Seeing Commander Bright look almost neurotic because of his words, Xiao Ran had no choice but to cough heavily to interrupt whatever Bright was agonizing over. When he saw the flash of confusion in the other's eyes as he looked up, Xiao Ran could only shake his head helplessly.
Bright perhaps knew that he had seemed distracted earlier, but he clearly had not fully come back to his senses. Without thinking, he asked, "Lord Xiao Ran, is there anything else?"

Bright only felt his mind turning to mush, a complete mess with no clear train of thought to be found. He clearly knew that he should calm down and discuss their future path and direction, yet he could not even grasp the slightest clue.
Shaking his head, Bright replied, "I don't know if Lord Xiao Ran has any ideas."

Xiao Ran continued, "Also, the Nir-Akama was occupied twice in succession. I think its internal security arrangements need to be reassessed. We cannot allow the same thing to happen
