Bitter experience all around, it seems. Jim isn't spared from it either, and he looks away for a moment. "I know. If you'd asked me that a few months ago, I would've had an answer, and it would've been wrong anyway. I've made mistakes and I'm learning from them, and I don't intend to make those same mistakes again. But I am still the youngest captain in the fleet, and my decisions have resulted in casualties." His self-confidence has been pretty badly dented, ever since he woke up in the hospital and had the time to realize what exactly had happened. And while he's better now, Samus has a talent for sliding a verbal knife right into the heart of the problem.
