Yuri didn't know what Officer Lyao planned to do about the situation. After dialing him, she obediently stayed put.
Her face was expressionless, her eyes focused on the opticomputer in her hand, watching the seconds tick by.
When Tuss arrived, he found her standing alone, a cold, fragile figure.
"Don't worry." Tuss said, draping his jacket over her. "I'll protect you."
Yuri looked back at him, her clear, innocent eyes blinked as she said, "If my secrets get exposed, my life would still be the same as now, wouldn't it?"
Tuss frowned and said gently, not wanting to lie, "I'm afraid it wouldn't."
"Right, it wouldn't be the same," Daleks, who had just arrived, chimed in. "The alphas will probably treat you like a delicate treasure. You might become the real jewel of the Alliance."
Yuri's lips twitched as she said, "But that doesn't sound like a good thing to me."
