I don't know if it was clear before, but we're keeping as far away from the Shuck as we can. I've skipped out on the "I told you so" about not dealing with him, but here it is: I told you so. We're not touching his Avatar, and apparently, there are populations who might be after him anyway—on both sides. For instance, the vampires want the Hart dead for good.

[This information comes out in a rush, but one thing is clear from the swell of emotion in Jason's voice: he isn't dealing with the Shuck. Oh, he can't ignore him as a factor, but Loki's words come too close to what they had referenced before. He isn't touching that.]

As for the Red Hand—[his tone levels out here]—Clarke is looking into it. [He waves a hand in the air uncertainly.] They used to have a goal against the Cult that was personal, but I don't think that sticks now. Basically, we're waiting on more information, but it's obvious from the commander's recruitment statement that they want people and they want them on all sides. They think that either side winning is bad, so I take it as a ... subtle statement.
