"That part's not as comforting. I don't want to just - abandon a country to kill itself."

"Well, we've been siphoning off the salvageable parts of his original population and putting them on our colony world."

"... I'm not sure we have the infrastructure for that."

"Yeah. I mean, your problem probably isn't alike and you have official political power so you may be in a better position to stay put."
