[Ah... the word "empire" actually causes Allura to pale a bit. (It's a good thing Haggar's own plans for mass cloning were nipped in the bud, and that she's from a time before the team even knew about them.)]
We arrived in this world at roughly the same time, though this is our first meeting in person. Apologies, but... which Empire would this be?
[He said he hadn't heard of Alteans before, and he wasn't hostile to her on sight, so at least it's not from that one reality. But that's still not a good thing to hear.]
[Allura relaxes, but barely. She's never heard of Coruscant, and Zarkon and Honerva's actions destroyed Daibazaal ten thousand years ago. They haven't had a single home planet in millennia, operating out of flagships and conquering other planets.]
So not the Galra. [She gives him a sober nod.] I am sorry that your world knows that hardship as well, and I'm glad that it has a chance to heal now.
[It's a little disheartening to hear that other worlds are struggling out there, although Mando knows that's just the way of things. He shakes his head at Allura's comment about healing.]
There's always another emperor or syndicate waiting.
[Riz, for the record, has absolutely nothing against clones. Or droids, if that is what the Jennies end up being.]
And listen, if they are innocent, they are innocent, and I'll completely get off their back. But considering everything that we've gone through just getting dumped here, isn't it fair to at least look into it?

[Mando shrugs.]
It collapsed a few years ago, when the Emperor died.

It's the same everywhere, I think.
[Which is why this place is so suspicious! Easy-going magical animal world with limited crime? There's gotta be more to it!]

Well, this is a separate reality. It's possible there is no such Empire here, or if there is, it merely hasn't reached this system yet.

[Look out, Allura; someone has been listening to Riz's conspiracy theories.]

Ah. [She gives a dry but not unamused smile.] I see Riz's investigation has found an audience?

[Mando isn't too fond of clones. They're better than droids, but he's still not a fan.]

[A soft nod.]
I'm sure you will, Riz. Take care of yourselves as you do so. [A pause.] And make sure to keep in touch with me and Jane as well, if you don't mind.
