>Alex shakes his head."Sage, as he is, is a known quantity, he spent many years as a petty criminal alongside Amp until recently, when he was offered a chance of reforming himself in the eyes of the law by the MRD and Long Corp - which he took, as you can see.

"No."
>Star rolls her eyes."I mean. . . I think it could be fun, Star, you gotta give it a chance."
>Star looks over at Moon, then sighs."
Fine. But if you lot get burned it's not my fault."
