I'll kill for her and fight for her, that's all you need to know. I'll lie for her too, but that's really a lot less useful because the last thing you'll want is me among the Cetagandans. More ably, I'm a second point of contact between you and the camp, and whatever you'll need from what the camp has, I'll get for you. A safer point of contact between you and Natasha.

[ A more direct confirmation of what Wash thinks Byerly must already suspect, that he's working with Natasha. ]
