Well, there's no use in keeping information private when we're in this situation.
[that's not a lie- there really isn't. he withholds information because he can control how people will react to limited information, but this is a grander scale of chessboard than he's ever worked. he really can't afford to keep anything to himself.]
Zeta-12 was straightforward- keep a clutch of infant creatures alive as we brought them by foot to a sanctuary. If it was your first mission here, and you hadn't heard anything about Nalawi or Anwick then you would have imagined that all missions might be just as simple. Fortunately, I'd heard about Nalawi from Evan-san, and investigated the others on my own.
As far as I can tell, Zeta-12 was an anomaly. The only dangers were what you would expect from a harsh wilderness planet, and there were no unexpected hitches to impede our progress.
Which means that we're supposed to be mixed up in 'unexpected hitches' as a rule, yeah?
[He's only heard whispers of Nalawi and Anwick; the tones that Spider-Woman and Loki had spoken of the missions in were those not of a job entirely well done.
Political messes are far from unfamiliar territory, and yet...]
Babysitting sounds like a cakewalk when you look at everything we had to deal with here. Especially with so many voices. [yours included jin you hypocrite] There has to be a better way to put up with so many curve balls.
[He's met enough of his teammates who are in this for the money, for the fun of it, or who simply don't care-- not to mention the people who aren't especially enthusiastic about being here in the first place. (Chihiro and the other young children of Audentes: they really shouldn't be here at all, exposed to so much danger and uncertainty.)]
Then you'd like to unify ALASTAIR under a banner. Or at least Audentes.
Something like that. [it's a start, anyway. a way to get the pieces in order, much as he hates to admit to thinking of it in those terms.] We're here because we have no choice and there's no love loss from me, much less anyone else, in how ALASTAIR conducts their affairs even if I agree with what they're doing, but if nothing else, figuring out what's going on and how it applies to us is a more sensible goal than ALASTAIR's.
