What, having a target? Or what to do about the target? [ he's genuinely curious because he's also been thinking about this kind of thing a lot lately. ]
... Both, I guess, but mostly just - having a target at all. It wasn't like that where I came from. We tried to take stuff down from the inside but it didn't work. The Director was really good at flipping the script.
[and she's never really going to find out what happened there, she thinks. as far as she knows? ballister got arrested and is probably going to be executed.
which. makes her stomach sort of twist with guilt.]
[ ...he has questions, but he doesn't think it's the time to ask. ]
...I've come to find that those kind of people slip up sooner or later because they're too confident they won't get caught. I'm hoping the moon's just like that, too.
[ but there are very much ??? emotions from him because. i have no idea how much he knows about the director, actually. ]
[ he disliked her and was never sure how much was truly the truth so it's fine. time to beat her the fuck up if something goes wrong and nimona really can't leave. ]
Yeah. Maybe we'll get lucky and we can bruise his ego and insult him enough that someone can sneak up and attack him. We just can't let him psyche us out in return.
I hope you're right. We're gonna be fighting as a huge team anyway, so it's not like he can really isolate us and make things worse. He'll be outnumbered and then what? There's not much he can do against us.

... Yeah. [she says, after a second.] Kind of nice to have a target, though. Instead of a concept, or like - you know, the whole city.
I've been thinking about that a lot.

Yeah. Me too. I think you're not wrong. We've read the guy's like... diary, he sounds like an idiot we can taunt into messing up.

I really don't think he's gonna be able to say anything to me that's gonna trip me out. [she says, amused.] Not when I've got you guys.
