1 tq011900_msg0001 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Just ask yourself: can we really afford
*not* to do it?! Please convey this to
Dame Alex!
2 tq011900_msg0002 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Look, I'm telling you, there's
no way she'd agree...
3 tq011900_msg0003 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You seem to be having fun.
Mind if I join in on the pleasantries?
4 tq011900_msg0004 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh?! Dame Alex?!
5 tq011900_msg0005 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Uhm, we can explain everything...!
6 tq011900_msg0006 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Don't trouble yourself, Chickadee.
I'll hear it from him directly.
7 tq011900_msg0007 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I want to hold a tech summit!
With Colony 30!
8 tq011900_msg0008 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...
9 tq011900_msg0009 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Continue.
10 tq011900_msg0010 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I know you're reluctant!
11 tq011900_msg0011 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But now that we've been released from the
Flame Clock, and the wall between Keves
and Agnus has crumbled...
12 tq011900_msg0012 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Now's the perfect time to institute a tech
exchange! If it's successful, it could even
lead to stronger, more lasting peace...!
13 tq011900_msg0013 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You had problems with Colony 30
in the past?
14 tq011900_msg0014 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We...fought against them before,
just once.
15 tq011900_msg0015 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But they absolutely wiped
the floor with us...
16 tq011900_msg0016 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Never before or since has Dame Alex
misread an enemy to that degree.
17 tq011900_msg0017 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The bitter aftertaste from that
event has lingered for years,
giving us all headaches...
18 tq011900_msg0018 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Who's bitter at whom, now?
19 tq011900_msg0019 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It doesn't sound half bad.
Let's have a technology summit!
20 tq011900_msg0020 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Really?!
21 tq011900_msg0021 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Dame Alex...
22 tq011900_msg0022 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Keves's Colony 30 stands at the
forefront of technology. This is not
a problem in the slightest.
23 tq011900_msg0023 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Truly, not even a speck of one.
24 tq011900_msg0024 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Now we've done it...
25 tq011900_msg0025 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Chickadee. Contact Colony 30.
Tell them I'm coming.
26 tq011900_msg0026 Yb1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes, understood!
27 tq011900_msg0027 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Gambert, we will rendezvous there.
I'll bring results home, you'll see.
28 tq011900_msg0028 db1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Of course, ma'am!
I'll depart on the double!
29 tq011900_msg0029 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 They've definitely got skills there...but this
is Valdi we're talking about. I don't think
you need to get so worked up.
30 tq011900_msg0030 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Suppose I told you that Colony 30...
31 tq011900_msg0031 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...was currently struggling with an urgent
water shortage. What would you imagine?
32 tq011900_msg0032 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh? Oh, I dunno...
Burst water mains or something?
33 tq011900_msg0033 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Or their spring dried up...?
34 tq011900_msg0034 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Incorrect. The right answer was,
big cleaning project at the colony.
35 tq011900_msg0035 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, you have got to be joking.
36 tq011900_msg0036 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Regrettably, I am not.
It really happened.
37 tq011900_msg0037 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 That...does kinda sound
like Valdi though, huh?
38 tq011900_msg0038 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There are also many Nopon living
there. They tend to follow their own,
unique rules.
39 tq011900_msg0039 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Precisely. They are unique, and therefore
worth studying in greater depth.
40 tq011900_msg0040 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Knowing your opponent and preparing
accordingly - that is the foundation of
any battle.
41 tq011900_msg0041 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Do you still consider Colony 30
your enemy then, Alexandria?
42 tq011900_msg0042 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 This isn't about enemies or allies.
All I'm saying is that the side that
gets careless, loses.
43 tq011900_msg0043 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So your strategy is outright distrust, then?
44 tq011900_msg0044 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What are you trying to say?
45 tq011900_msg0045 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hurt others first, to avoid being hurt
yourself. Do you think that's logical?
46 tq011900_msg0046 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...It's a matter of opinion.
47 tq011900_msg0047 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And you're entitled to that. Say what
you will, but they've got a good colony
over there.
48 tq011900_msg0048 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ah, right. If you don't mind, could we
attend this technology summit of yours?
49 tq011900_msg0049 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We could help introduce
you and Valdi too.
50 tq011900_msg0052 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes... I daresay with you by my side,
they may be less guarded than otherwise.
51 tq011900_msg0053 K 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I suppose I may require your assistance.
