Had I known I'd be forced to wait,[ST:n ]I would have brought a book.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 2 |
|
qev087001_MSG0002 |
Our apologies, Director General. Our BLADE work[ST:n ]has been keeping us especially busy as of late.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 3 |
|
qev087001_MSG0003 |
Besides, it's pretty unusual to get a direct request from you.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 4 |
|
qev087001_MSG0004 |
I would hope that warrants it special priority.[ST:n ]This mission affects us all.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 5 |
|
qev087001_MSG0005 |
If it's an official mission,[ST:n ]shouldn't we take it through the normal channels?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 6 |
|
qev087001_MSG0006 |
Personally, I consider it very official,[ST:n ]but both Nagi and Vandham refused me.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 7 |
|
qev087001_MSG0007 |
Shouted me down, actually.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 8 |
|
qev087001_MSG0008 |
What? Then we're probably not even[ST:n ]ALLOWED to take it, right?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 9 |
|
qev087001_MSG0009 |
Let's hear the brief—AND why they turned you down.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 10 |
|
qev087001_MSG0010 |
A wise decision.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 11 |
|
qev087001_MSG0011 |
You're familiar with Jair Fortress, yes?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 12 |
|
qev087001_MSG0012 |
In a few days, we'll be hitting it with a surprise offensive.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 13 |
|
qev087001_MSG0013 |
Of course! Every BLADE on the force is participating.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 14 |
|
qev087001_MSG0014 |
We built our attack strategy around the idea[ST:n ]of limiting casualties as much as possible.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 15 |
|
qev087001_MSG0015 |
As such, we'll be employing mostly long-range fighting tactics.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 16 |
|
qev087001_MSG0016 |
That would be the sensible choice.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 17 |
|
qev087001_MSG0017 |
Yes, and I fully support it.[ST:n ]But it makes gathering intel nearly impossible.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 18 |
|
qev087001_JNK0010 |
Question |
| 19 |
|
qev087001_SEL0011 |
Ask the director general what[ST:n ]kind of intel he's looking for. |
| 20 |
|
qev087001_JNK0020 |
Argue |
| 21 |
|
qev087001_SEL0021 |
Claim that lives are more important than intel. |
| 22 |
|
qev087001_MSG0018 |
Data on the present state of the Ganglion.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 23 |
|
qev087001_MSG0019 |
At the moment, we know next to nothing about their situation.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 24 |
|
qev087001_MSG0020 |
We don't even know if it's possible to[ST:n ]negotiate with them or not.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 25 |
|
qev087001_MSG0021 |
We NEED more information in order to[ST:n ]effectively formulate future plans.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 26 |
|
qev087001_MSG0022 |
Unfortunately, it's not that simple.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 27 |
|
qev087001_MSG0023 |
If we can secure this information now,[ST:n ]it will aid us in every future battle we face.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 28 |
|
qev087001_MSG0024 |
It could also offer leverage in bargaining for an accord.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 29 |
|
qev087001_MSG0025 |
I think you'll agree, this has the potential[ST:n ]to save far more lives in the long run.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 30 |
|
qev087001_MSG0026 |
All right, you've made your ideas clear.[ST:n ]What do you want us to do?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 31 |
|
qev087001_MSG0027 |
Infiltrate the fortress before we strike.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 32 |
|
qev087001_MSG0028 |
Gather whatever intel you can and return here with it.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 33 |
|
qev087001_MSG0029 |
Is that even possible?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 34 |
|
qev087001_MSG0030 |
Any answer I give would be idle speculation.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 35 |
|
qev087001_MSG0031 |
But I do believe this mission is of the utmost importance.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 36 |
|
qev087001_MSG0032 |
And I also believe that your team[ST:n ]has the best chance of getting it done.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 37 |
|
qev087001_MSG0033 |
So you decided to ask us face-to-face?[ST:n ]That's quite the honor.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 38 |
|
qev087001_MSG0034 |
Is that sarcasm?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 39 |
|
qev087001_MSG0035 |
Take it as you will, sir.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 40 |
|
qev087001_MSG0036 |
What if we refuse?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 41 |
|
qev087001_MSG0037 |
Then I'll ask the team with the[ST:n ]next highest chances, and so on.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 42 |
|
qev087001_MSG0038 |
I'll send in the damn janitors if I have to. Whatever it takes.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 43 |
|
qev087001_MSG0039 |
You truly believe it's this important?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 44 |
|
qev087001_MSG0040 |
I do.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 45 |
|
qev087001_MSG0041 |
All right, then. We'll do it.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 46 |
|
qev087001_MSG0042 |
Excellent.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 47 |
|
qev087001_MSG0043 |
But we're not taking any unnecessary risks.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 48 |
|
qev087001_MSG0044 |
If things get hairy, we'll cut and run empty-handed if we must.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 49 |
|
qev087001_MSG0045 |
Let's all hope it never comes to that.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 50 |
|
qev087001_MSG0046 |
Just one question, if I may:[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 51 |
|
qev087001_MSG0047 |
Are those really your only reasons for wanting this intel?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 52 |
|
qev087001_MSG0048 |
What other reasons would there be?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 53 |
|
qev087001_MSG0049 |
Heh. Any answer I give would be idle speculation. ...Sir.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 54 |
|
qev087001_MSG0050 |
My goal has always been to secure a future for[ST:n ]humanity on this planet. It's as simple as that.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 55 |
|
qev087001_MSG0051 |
All right. I'll take you at your word.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 56 |
|
qev087001_MSG0052 |
Let's get back to the barracks and prepare.[ST:n ]This one's going to be tough.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
