I've already given Ikuri the "justice" talk. She's angry because she feels close to Crona. She knows who she's supposed to go after, she won't harm them unless they try to escape or fight.
[Nevermind that fact that Ikuri had only just met Crona... Colin knows that Ikuri's still trying to figure things out. He's getting a better picture of her state of life the more he hangs around her.]
And... that's a very good point, Otoha. If I can get anything more to that effect, I will. But... obviously, this isn't going to be easy.
[English.]
Let me explain a little...
We were on a peaceful mission when your group ambushed us. Your group attacked our allies and killed two of us, on what was supposed to be a milk run.
Many of us are very angry. That said... We're not going to slaughter you, nor are we going to torture you. We're going to protect you from those that would like to do either of those.
You ARE going to be imprisoned, though. Attempting to escape will give the vengeful the reason they need to hunt you. I don't think I need to elaborate on that one... Obviously, I can't say "don't try to escape" and expect you to listen. Gods above and below know that if I were in your shoes, I'd be trying everything in my power to get out of here.
[Sure is saying a lot to ask about the core, isn't he?]
But whatever the case, if you value your lives, it would be in your best interests to cooperate. We gain nothing by your deaths, and many of us would prefer that you not die. Can't speak for everyone, obviously, but the same can be said of all groups.
Now, Zuko and I would like to know... Why was your group after the core? What was worth ambushing and killing two of ours for, trying to kill ALL of them for?
[Oh, and he's scanning both of the prisoners deeply. He wants their bio-signatures and any identifying information he can get to keep track of them. Plus, if one of them's packing an internal explosive, he doesn't want to be caught off guard. And before anyone says that's crazy, we'll just remind you that Colin IS carrying around enough anti-matter to annihilate a city.]
