May I reiterate that this is a matter of life and death? Kindly unbend for one goddamned moment so that she doesn't feel quite so miserable and alone.

Kindly get your head out of your ass and stop thinking you know what's best for everyone.

[ frankly, she can take it. coddling her isn't going to do anyone any favours. ]

No one's dead yet.

Did any of that sound like I was open to negotiation?
I gave you an order.
If you don't go in the next half hour I'm tranqing you + dragging you down there myself.

I have to be conscious & here to make sure others don't stay around; expending resources like that could cause the loss of civilian lives

You have no special ability that would help you get the doors open. I do. I am far more useful there than you would be.

I'm not staying to get the doors open.
I'm staying to make sure the area is cleared + everyone gets to stasis.
