was thinking about uses I might put your deal to, since you're so
determined to squander it, and I made the decision and then....well. I'm

"Yes, I know." They grimace. "I'm trying to word it for maximum advantage
and no silly loopholes, since I trust the Admiral about as far as I could
throw this entire ship."
"Ugh. Don't. Anyway, I'd be looking to clean up whatever mess Horde Prime
left behind him, but I keep catastrophising over what that might end up
meaning."
He nods, thinking about it. "You could always just ask the Admiral if you're so inclined. He'd probably tell you. If not, maybe make the deal not about fixing what he did, but what you think should be there instead."

"Darling, remaking the world to my own whims is not very wardenly and I don't care to have that level of responsibility regardless."
