I sat down on the grass with my hands on my knees and looked at Eliza with serious eyes. Before I can tell anything, I must think about how to do this correctly and politely, and it seemed to me birds singing volume was raised while I was thinking about the reply.

- Actually, this is something we planned for a long time, since the May beginning I suppose, that I mentioned earlier, sitting at the table, tasting your unusual and delicious drink - an entire battlegroup will be involved in this operation. Including you, but personally I'd rather let you stay out of the frontline - at least, your current condition doesn't seem okay. I don't try to reduce your potential or belittle you against other agents - I don't need such losses there.

Storgen's words were one and only true - he takes losses harder than ordinary members could imagine. The bets were too high to be irresponsible. William already lost almost entire squadron during the early stage of operation, when they tried to establish positions on the nebula's edge and only one person was aware about his friend, Miles, who tried to get him out of strong stress William got.
