Harley's nattering has her amused, at least. "Don't I know it." But there are cameras watching, so Porrim plasters on a smile. "But it's all for our own protection, of course. The government just wants to take care of its best assets." A standard, regurgitated bit of propaganda. Just what President Snow himself would want to hear.
