"What is that Ma'am?" asked Steiner.
"You are from outside this solar system, aren't you?"
"We are Ma'am."
"Then why are you named after a planet in ours?"
"We aren't named after them Ma'am."
"But you are called the 'Pluto Knights'?"
"Yes we are Ma'am."
"Then why?"
"We are named after the individual that we would prefer to be the Emperor's co-ruler, Ma'am."
