Before we boarded our shuttle, Arada told me, “You don’t have to do this. I know facing these people, after what they did to your—the other two SecUnits. It can’t be easy. And I don’t feel right asking you to do this so soon after you hacked your governor module. This must be a confusing time for you.” It is confusing. But following protocol and assisting in a retrieval are familiar. I told her, “I want to do this.” She nodded. “Thank you. If you can get SecUnit back—well, a lot of people will be very grateful.”
