Despite being noisy as hell to kick things off, Nerys has stayed unusually quiet during the earlier proceedings--she can see value in both sides of the argument and she doesn't really have anything valuable to add. She hates being fucked with, knows these likely will come back to haunt them, but she finds it incredibly futile to not keep what they have. As the other dark-haired girl (not the one who's brought up this issue, the other one, the one whose people ruined their version of Earth) and Mark mentioned, they couldn't very well take them back to the shop, could they. Might as well make use, as long as it wasn't to harm each other.
If she's being honest, Nerys already knows that productive use of the tools is what she'll do regardless, the morality of the tainted gift and the opinions of her fellows be damned. The discussion, for her, is just to lance the wound before it bursts and infects everything down to the bone. The infection may still linger, but
The fact that some people have gone missing, though, that's new. She bites her lip and thinks for a second. "If he was trying the cliffs," she says, "or if they both were, maybe they fell and got hurt. We should go have a look, at least." Tact makes her leave off the 'for bodies' out of the last sentence, as well as any speculation as to what they could do for medical care (ha) if she was right. Nerys has tried the cliffs herself and found them to be treacherous as all hells.
"If none of us have seen them for that long," she adds. Thanks to the meals, she's pretty sure Kate sees a good chunk of the population at some point during a day, or certainly over several days, and climbing was hungry work.
Or maybe they got out, a thought hisses in the back of her mind, a slithering feeling that's not quite words, not quite a sound, almost like the tone of Kai Winn calling her child. Implying that she hasn't tried hard enough.
