[Image description: The first GIF shows Melshi at the prison worktable, looking up at the (offscreen) Narkina 5 guards with raised eyebrows and commenting "They're up there, laughing." to which Jemboc replies "Don't." The second GIF is of a conversation in the prison barracks; someone says "He never heard of it," to which Melshi, sitting down at the front of his cell and rubbing his hands back and forth, replies "Told you." with a small eyeroll. The third GIF shows Melshi telling Cassian, "Don't ever look at the number. Double, triple, it doesn't matter. You're here 'til they don't want you anymore. Get straight with that. Getting out now is just a dream. Those days are over." The fourth GIF is of Cassian in his cell, saying intently, "Melshi's right. We're cheaper than droids and easier to replace." The fifth GIF shows Melshi standing in line with the other Narkina 5 prisoners, hands behind their heads. As the other prisoners question "What happened on two?" and "We...We don't know," Melshi deadpans "They set 'em all free." End ID]

Enough! Melshi! I said, that’s enough!
