Soosie puts her face right up next to Zexter's and looks him dead in the eye.

Soosie: The Kingdom of Lili'thuania?

Zexter: Well, if I'm not mistaken, you can tell by his dialect and facial features.

Soosie: How can you be so sure?

Zexter: It's an educated guess. But, I'm more than certain that's where he comes from and not from any of the surrounding territories outside of that region.

Cale: Lili'thuania?

Soosie: Lili'thuania is one of the regions we've designated as a no fly zone. If you enter any of these designated zones, you will be pronounced dead shortly thereafter. No questions asked. No one who enters these regions ever come back.

Zexter: And with that said, I'm certain that citizens of Lili'thuania aren't allowed outside of their own region. So, if I'm right, Cale being here with us right now is a straight up anomaly. If we show up there, it may be worth a shot that they take him back.

Soosie: And what if he isn't? Wouldn't we be just pushing him into a mouse trap?

Zexter: Well, what did your systems register his DNA as?

Soosie: I..

Soosie looks at Cale and then looks at Zexter.

Zexter: Exactly. Does the United Federation have contact with Lili'thuania?

Soosie: A representative of Lili'thuania speaks with us briefly via conference call once every couple of years. But, let it be known that we don't have the DNA of every species in our own universe.

Zexter: Have you all ever collected any DNA samples on any of these individuals since the conception of the federation?

Soosie: No, because their region was and is still secluded.

Zexter: If one fly got loose, can you imagine what we're going to see next? That's why he caught their eyes. And this one isn't normal.

Cale: Blah blah blah.

Zexter: ..My point exactly.

Soosie: Cale, you had just awakened on that planet when we first met, correct?

Cale: Right.

Soosie: And now that I recall, you were wearing an insignia before. Where is it now that you know of?

Cale reaches into his pocket and pulls it out to show the crew. Zexter and Soosie take a step closer to analyze it.

Cale: If I'm not mistaking what an insignia is, I'm assuming this is what you're looking for?

Zexter then turns and looks at Soosie.

Zexter: That bad, huh?

Soosie: Oh, he's come quite a long way so far.

Cale: You got it, Sooses.

Soosie: Please don't call me that.
