[That's a tough one. It's something that everyone here lives in fear of, isn't it? Having your people from awful worlds, who are dead back home, be ported out before you know it? It's happened to Jaime more times than he cares thinking about it, to people who've talked about wanting to stay here forever because their homes are so miserable. Even if Ken's friends make it out all right, Jaime knows for a fact that there's plenty of people he already has that concern about -- mostly because he lives with one of them.]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a scary one. I think that's the sort of thing that scares everyone here.

[Everyone knows someone... either that, or they are that someone.]

I'm not gonna tell you not to be scared now, or to be sad if it happens, but you have to have hope too. Until you know something for a fact, you can't just assume the worst.

[God, he hopes he's not talking out of his ass.]

I don't think they'd want you to assume the worst either.
