Yeah, that wouldn't seem right. And yes, Akbar has been on my mind too. I think even a reasonably paranoid person would be suspicious of this idea, and Xevec is often too paranoid. I'm thinking of him having a flashback, like a door malfunctions in a tunnel when he's with a group, and he thinks they've finally conspired to kill him. So he goes into this panicked rant, and as soon as he's done the door opens.
