Does potential for pure mayhem count as danger? Miles at least thinks of himself as dangerous.
"Oh, I'm possibly the most dangerous thing of all to your government," he says easily, like he's unconcerned, though really he's tense, standing straight as a twig. Because he knows it's the truth and so does she. He sounds confident; it's no work at all to sell this. It's no kind of test for his persuasive skills. "I'm an informed, impartial outsider. That's the trade. I'll grant you power. The best kind of power-- knowledge. Your very own extraterrestrial knowledge spirit." Okay, maybe he's babbling a bit with the stun hangover. Get it together, Miles.
"In return, you tell me about this world, and we'll each enlighten the other. A question for a question. Deal?"
No reason not to proceed with his agenda while he's here. He'll just be getting the basic context before the specific, relevant details.
