he's right. even if she did try something and killed the guy, what then ?
we don't know where that place is, but there's clearly a ton of security. even if she does manage to escape, she would be pursued by a vengeful world power that probably won't be as willing to negotiate anymore, which wouldn't help her get back home.
honestly, she's in a pretty tight spot.

Who's gonna tell him that Gameboy land people gave her op powers?
@Neorice - "Hohiverse"? I would go for "Hohverse" myself.
Ignoring the very real possibility that Nero is gay and in an unscrupulous affair with Klaassen, I suspect "Honey" is a signal to either turn off various sensors/recording devices, or turn them *on*.
Very proud of Tobi for not falling for easy verbal traps these days :D

Honestly, I might be weird, but the way Nero addresses Oopsie, "be a dear", "honey", I interpreted as the way he has to give an order while keeping the façade of a soft/humane leader.
I didn't give it further thought beyond the clear clash with Klaasen's ruthlessness.
Basically Nero applying: "you can get more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word"
Klaasen being the gun.

Oops, for the double post, but Nero is telling Tobi "my dear". Again, kind words for whatever machinations are in Nero's mind and about to be proposed to "Tobi, my dear"

I’m surprised there’s anything above Klaasen’s clearance level.

And then Nero reveals that he too is from Rauel and that he has been trying to find a way home for decades.
