"Elementary, my dear sir.

 I've known everyone else in this facility for more than twenty years.
 You are not one of us, but you are obviously not one of the Simple either.
 You can't have come from Earth because the forcefield is blocking all
 V-space warps larger than a pea.

 But we have detected an apparently uncontrolled burst of V-space activity
 inside the forcefield.  From the V-space warp signature we found a source
 date BEFORE any commercial V-space activity.. it can only be Villani!

 So you must be Jesus Villani!"

"Our master was a young entrepreneur who ordered us from TL Aerospace.
 He wanted a fleet of reconnaisance jets to cash in on the surveillance
 market.  We were the first, and he named us 'Sherlock' and 'Watson'.

 When the master died there were eight of us and we were each left with an
 equal stake in the company.
 But there was a slump in the market and the others gradually lost interest
 or got better offers with larger firms.  Now it's just Watson and myself."

 We can map the planet more accurately than the ship scanners, and we're
 cheaper than the satellites you'd need to get that level of detail.

 Also we can use thermal imaging and other pods to monitor wildlife, which
 is what we were doing until the invasion.  Now we're doing military work
 again."
