( Our time here wears on us. It always does on these missions. One month may be nothing compared to the span of our lives as they are now, but we are as we have been from the beginning: the blind led by someone who is less than that. If we are truly a distraction, then we should at least be willing participants. We have no reason to trust what Rhan intends because Rhan is hardly part of us. Wariness is the least we should ask for. )

[Lexa knows that she shouldn't speak on Rhan's intentions without speaking to her herself, but that's beside the point right now.]

[ There's something to be said about attempting to draw divisions between what may be a whole. A host may be one thing, so is a brood, but none as complete as the entire nest. That is to say, Misato responds with hesitation, because the difference between Rhan being a part of them, as any other person in the nest is a part of them, is so slight as to be immeasurable. ]

( Let's just keep digging. I don't intend on staying blind until we find the gun already pointing our way. )

[adamance]

( But where do we dig now? )

[To Lexa, there is always a divide, a belief in a nation over anyone who's an outsider. To her, the divisions make sense. Rhan and the others were here for a year spying. That is their own nation (so to speak). The group brought here now is another nation. And so on.]

( Everywhere. Leave no stone left unturned, isn't that what people say? )

[adamance]

( They say that, but sometimes those stones may be wasting your precious time. )

[wille]

( So is choosing to turn only, say, the blue stones without good reason for ignoring all the others. )

[adamance]

( So you begin to find reasons to narrow down the stones. Means to do so, as well. We're accomplishing nothing because we have been attempting to handle all the stones on this mission, while our guides have had more information than the rest of us. We have no choice but to narrow our focus. )
