[A question he's debated the answer to with Kuai - which is to say, not the real answer, but the answer they should give people. Is it better to be honest, or to inspire some optimism? He tends to think the latter. They can't guess realistically, anyway. Might as well aim to keep morale up.]
There's a lot we still don't know, I'll admit. It's hard to say our chances for certain. But we've heard some of what past groups tried, how they fared, and I know that we're more cohesive than most. More promising than many. We've accomplished things past groups failed to do already - even just simple things, like earning enough trust from Pluto for her and her people to visit. We have a long way to go, but I do think we have a shot. We just have to keep focused.
