"In truth, I'm... really nervous about this mission. So when I learned you’re, uh, really, really young, I kind of… panicked. I didn’t want a Gen Z with ChatGPT doing the calculations, y’know? Forget to carry a number, or an unreliable AI fucks up… well, things can easily go up in flames.”
"... Ah. Yes, I suppose your life is in the hands of my skills as a mathematician," Viktor grimaces, finally seeing it from Jayce’s point of view. "I don’t use generative AI, and I don't want anyone's blood on my hands so... I will quadruple-check my calculations. I'm confident, but not cocky."
"I appreciate that,” Jayce replies genuinely, smiling anxiously. “I wanna come back from Mars."
Viktor manages a small smile in return. "You will, I promise."
