Smile genuinely in recognition of a kindred spirit.

"I want you to release Boris Luchenko into my custody. At least for  
the duration of our stay on the planet."

Look at her facial reactions to what I am saying. See if I can gauge  
her response to the rest.

"Are we being recorded or observed?"

If she tells me we aren't I'll continue. Otherwise I stop here until  
she assures me that we aren't being watched or recorded.

"The Imperial Navy has a vested interest in the work that Sir Jace  
Pederson is doing. Mr. Luchenko is an unwitting informant for us  
while we are here. I'm sure you have gone over my service record. You  
know I was recently retired from the service. What isn't in the  
record is that I was taken out of service to keep an eye on the  
artifacts that Sir Jace finds and report back anything of  
significance to the Admiralty, (Or whatever the appropriate term for  
the high command of the Imperial Navy is). I am also under orders to  
keep Sir Jace and his discoveries out of the hands of the  
Confederation... By any means possible."
