[ No, no they won't. He suspects if it comes down to that, many of them will act as they see fit - and he can only hope it won't be in ways that compromise each other. A well oiled team or a single, united people they are not.

If it comes down to it, Sam won't interfere in something that will get them out safe. ]

( Some training. ) [ Some of them haven't been on a mission at all, many of them only Waypoint Shril, and a few of them had only just begun to actually have any kind of training at all, let alone in training together. For all that Sam had started trying to change that.

He doesn't disagree, though. The opposite, actually - there's a hum of acknowledgement across the link. Put in that perspective, it does seem like a test. Hearing she has at least a little glimpse about the Enemy, however... ]

( Would you share them with me? )

[adamance]

( I think you'll find what I have to offer disappointing. )

[That's not a "no," but the missions she's glimpsed are really no different from what they witnessed before they brought here.]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

( At this point I'll take anything I can get. )

[adamance]

( We'll need to meet. I also won't be able to offer it all at once. )

[She is not Cathaway. It had taken a strain on her to offer it all, and Lexa has no wish to push herself so greatly.]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ Fair enough, and Sam leaves the impression of easy acceptance across their connection. He's in no rush; he can wait for the whole thing. ]

( Where are you? It might not be nothing more than what you already know, but I can share the few things I've learned about the Station. )

[ Not what he'd intended when he contacted her to relay his conversation with Cathaway, and perhaps not exactly the best timing for information sharing unrelated to the mission, but he offers anyway. ]

[adamance]

( Cathaway offered me the information with the intention of sharing. )

[It was an odd matter of "not having gotten around to it yet," as her first choice would have been Bruce before he went to sleep.]

( We can meet in the garden. )

[sizeofyourbaggage]

( I never feel like I'm sure what Cathaway's intentions are. )

[ He's been asked, why he thought she gave this warning to him, but though he's got more than a few guesses he can't say any of them are right. That ain't the point, though, and he sends a hum of acknowledgement before making his way to the garden. ]

[adamance]

I never said that it was Cathaway's intention. I asked for the information while stating that I intended to share it. [Lexa only offers these words upon arrival. Some part of her is worried (albeit in a strained, distant way) about sharing this information, because it's one thing to know the theory, and another to do it in practice.

She has shared so little with other people here that it's not surprising that she might struggle with that here.]
