If they were to prefer to stay in a dangerous situation like this one, would it be morally correct to subject them to a life of isolation on the Station instead? Perhaps then the only responsible thing to do is pose the question? But if a brood is split, the remaining half is weakened considerably by their lack. If this is a 'war' [he sounds unconvinced], is it correct to allow a contingent of our willing foot soldiers to be so vulnerable for the sake of a minority's comfort?
[Et cetera, et cetera. A pause in which Lyr seems to brush his own questions aside - as if they were for his benefit alone.]
