[Since this has tipped back into serious discussion territory, he cuts the contrary crap and watches her fists clench and unclench. (If she decided right here that she wanted to take a bite out of him, she's be inches away from snapping his neck with one of those. Caving his chest in without breaking a sweat. He hadn't thought of her that way, much, save for once, when she'd pinged back from the future and looked at him like he was a wild dog. Even then, that was limited in scope, narrow in focus. When do you start coming up with contingencies?)
Maybe the worst part of this is the increasingly likely possibility that he's going to need to rely on the aforementioned "talented nerds" to fix it if he runs the clock out on his own sanity too soon. Audentes are her people, maybe, even if ALASTAIR isn't. She has faith in the crew at large that he doesn't.]
