[Ari wants to question Wayne's logic. It's much like saying that investing all your money in one company is inviting the same level of risk as spreading it across ten. It doesn't make any sense to her. But before she can speak up, he's trying to take responsibility for it all. She's inclined to let him, but the heard and witnessed that she's about to utter dies in her throat at April's fuck no.
She can't help a smirk as April trails off. Arilanna Tayrey has never claimed to be anything other than selfish. Rational self-interest is just - well, it's rational. But the attempt at diplomacy itself carries a lot of weight with her. She's willing to listen, to hear them all out.]
Alright, first thing. I'm all in favor of this being 100% voluntary, and I'll apologise if I made you think otherwise. My concerns were with the security issues, not the concept. You two- [April and Flan, she indicates with a gesture] -have been reassuring enough on that point. [April's absolutely right, if a person stealing artifacts wants to target Tayrey, they'll find some other way to target her without them. If they want to cause general mayhem? They'll carry right on down the corridor.]
The other thing is that you all might be grateful to Friday, but I'm fairly sure that her locating it here is supposed to be one more way to fuck with me. Torture me. Take even more out of my control and leave me worrying about what's across the corridor. But you know, I'm not inclined to let that happen. And like hell am I asking to change rooms. Not giving her the satisfaction. So you've got me on your side now, like it or not. I won't go out of my way, but I spend a lot of time working in my cabin. If I see anything odd, I'll text you.
[She grins.] And it's good to hear you're a union woman. I'm all for fair contracts. Of course you've got to uphold your values, no matter how far you are from home! [Ultra-libertarian Tayrey is pro-union? Yes. Freedom includes the freedom to organise!]
