"That's what I was thinking!"
"Oh, you too, Oli?" Silas chuckled.
Nodding, Oli asked, "Yeah, I do. That's why I'd like to ask you about my next assignment. Would you mind if I spend it guarding Jack?"
"Is this to strengthen the enterprise or to give you a chance to use the nexus?" laughed Silas. "Jack would need to--"
"Jack already agreed to let me use it."
"But we still need to form the pact," Jack mentioned. "Without that--"
Oli spoke up again, glancing at Silas, "Well, I can't fulfill my end of that promise unless Silas agrees to reassign me. Also, it would strengthen the enterprise while I gained access to the nexus, allowing Jack a guaranteed chance at early survival while letting me become a four-star. That's a win-win!"
"Fine… I can find someone else for your former assignment," Silas gave in with a nod. "But only if Jack is alright with joining the enterprise."
"Hmm… I'm not sure--"
