We already have enough problems.

[ this being a good indicator of that! but he frowns as he thinks, rubbing absently at his right arm as he does. ]

Who was it... [ hm. pulling up his I.R.I.S. to access the crew roster and scroll through names. ] Someone younger, someone maybe close to Soniya... She was around the same age as me, if I remember right, so maybe younger than her -

[ oh, he pauses, scrolling back up from where he'd been going. ]

Dev Clarick. They were the one who died on the concourse. Someone's listed that down, so - someone figured that out. They were our youngest crewmate at 19.

[ humorless huff of a laugh. ]

Can't say Voltron was much better, but that was... just as out of our hands, as this rotation was. [ The Call doesn't care how old you are when it enlists you. ] I think Dev signed on willingly - legitimately, not our rewritten memories version. But I can see why you got the feeling of someone so young dying being so upsetting now.

... Yeah.

Even if they signed up willingly, no one should have let them aboard.
