He didn't reply until after she stated she wouldn't have stopped at words, at which point he looked back and forth between her and Prophet for signs of a bluff. Of course, there were none.

"I said 'being paragons of good', not 'making the right choice'. I'm doing this exactly because of the professionalism you say I put above anything: she was trying to get into the prison, and you would put here there yourself? Is it really worth risking an APEX contamination? The 'right' choice is pretty clear to me, here."

"...but if you're willing to go as far as fight me, I yield. Hopefully it'll never come to that, because it being your fault will be of very small consolation."

With that, he turned in the direction of where a group of APEX summons had cornered a man in power armour. "You'd better make sure she doesn't wake up." he added, before charging into the fray to help the SIDE lieutenant. However, he didn't sound so upset as his words suggested.
