The specialists continued discussing the issue, relying on Marcus and Kirk whenever someone mentioned possible flaws. Still, as the stalemate persisted, everyone slowly began to side with Khan's idea.

Instead, Randall's intentions seemed more convoluted. He didn't want to oppose Khan, but his aura also leaked some curiosity. Besides, embracing Khan's idea would avoid internal conflicts while lowering his responsibilities in case of failure. It was a win-win situation for him.

That behavior was to be expected from a team leader, and the odds were also in his favor. Khan's history with aliens made him the safest bet. Trusting and relying on him wasn't really a gamble.
