That bus accident that we were in—it got cleaned up. I don't even think the police were there. But I can't say that for sure.
Having you there would get us some answers about that. And about some other stuff. And if they've been told to look the other way.
It's a good idea.

If we don't tend to involve them in anything bigger that we're doing, it'll remain a relief. They'll cover some of what we can't.
But it's why I've gained a couple allies.
["Friends," but being Clarke, she has that weird line between friendship and alliances that always gets tangled up quicker than she ever really acknowledges.]
The two of them ... they're nothing like ALIE. I think they're closer to what Becca had been hoping for ALIE 2.0. Before it began to absorb consciousnesses. Ready to evolve alongside us, in their own ways.
I told them about the Flame. It seemed relevant to their situation.
[That's not said lightly, nor was it shared lightly. Telling Bellamy is what makes that fully sink in, even though it did that day when they pledged to help her no matter what.
[The good news is that she doesn't have the technical know-how to fully explain it. Unlike Raven, she didn't get to keep anything on her trip out of the City of Light.]
I do.
Everything we do here has to begin with what's possible. Becca's technology and creations are closer to what this world can actually manage.
[Though she knows it's a big thing.]
If it's possible for us, it'll give them an idea of where to look.
As much as I hate to say it ... you, me, and Murphy? We can't do this on our own. Not that Murphy's keen to be along for the ride.
I said something to someone earlier on. She took it a very different way than I meant it, but I think I may have had a point. This was here, by the way.
I said that we were all in this together. If this was the dropship, this would be a lot easier for us. Things were simpler back then.
They aren't now.
For the record, she somehow took that to mean that we owed Gaby's friends. Obviously I don't agree with that.
[In fact, it's a thought process that puts her at odds with Rey now.]
Thanks, by the way. For trying to get Murphy to see things the way we do.
[The only simple part is that Murphy is difficult, and that she can trust Bellamy completely. At least there's that. The expected outcomes.]

I think I can if I don't call attention to myself. We're supposed to be able to pass scrutiny.
And if it works, I'll be able to get access to all their resources.

[Which is the epitome of a loaded statement, but not her intention at all. Even when he planned to leave, he never did. He never could.]

This is different. Or it would be different, if it works and they give me a position.

I think it could work.

[ easier to say that over text than outloud, considering bellamy's own fraught relationship with most of their friends. ]
Keep them close, Clarke. Even the AI.

And that's the thing.
Do they know who they're helping?]

[ even without fully understanding what connor and markus are, it puts bellamy immediately on edge to know that clarke's given them that knowledge. ]
You trust them with that?

But I know you're right. I'm trying.

It's just better if we stick together.
You're right, that we're stuck in this together with them. I just want us to be able to pick and choose where we help them when the times come.
no subject
But the more people who can help us until we make up our minds on that, the better.
[It's more ruthless than she knows Bellamy to be, but they don't know these people. Aside from her ties to the androids, nothing is set in stone.]
