Daniel, privately through comms to Vince: If I told the others I have a bad feeling about this, do you think they'd listen?
Vince: A bad feeling? Normally it's me who gets those. I don't feel anything...
Larmina: What's going on? Sorry, I was focused on listening to Aunt Allura's instructions for Blue.
Daniel: Vince, Larmina, I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
Larmina: Oh. Oh. It's not - ?
Larmina switches them back to the main line.
Vince: Do you think it's a trap?
Daniel: I don't know. I don't know what this is, but - ... something is telling me I should be afraid. And that I need to get away. I don't feel good about this.
Larmina: Do you want to go back?
Vince: We're almost at the mission site. Better make a decision fast, Daniel.
Daniel bites his lip in thought as they briefly float through space, waiting for their leader's choice.
Daniel: This is our first solo mission, just the three of us. Who knows when we'll get to do this again? But at the same time, my instincts are telling me something's wrong. A bad feeling. I almost never get those. And when I do...
Larmina: It usually spells absolute disaster?
Daniel: Yeah. But this is a rescue mission and they need us...
Vince: What's your verdict, leader?
(On the bridge, Keith goes to speak but Lance stops him.)
Daniel opens his eyes, determined. He pushes Black forward, the others following.
Daniel: We're not going to abandon those people. We'll continue the mission, but we aren't going to split up.
Larmina: (hums) Skipping the divide and conquer option?
Daniel: That's the first thing the Drule going to expect. They are also probably going to attempt to separate us. Out of all of us, I am the most likely to get hot-headed and end up separated from the team.
(Lance: (whispers, pumping a fist at the bridge) He acknowledged it!)
Vince: You want me to stop you?
Daniel: Figured out how to catch people in a whip?
Vince: I'll pull you back.
Larmina: Priority, the rescuees then?
Daniel: Yes. Full stealth, don't engage. In and out, that especially means me, Daniel. In and out.
✨ Daniel ends up sacrificing himself without hesitation to get the rescuees and his team out. ✨
