[On the one hand, at least he looks a little sheepish with that.] Sorry. I'm still kind of getting used to how you guys operate. We weren't sure just how much you knew about the Pygmalion and the roles we have and everything.
[He pauses though, sharing a look with Adam to try and find some footing in the conversation. Part of him thinks that at least they have the AI's attention and curiosity, otherwise she could have told them to fuck off a while ago. On the other hand, he has to wonder how far they can push this. So...he thinks quietly for a moment.]
I'm still not too clear why two projects are running at the same time when killing wasn't meant to be the objective of the Cradle Project. We know that part. And I get what it's like to have something set in stone and be unavoidable, but that doesn't mean you can't make some changes along the way. I--[He finally settles for leaning against his desk facing the AI, folding his arms over his chest and closing his eyes a bit.] You've got some of the most incredible people on the Nuwa. You put on the immunity. I think you have the power to take it back off. Have you directly asked your new crew what they would like to do?
[Those are important, but also:] River put us in connection with you this time. And Adam made a point. Jack trusted a group of people with this information and if one of us were an alien we would've already killed him. I've known for almost two weeks, Adam's known for a week. Thursday nights and Friday mornings are usually our killing days around here, so since we haven't really had a chance to do that yet I want to ask you to trust us a little bit. River put us in contact with you. Maybe she can do it again so we can report back to you about what happens on this ship so you can save your crew before it's too late no matter what the outcome is here.
