I doubt he'll stay long. He's not getting what he wants out of this. I don't think Sam could make him leave anyway.
[ The Horizon is a nebulous area where as far as he can tell, no one can 'kick' anyone out of the space. Maybe ask that they go, but if you can kick someone out of your domain, he hasn't figured out how yet. It might be a nifty trick, someday, but since they all have a hand in the Horizon, it might end up being more a battle of wills. Jesper gets why Sam decided to go the diplomatic route. Hopefully he'll just leave.
Jesper listens to her explain about politics. Definitely not his area! He knows about the merchant class, and while they had their promises, they also had a lot of money in which they put to this or that, so in a way, they put their money where their mouth was. But like all politicians they lied freely. He wonders if his life is about to become more about that than not, in his world. He's a live-in boyfriend to a powerful wealthy merchant now, reading everything that comes across his table. He might have to actually pay attention to this shit. ]
Well I doubt they know how to destroy it even if they could. They can't get close to it, only we can, and they'd have to set bombs or something, with no guarantee anything will happen. But you're probably right.
[ He sips his very heavy drink and taps fingers along the side of it. ]
I assume they're all after the same kind of thing, in the end. The power. They don't want the other people to have it, so there's a drive to take it or destroy it before someone else can. Thorne came closer to it by bringing you all here, so they brought us. Sooner or later it's all going to come down to the Singularity.
