"Nobody has to die," Marina says before anything else, because that is absolutely not what she wants to happen, and even if this does turn into a fight it doesn't have to get that bad. "The problem is that a station under your control still isn't going to work for all of us. If the whole station ends up made for devils, what about the rest of us? The cafeteria looks like it's made for--insects, I think, the halls make it look like we got eaten by something, none of it makes sense."

And they have to live here, too, until everyone figures out how to go home. A place under control of the devils, from what Marina has experienced, feels as unsafe as the station did before. Maybe more for someone like Marina, who understands the science of metal and wiring but doesn't understand angles that are more obtuse than they look and perfectly parallel lines that intersect anyway.

This is going to be a fight, isn't it? But Marina isn't going to strike first. Her radio stays off. Let that prove her intentions, if nothing else will.
