My honest opinion? [He takes a deep breath first. His honest honest opinion is, there's nothing about "all this" that doesn't piss him off. But at the same time, he is the responsible adult and voice of reason here.]
I think we're standing on the edge of a knife. If anyone does anything stupid, a lot of people are going to die. [This means you, Kaneda. He knows you like to take things head-on. Do not do anything stupid.]
You and Tetsuo are from the same world, aren't you? You've seen World War III.
[Eugh RISE... that was their leader making a big speech about her war boner earlier. But if it's just Sabriel...
... Wait what am I thinking.]
Supplies for what? Even if you are going on a rescue mission, which isn't on the table yet, I have teleportals. No one's going trekking across the Siberian wilderness, for God's sake.
One, it's technology, not a power. Two, stop calling me "old man." Three, what exactly are you planning to do? Charging in half-cocked isn't going to help anyone. You're just going to get yourself captured, too - or worse.
[In both senses - the concrete (Qubit's the one with the teleportals) and the implied (he can come up with waaay better plans than whatever yours is (says him)).]
Of course, it's going to take more than the two of us. Who else have you talked to? Sabriel, and...
[For a while, Qubit doesn't say anything. There's ample reason not to trust Tetsuo, but... the kid knows who his friends are, now, at least. And that goes a long way.
Is it to the point where they can rely on him? Absolutely not. But ...]
This is going to take a coordinated effort. I need to know he'll be able to follow directions.

[He didn't see World War III happen, but he was living in the house it built. Which is why he's here in the first place.]
I'm not here to fight in this damn war they've gotten themselves into.
I just want to get those imPorts back.

This is bigger than Heropa, and we're gonna need supplies.
I talked to Sabriel, and I thiiiink she can grab em for us from RISE. [Kaneda he didn't even say he was joining your little mission.]

Provided he can do that, I'll allow it. Whatever team we end up with, I won't have them killing anyone.
