"And what thoughts do you have in regards to people disappearing? The people who disappear. Others have explained your tethers as being unstable - do you believe this is true? How far do the risks of an unstable tether and their side effects, what is the wording, let me search- how do the risks of your situation outweigh the good you see yourself as doing? No, as you see everyone as doing. Many have disappeared. Do you know how many? Do you have any knowledge, in writings, facts, or in theories calculated by the mind of what is happening to them."

A pause. "And would the risks be worth your vision of your journey? As you say, 'projects that have to do with helping people always involve risk'. You help others. You have a community. You are suggesting you are happy. Your cause is worth the danger. Is the involuntarily tethering your only concern?"
