It isn't so simple as that.

Not that it matters. As I said, it will take a good deal of time if it is even possible, and I am doing my best not to aid them in this project.

I want to help them improve our understanding of the City, yes, but I don't want to leave and I have reason to believe that, even if a single group could escape, the rest of the City would be destroyed.

I have told them about my concerns regarding the potential to destroy the City, yes.

[Where does he begin?]

It is only a potential. I'm sure that they will keep it in mind should they reach test phases.

[No, he's not.]

You would like the ones who are not so involved in the sciences. Sulu and Chakotay, especially.

[Although he'd love to see Korra go up against Spock. Not Janeway. Actually, maybe not Spock, either.]

I am not as clever as you think I am, Korra. My peers have reasons to doubt me.

You think so? I like Chakotay.

[He just kind of shrugs. Can't really disagree with her there.]

They would take precautions.

What? They would! All members of Starfleet are taught to respect life above all else, even the escape of an inexplicable pocket in subspace. [beat] Even if those members are very sure of themselves and not so inclined to listen to a junior officer, even when he has had more personal experience within said subspatial pocket.

You are an excellent friend, Korra.

[He'll return the favor and dislike someone on principle for her someday.]
