Chapter 1 – Page 16
Narrator: Lieutenant Mika Fadeneir - Knight of House Bastet, 20 years old, Lynx L.
Mattrick: Yeah, funny you should mention that. It wouldn't be the first time that happened... ... like missin' a whole war.
Mattrick: Pops told me everyone thought House Bastet were bein' fashionably late. Y'know, gettin' hair and claws done up, or maybe your makeup wasn't just right. But, as it turned out... ...that double-crossin' "king" of yours was more intent on takin' over mammal space routes than he was in fighting the scalies. So if you wanna fly for the good guys, be on time.
Jake: You know I thougt you were dangerously close to having an epiphany a moment ago.
Mattrick: I don't get those, I do cardio.
Mika: Look, that was long before my time and I had nothing to do with any of it. What our former lord did was wrong, and my house paid a heavy price for it. I can't change the past. I'm here to honor my pledge, and if we're going to keep dredging up old feuds then the horde already have us beat.
