(For a moment, Breq's statement registers differently to Lucretia; she hears 'with' a ship and crew. So the same as her. Then she pauses as the exact words catch up with her.)
As a ship and crew? I'm... afraid I don't understand.
(Breq has a look about her like she doesn't particularly want to answer this question. She looks a little lost, a little frustrated. Lucretia is hasty to back track the moment she starts to steer the conversation in a different direction.)
Nevermind it'sā unimportant. I was on a ship too, for... business, I suppose. I used to work for the Institute of Planar Research and Exploration as its chronicler.
