The ideal solution would be to bring them with us, yes. Unfortunately, even if we could talk them into it, the odds of finding a Barge that would take us and all our friends is even less likely.

I don't like leaving them behind either, but it's not our fault! I mean, besides the fact that I did the things I did to land me on the Barge in the first place, and that we told the Authority about everything he's handled terribly, and...did anyone else get the feeling they were having their minds read, or was that just me?
