Alright. You're out of friends to team with, and you aren't ready to team with an enemy - not that you have any.
Under any other circumstance you'd go to Rukbat, but that's too sore a subject right now. So acquaintances it is.

You scroll through your friend list on Trollian, trying to decide who's likely to team with who. Eventually, you decide on Karika.
You know she's moirails with Coeval, and that she's fairly nice to you when you sell her grubhorns. And that's about it. But through the list of likely teams, being with them sounds a great deal less awkward than, say, Tatzun and Eiades. You have your own breakup to deal with, let alone theirs.
