Tayrey didn't mean anything else by it, because if she refers to her captor at all it's by calling him an evil djinn, or sometimes even that bastard. She'll never again be that excitable young Tradeliner who was overjoyed by any compliment from a captain, but to her, normality is reasserting itself. There are good captains and bad, those she'll work with and those she won't, but they're all leaders, one way or another. They all know how to take responsibility. Their captor did not, and hearing his kidnap victims continue to call him captain disgusted Tayrey. Especially after the Village, when people had latched onto a silly name for Number Two and understood the power in it. She simply doesn't think of him by that title at all.

She's all too eager to explain her Code, though. 'It's to do with our values,' she tells Ava. 'The most fundamental is that we don't initiate aggression. No pre-emptive strikes on people who haven't done anything yet, no cautionary arrests because some planetary council got worried - no aggressive action at all unless harm is done to us, our business, or the people under our protection. We end conflicts, but we don't start them. Then we've got to safeguard life, liberty and property - people's essential freedoms, in other words. So I won't do work that means restricting innocent people or seizing what they own. I will act to protect people from harm, safeguard them and their property and their right to live and do business in peace and freedom.'

Having her trauma used as fuel is a clear violation of her rights, but one not mentioned in the code, because the founders of the Tradelines never imagined that kind of depravity. Kidnap, imprisonment and torture covers the situation comprehensively enough, though.
