"Evacuating the civilians is a good idea, though I can't say that'll be easy or you'll get everyone to agree to it. I do think you Guardians should give us non-Guardians a seat at the table. We're already involved insofar as House Winter is using us as part of their plan. Our safety is possibly affected by your choice. And I think Pelsor underestimates us."

Ben feels a little sympathy for the Fallen, if only because he sees a bit of who he used to be in their ruthless violence and stubborn pride. Saint seems to think a fight between his people and hers is inevitable, and there's some tragedy in that. Pelsor and her crew have a chance to live in peace here, but bad blood may make that impossible.

"On a better note, I'm planning to open a small spaceport soon, to modify vehicles so they can enter and leave the Nexus more easily. The machine parts, tools, and technology involved will be guarded by me. I take security very seriously. If you show me Guardian vehicles and give me an idea of how they work, I could make improvements on them."
