"Well, look at it this way. We just got here. But they made the mistake of putting two former Freelancers - and an AI - on a squad. Together." He bumps his shoulder against North's. "I'm not going to say we'll be out of this place inside of a week, but still...they're not going to know what hit them."
The words are far more hopeful than he feels.
