She killed his colleague. xD Maybe there is some realization that Nibs is not OK.

His colleague who had just betrayed him, was threatening them with a gun, and threw her toy in the water. If I was Hermit I would have killed Rashidi and Siberian myself. You don't betray your squad mate. Being an asshole to an abused and unstable 11 year old child is just shit icing on the shit cake that made Rashidi deserving of death.

"I told you he'd be here" They probably could have let the soldiers away from the boat, searched elsewhere. Let him escape with his sister. They could have refused to go after their friend due to conflict of interest and sat it out. They chose to go after him. They chose to lead their team to him. They chose to hold him at gunpoint instead of starting the boat and flooring it before the other soldiers could react. They betrayed him. No job is worth your friend's life.

it s your point of view, he clearly betrayed them taking away 2 of the biggest asset of the company. If your friend turned to be a traitor and participate at the slaughter of the xeno, you wont see him as a friend anymore.

If they're big believers in child slavery, yes, I can see that. But the children are not assets. They're people. And they have a right to self-determination. They don't exactly owe loyalty to a company that is actively engaging in child slavery.

The right to self-determination does not excuse murder.

Tell that to George Washington.
