Last spark from the ashes

"I heard it through one of my team members, but he could've been wrong." He nods when Ghost says Pelsor claims she didn't attack children. "If she didn't go near children, and there's proof of that, I'm willing to grant her that and tell Van the same. He's a little heated and I think he fed me some bad intel, through his own anger."

Out of all the crew, Van Wall is the most anti-Fallen. Kinner's not fond of them, but he's willing to grant them more leeway than the Chief Pilot. He's just glad Van's misinformation was being corrected now. He'll have a stern word with Van later - it's a good thing it's early.

"I'll stick to two questions. Do you have any clue of what the attacks were about? The Fallen being territorial? A fear tactic? They assumed we were hostile because you were here?" Kinner shrugs, aware his anxiety's showing. "Or they just didn't like us? Secondly, do you think we can trust Pelsor not to restart the attacks next winter if conditions get bad again? We still don't know their long-term plans here in the Nexus, and I don't think they'll tell us."
