Numbers are fair-weather, and if you have ever been involved with a cause before, you would understand. Those "numbers" are readily diminished. I do not trust them, and have no interest in simply bolstering our field with those that would readily leave once their fortune has passed.
[ It's frank, but perhaps there's a logic to it. This was world-shattering, after all. Important. A cause worth fighting meant that those who signed on should believe in it, not simply just be there to fill a slot. Though, Silco was probably one of the few that had been burned by such fair-weather loyalty to a cause. ]
That being said, few of us are here to pay for your loyalty either. [ A single eye blinked. ] Did you join on thinking we would... "pony up" for it?
