[ That's an unintended consequence that hadn't yet occurred to Snake, but Jim is right. While there had only been one instance of people coming in through a planet's Ingress instead of the ship's, it had happened which means that it could happen again. And if the Moira doesn't end up docking to pick those people up, what the hell is going to happen to them? ]

I wonder if the captains thought that part through. [ His voice is grim as he stares off, already suspecting that they haven't. They've got a lot on their plate, after all. Still, that's no excuse for potentially getting some people stranded out in space with no real option for how to get home.

While Jim doesn't exactly ask a question, it is something that he's looking for confirmation on, so Snake nods. ] That's their story, anyway. Who knows, that might just be the lie they're selling us so that we go along quietly with their plan so that they can get home.

[ It's the only viable option they've got, though, so Snake's done his part and played nice. ]
