Still trying to figure that one out myself. [ Said with a slight chuckle. Yeah, Sam knows he drew the short stick here, but one way or another, these are his people, and it's not something like putting in a request to switch bunks. they're all stuck together now. But the mention of Cathaway specifically, that seems to fit with what he'd come to know about Ren. ]

Yeah, we kind of... played chicken with sanity for a while, and then he told me I should go chat with Cathaway. Apparently doesn't think much of Prince inversely.

[ sam anders, since when did you start saying words like inversely in normal conversation? probably around the time he started to know what exactly the vascular ring in the brain does and why you need it. aside from it being a part of your frakking brain. but either way, that was the impression he got. that ren thought it was pick a side, and since he was on cathaway's that made prince the enemy. then again, who knows. ]

So what's... 'what's best' here? What's the goal he's headed for?
