It's playing some game, keeping us between all of these different states. If it doesn't want us to leave, it has to want something from us, right? Is it getting it from us just being here on the ship? Is it taking it while we're not paying attention?

Can't say that I know. [it's just something he wants to look into in case what it wants from them is more than they're willing to give.]
