The options people were postulating were in some ways viable. In others not. His understanding of the Phoenix had led him to believe that they could not contain or control it. He remembered their last time in space and the man's fear at learning Phoenix was among them. He had not liked the man because of the threat he represented to Mary. And here they were threatening her. Treating her like she was a delicate flower. Ed knew Mary had her cracks, her soft spots, but she was a strong woman. Too much had been placed upon her shoulders and they had let it stay that way for too long. [color=d19f6a]"Mary is our friend. We want to help her. That is all we ever wanted to do. How can we help? What do you need from us?"[/color] The circling around the problem wasn't going to help. Ed took a step forward, knowing that the others had his back if need be. As long as he wasn't killed instantly there was hope.
