Jim stares at Jedao for a good long moment.

Long enough to make it clear that there's something not computing, here.

"That's it?" he asks. "That's all of your speculation? To rebel or not to rebel -- are you kidding me?"

Maybe he shouldn't fault Jedao, because, hell, he just spent most of a day missing the point completely, and he had some actual perspective on the problem.

But he waits a second, just to make sure that Jedao isn't kidding him.
