I-- Thank you. And I think I owe you an acknowledgment myself. That I knew your requests for aide, for helping you with Cazador and I promised I would help you in whatever what I could. I feel that by ... giving up at the moment of pressure, I somewhat abandoned you. And that was wrong of me.

I think you are correct. We will have options. We will make ourselves options, if necessary.
