No, I didn't catch that about The King, lol. I still don't believe he and Brigitte were picked up in FTL by Mo and Tas, but I can't quite figure out what the truth around that Big Lie really is.
Well, I see KE lied about when the temp was 105 - it was *after* the flight, not before.
She was CYA'ing when she said it had come down "so she could fly" - saying it in retrospect, as if justifying her not knowing or caring how high ANS's fever had been before getting on the plane.
