Ralph sighs ever so softly, "Never said it was gonna be easy. The company might've built some trust, but so've we. The Marines have helped take care of a lotta problems on a lotta planets. At least some of those people'll be on our side. Some of 'em have dealt with similar monsters, they aren't gonna want to deal with somethin' like that again."

He shakes his head, "It's a big universe out there, there's gotta be places where th' Company doesn't have any power."
