It's the first time he's been forced to tell the truth about his wife's role in the attack, and it's painful, he says. He's also worried about how he'll manage to keep running the school, since dana hasn't been able to participate in the play. He asks singh if he can wrap things up with the kids so they can have a chance to meet him, and singh says he can, but he needs to get the story straight. He says that his wife was a "international terrorist" , and that's why he didn't tell anyone about her activities. He also says that the only reason the government is paying attention to earthlight now is because of the recent attack by the iranians on three unmarked planes. He wants to make sure that the people of the colony know how much they care about him and his family, and they won't let the government slash their budgets next time. singh asks if there's anything else he can do, and he says he doesn't know.
