That had nothing to do with threats to the universe, or their goals in the mission, or doing what they had to in order to save Braal and every other planet in the UP. It had everything to do with the fact that nobody was just going to nearly kill a Nova and get away with it, even if he'd been pulling punches just enough not to actually finish Rich. Nobody.
Sam dealt with enough at school. He was used to hitting back, and even if he'd heard a million lectures about how violence wasn't the answer, there was no changing the fact that sometimes, it was just really satisfying to get in a good wallop before someone had to be responsible and break up the fight.
