. But we all have our jobs to do."
He was taken aback. A good officer? Was that all he was to her? "That doesn't sound like you."
"It doesn't matter how it sounds. That's just how it is. Maybe it's time somebody said it."

Murder on the Rising Star
(from internet transcript)
Our scouts have sent back word of yet another planet 'along the coordinates given us by our mysterious super race.
' More and more often, the planets we come across bear signs of the lost 13th tribe.
We are getting closer to Earth.
And once we have plotted her precise location, we will carefully formulate a plan for observing and sampling her culture.
Too sudden an appearance from their relations in space could send our sister world into a wave of culture shock from which she might never recover.
And are the inhabitants of Earth far in advance of us in their development or merely primitive animals
