Yeah, I think it's clear Burton is dirty: he's in PRIVATE INDUSTRY, which by definition is evil, esp. since he's basically that universe's Bill Gates.

I do want to know what Matt's story is, and how is it that he's been preparing for the ARC since it's only been around for 4-5 years.

Your favorite scene is my favorite scene: I loved the acknowledgement of culture shock and PTSD from Abby & Connor, and I hope for more. (I expect to be disappointed.)
