[No, they have the best chance of being wiped out of existence, he thinks.]
If we were to leave the ship, it should be destroyed. I'm assuming they would know how to do that, too.
Even that might not ensure their safety: the anomalies are more serious than you understand, maybe more than any of us understand. I know you're aware that it's difficult for us to deal with, that we've been tested, but up to this point, I don't think it's really wanted us dead. [That red figure looking into his pod, though... that leaves him with some doubts.] It should never be taken anywhere near the populace, and boarding it should be considered a suicide mission.
I doubt that any of us wants the ship, and if we could believe that this offer was made in good faith, a number of us would be likely to take it. I'd certainly be interested in assisting the government in certain capacities. [He's lying, but it doesn't sound like it; maybe he'd consider assisting them to the point where he could subtly undermine them, if he ever had the chance.] But even if we could... even if the potential cost of an error in judgment wasn't so high... there would still be the fact that any attempt to get further utility out of the Tranquility is likely to be a disaster.
