Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't trust an authority above me any farther than I can fire them. And that's far. Even if I liked them, I'd be questioning them without all of the disaster we've encountered this past week and a half. Now it's just extra incentive to try and pry open our own contracts, let alone yours, to see what comes out of the binding.
[ le shrug back ]
... they've been through a lot. Not enough that I would call them frail, but they're prone to self-sacrifice.
I know you've all said that the job was good so you kept it, but -- there's gotta be more to it than that. You've said the cash wasn't a big draw, so what was?
[ what about creepy space adventures lured you in, yelan... ]
...
Mm. That makes them sound kinda difficult to work with.
Money is useful for bribes and threats, but it wasn't a draw, no. [ be less sketchy with your answers, adrastea. ] A stable job with the opportunity for travel that would net me information and answers. Many of us were scouted, some are here looking for something or another. I know Thebe does need the money.
[ but they sigh, a sound the synthesizer struggles with. ]
Self-sacrifice runs rampant in this crew. Some worse than others. They forget the people they would be leaving behind if their idiocy succeeded.
It is. And I don't blame them, considering how extorted the people are on their homeworld.
[ nyeh. but - ]
Europa, Metis, Ganymede, almost all tied for most likely. Io will if they think the cause is worth it. I like a little danger and risk, but I don't throw myself into things blindly. Amalthea and Thebe are less likely, but in different ways.
… Right. So… the money’ll be for or to get out of that situation. [ hmmm. me grabbing thebe by the next. whomst. ] If your situations bad enough, you’ll do anything.
[ points at g’raha and xiao. NO. ]
So, if I see any of the first three running at something, trip them. [ don’t do that ]

What's the ranking from most likely to throw themselves into something dangerous to least, then. Most people like that do.

Callisto, these days? Not at all likely.

But they would’ve in the past?
