I don't doubt they are. But I've survived a lot, in a lot of different environments, with the odds heavily stacked against me. I've always made it out. And when there's something that looks useful, I stop and I check it out. I'll keep doing that.
You're sweet to worry, and I do appreciate it, but I don't want to see you end up involved in whatever's coming either. If they turn off abilities for it, where's that gonna leave you?
