"Don't even start, Rodney," Khan warned. "I just want to talk business."

Liiza's killing intent intensified, but Khan promptly took her hand, stopping her from destroying the console. She glared at him, angry that he would even consider dealing with such a traitor, but he did his best to summarize that.
