Catching Fish

The lead rescue worker tried to comfort the surviving betas. He blamed himself for their breach of duty and called the incident a terrible accident. He also mentioned how his quick and effective rescue mission had kept most of the betas on the blimp safe, with the majority avoiding serious physical injuries.

He asked the betas what they planned to do next.

He explained that vehicles were ready to take them to different outposts, but he understood if anyone wanted to go home after such a scary experience. He figured the frightened betas would not want to go to the outposts. They would probably want to go home, shaking and crying. This would make his job easy because he could take everyone back to the Tower and finish his job. Then he wouldn't have to worry about taking them to all those dangerous and poor places.
