I sgree that this is not neptune but not for that reasoning. Except that it would not be a waste of energy, first i doubt that the covies are concerned with engine energy. Also you forge that Regret was panicking, with good cause, had he just jetted out of there he would have been taken down by a couple of hundred super mac rounds. Also they took out Mombosa with the jump, very appealing to Regret
