Blaze nods a little at first, but she seems more puzzled as Harley goes on. Vital information being kept from them? That's a serious charge. If Blaze thought someone was hiding anything, she'd have had words about it before now.
"Kirk and Durant? What makes you think they're keeping anything from us? What is there to hide, even? We only learned what our enemy is today, and I'm the one with data to spill on that." She frowns intensely at Harley. "Besides- I don't know, maybe Durant's the type. But you think Kirk over there is keeping back anything that could help? He can barely hide the way his hands shake."
...Ghost is too far away to hiss at her to be tactful.
Still puzzled, the Titan folds her arms. Glances at the rest of the volunteers. "As for the others, well, some of 'em are soldiers already. They know what they're in for. Are the rest ready? No. Pretty damned sure they ain't. But we don't have the luxury of picking and choosing. Who's willing and able, goes. We'll worry about psych workups if they survive for it to matter. You raise a good point about security when we come back, though. Best check with Lyall. Most people here are so hungry you could push them over right now, but I don't want to have to get rough with civilians. Won't end well. If he doesn't have something planned, you'd better get him working on it."
