They did, which makes me really curious how they managed to contact you in the first place. Doesn't seem like River did much for that one. [Nuwa AI--look can we call her Sunny? He kind of wants to ask her name but again they're working on borrowed time. Okay, no, distractions. He nods along slowly because again it makes sense. It's self-preservation and he has to admit that if he were in her position he'd do whatever's necessary to prevent a total lose of people, too. (Resources, whatever.)
Still, he doesn't like the idea of fucking up entirely just for a ship filled with people he mostly doesn't know.]
The thing about that is that by giving them immunity and not giving them a choice, that's taking away their free will. [He's not cool with that.] It's like...if you had a choice on what to do with your passengers on the Nuwa you would want to be able to make that yourself, wouldn't you? Do you not trust your resources to play along? There's also the fact that we were told if neither ship kills we'd be purged so this is pretty much setting us up for a really, really bad situation.
You managed to play the montage for your passengers of everything we've done these last few months. [He pauses, unsure of how to continue before looking at his feet.] Look. I get it. We can't get our shit together but we're trying. There has to be another route that doesn't end in us being purged and your ship being purged if one of the Souvlaki attacks. That's what it's gonna come down to, you know that? None of us that want to save that ship are gonna do anything, but the aliens will attack and then you lose everyone anyway. We're doing the best we can and I...you've gotta admit. We could be valuable resources, too, if both projects are the same and you get the winning lots after we purge the remaining aliens.
