"Well, yeah? When you fire a weapon you hit what you aim at, and they're low environmental impact. The hostiles don't care about the environment but I try to, and landing a ship can crush a lot of things. I landed on a bird nest once and wouldn't land for weeks after that. Ghost transmatted me to the surface every time. I still feel terrible when I think about it..." He shook his head, shoulders hunching a bit as he leaned and placed Ren gently on the floor. Ghost floated over to whisper to Aoba.

"He crushed some eggs and cried. I tried to tell him they were still in the nest because they were infertile, but it was the principle of it, he said."

"And food in some areas is scarce so it's hard to pick a nice-looking landing spot because if it looks nice it probably tastes nice for the local fauna," Declan added, pacing back and forth in the cockpit to check readouts, read through messages from the Vanguard, and review his bounties. It was highly unlikely other Guardians worried as much as he did. Particularly to being driven to tears over a smashed birdnest.
