We have no way of knowing, because we're still young. But we are being led into a mission by someone who isn't trustworthy. I predict that we'll be better served by approaching the mission on our own merits. Not hers. [Lexa thinks (and allows Bellamy to consider) of when she referred to the Enemy's goals, and how they could determine more of the Enemy's aims by who they align themselves with. The fact that each group is the "same" struck her as odd.

It's odder now, considering. It's not a matter of morals. They need to play their role effectively.]

I don't think she and her brood need to know anything else about our merits.

[ They've shared enough, and Bellamy can't keep the others from sharing more. But he worries about what they've given up already. In hindsight, they should have played their cards closer to the chest rather than spilling out their perceptions and opinions so freely. ]

Murphy's worried about the new hatch she mentioned.

[ Unspoken: Bellamy is also worried about it, now that it's been so clearly pointed out to him. ]

[adamance]

Worried why? We get newcomers all the time.

[This is a measure of how much she trusts Bellamy: she wants to know his perspective, rather than simply deciding upon it herself. There has to be a reason for why there is an odd emphasis placed on this group by Bellamy and Murphy.

(Though there is no trust devoted toward the latter, for obvious reasons.)]

[ That she solicits his opinion at all is something Bellamy notes. It's a marked enough change from when he'd first arrived. He sits instead, rubbing a hand over his face while he chooses his words. The unease he feels doesn't translate easily into words. ]

We don't know what's going to hatch. And this missions doesn't feel like Concordia or Waypoint. There's not as much room for us to make mistakes.

[ Bellamy's thinking of Kylo Ren and the Bout It Out parlor, how public that had been. ]

[adamance]

There are those among us who already pose a danger to us. [Like it or not, there will always be wild cards.] But you are right, it will be difficult to contain the more ... capricious of them. [Lexa wishes that they could be kept out of the mission. That they'll be introduced to it is a bigger problem than it needs to be.]

Perhaps something can be made of it. There are those among us who believe that we were tricked to join, that the threat we faced is nothing more than an illusion. That fear may drive them moving forward.

start wrappin' this?

[ If the other hosts couldn't be adequately motivated, they'd have to resort to more extreme methods. Bellamy wasn't going to consider them, but he couldn't ignore that there may be a need for them. ]

We can evaluate once we're on the ground.

[ At least give everyone the benefit of the doubt, though Bellamy's apprehension is obvious. ]

I wanted you to be on guard.

[ They don't have to take any concrete action now. But Bellamy had wanted to be prepared, to share what he knew. ]

[adamance]

I will be. If any other concerns arise, please tell me.

[Whether it be something Bellamy himself finds out or if Murphy learns something.]
