"If you don't send another moth, your infantry will be depending on the Lanterners for extraction," Sasha observes. "And it's a security conference, so it makes perfect sense for a group of arms dealers to tag along and try to drum up business. I don't see why you wouldn't send us."

This means moving further away from the rift while open warfare is imminent; that might be why Flute isn't planning to send her own moth, but Sasha likes the idea of splitting the team and leaving the mothlings behind even less.
