A deadly fever we cannot control

During the Dai Than Clans meeting at Thana-Shoo, Kar-Hi related that when he told Stahl that an epidemic was killing many of his clan. Stahl "...offered a Flag of truce and six Union Hospital ships arrived within the hour. Within the same day they had isolated the cause, and treated every one of us. There was not one word of hate or disrespect spoken by any of them and not a single weapon or bomb had been brought to our ships. They simply accepted my word that I would honor the truce as well! After that he let us pass."

One of the other Clan chiefs then said "My tribe too suffers from a deadly fever we cannot control. I do not care if you call me a coward or a traitor, or even Okthi-Dai! I will ask the Union for help. My Tribes well-being comes first!"
