“Don’t disappoint me, ‘Sarah’. I’m the kind of friend you want—I’m the kind of friend who can make things happen regardless of whether you’re alive or dead. Being my friend could make the difference between whether your next life is on some comfortable O'Neill Cylinder, or cramped in the lightless depths of Equus’s superstructure. Don’t think I can’t weasel things around Harmony—I can. And I will.”
