Palmer uses sci-fi lingo mostly by habit. It's something he's used to, and it's one of the ways he understands things like this.

"If you're sure you can convince them not to attack you, talking to Pelsor directly ain't a bad idea. The others listen to her, so maybe if you get her to come around the others will follow. But that's a very big if. She's only listened to Reynard and Loki so far, and we don't know why they got a pass. You're gonna need a plan to get in there and a plan to get them to listen to you."

Palmer has no problem with Loki, even though he doesn't necessarily agree with him. He thinks Loki had a good goal - he probably wanted everybody to let the Fallen stay partly so Ghost could be rescued. Loki did leave a lot of unanswered questions, though.

"There's a lot of things Loki didn't tell us at that meeting when he brought back Blaze's head. Why Pelsor was willing to listen to him, for example, and where Reynard fits into all this. He didn't let the Fallen in, but he did help them, and I bet he talked to Pelsor. Watching us fight like it was a game or something."
