[She almost loses him with the anecdote, but by the end Hibiki could tell he was thinking it over from the expression on his face. She had a point. There's no way to know for sure.
And the idea makes him a bit angry, because he knows how easy it would be for the Barkeep to draw Sparks, Red and Jim back to Mars to handle it, but he won't. All that nonsense about not being able to interfere.
Sparks's eyes narrow, and he frowns as he chews on this idea. Without him there, Mars could be falling apart!]
N...o, no, I mean, ya could be right. But we ain't got any way 'a tellin'. Y'know, I know someone who could fix all this in a jif. But he'd go on about not being able to "interfere" with his amazing cosmic powers. [That line's delivered with a healthy dose of mockery and air quotes.] Reckon that's another story for another day, though. If the Empire knows this much about us, I guess it's totally possible for 'em to be able to visit our homes. Meanin' I need to get back to Mars sooner than later to find out and kick 'em out.
