It means you don't know the situation on the ship. We can still stand up against them, and I'll be next to you doing it. But we have to draw the line on what we can and cannot do for those reasons.
[ Honestly, he can't believe he's saying this. Still, he'd rather not see anyone left behind for things they could have prevented. ]
And you're not the first person to say that. I'm still me, but from somewhere else. Another universe. [ Which is hard to swallow sometimes, but space is more special than he thinks it is. ]

You aren't as intense. I mean, don't get me wrong, you are, but not in the same way. I know we just met but promise me you won't ever trade someone I care about to the bad guy just to stop a war. Okay?
If there's someone here you care about, you should do everything you can to stay with them. There are other ways to get the results you want. We just need to work together to make that happen.
[ Which... probably does sound intense. But he means it regardless of whatever it is they might have to face in the future. Steve isn't sure what he means by that either, so he considers it carefully. ]
Trading one life to stop a war isn't gonna solve the problem. I'm not going to do that.
[Tommy has to think that through a bit, taking Nomo Deck as fast as he can to burn some of his nervous energy.]
