[X] Scanning: Harlan himself has a lot of useful spheres for these purposes. He can observe the firearms officers and find out quite a lot about them, while laying low.
[X] Moving to Backup (1.2x): Harlan has a bad feeling about this. He's going to discreetly move in the direction of the paramilitaries in case Elissa needs the assistance.
[X] Yes. (Write-in: Their conversation isn't done, but more importantly if evasion fails and it comes to a fight they can both agree that their chances of survival are better together than if they're caught alone.)
[X] Yes. Because Jazmin gave her life for Elissa, and Jamelia only exists because of that. It's a debt to her own birth, insofar as such a concept exists. Or maybe it's just a memory of Jazmin's willingness to die for the same of her daughter bleeding in. Jamelia isn't sure, and she doesn't have the time to analyse her own motives.
[X] Observe: There's no reason to engage them without full information. She wants to know who they are and what they want. She plans to double back under stealth and shadow them, just to confirm that they're not here for her.
[X] Yes. (Write-in: Why?) Because this conversation isn't finished, because run or fight it will be easier with somebody watching her back and offering up knowledge, because if Elissa wants a chance to avenge herself upon Jamelia this is it, and because she hopes against hope deep down that she can have have a healthy human relationship with her daughter and not fail her, or Starling, or her earlier self.
