"They do not. They are woefully without imPorts. Which was what I had counted on. Which is why my presence was honored and my requests were not denied." Starr popped a piece of sushi in his mouth, chewing it quietly. Did he care he was committing treason? Hardly. What was the worst they could do to him? Kill him? Send him to his home world? Lock him up? He could easily turn their punishment around on them -- turn imPorts against them. The US is forcing imPorts to stay under their thumb. We are not free to make our own choices.
It would ignite division. It would create controversy. And Starr would be the least of their problems.
"The truth is, we need an alternate plan for when the United States is inevitably attacked and some other nation wishes to possess the imPorts. Germany seems to be a viable option."
Hans doesn't respond for a moment, having another piece of sushi while he considers Starr's alternate plan.
"Given that the Porter is the key to any country's 'possession' of imPorts and it's doubtful that could be relocated, I would think something clandestine is more likely to have a chance of success."
