Still, Hux shrugs his shoulders. "Perhaps; we don't know the technology nor the ships that the Regency uses--or at least I do not. We can't assume they are in the same state we are." Given their position, he would assume they were better off, actually.

"And no, I suppose we must take the risk into consideration, but accept it, just the same." What else could they do? Besides defect, and Hux already knew that Chiron would not do such a thing.
