[ But to Bellamy, most of these missions feel intangible. It's hard to feel as if they've made progress when they've never seen their Enemy and can't measure their defeats in some concrete way. A victory would be leaving this world even marginally better than when they found it, knowing they'd put the Nectar into the right hands instead of just directed it away from the Enemy. ]
But I'm used to things being more straightforward than this.
