The good thing is, it's one of thirty-seven people, so at least we know for sure it'll be someone here with us.

[ only. only slightly deadpan ]

I don't know. I mean, it'll have to be enough no matter what. If we mess this up...

[ it uh. it sounds like a bad time? ]

[asswipe]

Yeah, those odds are in no way unfair or detrimental to our progress. I'm sure this will turn out really well.

[full on deadpan.

she's tired.]

I don't want to think about that right now. It's bad enough that one innocent person is dead, as it is.

[ he lays a hand on her arm, face solemn ]

It'll be fine. Trust me, we won't let them get away. It's the only thing we can do right now.
