Then.. careful, buddy.. something tells me you’re dangerously close to revealing things to someone who didn’t take the same vows you did of secrecy. I think that SleepDep is catching up to you..
Avery, you might want to go softly with your sleep deprived partner. You should be aware of the shenanigans the government gets up to, pushing this will lead to trouble.
I see it as he’s just not willing to see the Sarnothi become a ‘minority’, with all the baggage that comes with that. Right now they’re refugees, but what about in 10 years? 20 years? 100 years? We don’t exactly have a great track record of treating newcomers as equals, or even often as people. I see Then as trying to prevent that past from repeating itself by making Sarnothi ‘true co-habitants’ with their own powerful contributions to society, instead of perpetual refugees.
Yeah and like. Look at it from his pov. They’ve already bungled up integration by having sarnothi pre-coup be regarded as having some sort of skin condition/sickness. Like that wasn’t getting people used to sarnothi, that was othering with extra steps
Oh, there is going to be such trouble. Then is acting like he’s a double agent, who has decided he need no longer hide his true allegiance. Avery assumes Then’s allegiance is to the agency and the nation they work for; he’s going to get his face mashed against how wrong that assumption is.
Then is being a jackwagon, but he’s probably just doing this to prime humans to think Sarnothi are cool. They’re not the people with death lasers, they’re the people with cool hoverbikes!

“You work for the USA, I work for Sarnothi.”
The problem, of course, is that Avery has actual people he works for, rather than an abstraction.

…I must be sleep deprived…Then’s speech makes me think he’s working FOR Cern…

Looks like someone might be developing a saviour complex.
Unfortunately on the side of the guy who has the personality of a wet rat here
