Meanwhile, as Napolean and Illya return to UNCLE headquarters, in a hidden Thrush Satrap a strange conversation takes place.

"As you can see, this world is currently broken up into many warring communities. We here at Thrush are attempting to form them into a united organisation but we have to face constant difficulties caused by various terrorist and criminal organisations. One in particular causes us many problems. This is a secret organisation called UNCLE and it is a major player in preventing us from uniting the communities of this world.

We were hoping that in return for our assistance in providing criminals for you to study and materials for the repair of your ship you would be interested in allowing us to study your technology. With the advances this could provide it would become much easier for us to bring peace to this war torn world."

The voice that replies is femine sounding but with electronic overtones, as if sent through a modulator of some sort.

"We will consider what you say. Meanwhile we are fascinated by this thing the one you provided called sex. We would study it and the pale one who came to it more. Are they what you call a mated pair? Does this sex cause the beings pain?"
