  - Patriotism is nothing to do with it - calmly replied Forell. - I 
gamma-quantum is not given for the benefit of the Second Empire. Even loss-making transaction is not 
will disrupt the sake of it. However, agree that the current Empire is not the yoke 
benefit neither my nor your cause. If the Empire wins 
need not dealers, but watch. 
  - In large numbers, - the fourth confirmed. 
  Second zaerzal angrily. 
  - Why involve the improbable? Empire did not win. Sam Seldon
