Weaver must indeed think highly of Kuai, or maybe just assumed that most people here could figure out the controls, having spent time in and out of the station for so many years. Or maybe they're just exceptionally easy - Rosinante isn't exactly going to bet his lantern on that, but he's hopeful. He'll allow himself that small amount of optimism.

"The last thing we need is for it to take us all by surprise," he agrees. "But I certainly hope it's done for. After all we've done..."

After all they've done, what? It isn't like the universe owes them anything for their hard work. Good and bad things happen to people all the time without sparing those who have worked especially hard, or been especially good. Doesn't stop him from trying, though.

It's a few minutes' walk to The Invincible, and they're walking quickly, but it still feels like it takes forever in light of the situation they're in. He wrenches open the door with unneeded force on account of the urgency, then holds it open for Kuai to hurry on in ahead of him.
