It's only by the grace of James Holden that Derrica has any context for this statement.
"We can teach you," she volunteers instead, rather than pile up questions as to the exact nature of technology and how it might apply. She has some idea of it. She also knows that questions don't always lead to clarity, and Richard is still new to her. Too new to put the burden of explaining such things onto him.
"But that's only if you want to fight. Some don't."
No judgement in that statement. Rifters get so few choices in their presence here. How can anyone begrudge them the very few things they do get to decide on?
