1 qev096102_MSG0001 Commander Vandham told me you'd be stopping by[ST:n ]to take the Skell license exam.[ST:wait ]
2 qev096102_MSG0002 Do you have your certifications from the eight[ST:n ]proficiency exams?[ST:wait ]
3 qev096102_MSG0003 ...Yep, looks like a full set. Nice work.[ST:wait ]
4 qev096102_MSG0004 We're ready for the final exam.[ST:wait ]
5 qev096102_MSG0005 No need to stress, though. It's a simple verbal quiz.[ST:wait ]
6 qev096102_MSG0006 We had you run missions for each of the eight[ST:n ]divisions, and there's a reason for that.[ST:wait ]
7 qev096102_MSG0007 Care to guess what it might be?[ST:wait ]
8 qev096102_JNK0010 Deduce
9 qev096102_SEL0011 Say that it was to better understand the[ST:n ]role each division plays within BLADE.
10 qev096102_JNK0020 Joke
11 qev096102_SEL0021 Say that it was Vandham's way of hazing you.
12 qev096102_MSG0008 Exactly! Now you've got a feel for each one's particular[ST:n ]flavor.[ST:wait ]
13 qev096102_MSG0009 Hopefully that's given you a few ideas of how you can[ST:n ]put a Skell to use.[ST:wait ]
14 qev096102_MSG0010 Heh. Believe me, he's put me through plenty—[ST:n ]but it wasn't just spite that motivated this call.[ST:wait ]
15 qev096102_MSG0011 I expect those missions have given you a feel for each[ST:n ]division's particular flavor.[ST:wait ]
16 qev096102_MSG0012 Hopefully that's given you a few ideas of how you can[ST:n ]put a Skell to use.[ST:wait ]
17 qev096102_MSG0013 Anyway, that's one reason. But there's another.[ST:wait ]
18 qev096102_MSG0014 There aren't exactly enough Skells to go around all of[ST:n ]the divisions.[ST:wait ]
19 qev096102_MSG0015 Sometimes situations arise where people have to cross[ST:n ]division lines and cooperate to get things done.[ST:wait ]
20 qev096102_MSG0016 For efficiency's sake, it's important that everyone knows[ST:n ]how the other divisions work.[ST:wait ]
21 qev096102_MSG0017 Make sense?[ST:wait ]
22 qev096102_JNK0030 Confirm
23 qev096102_SEL0031 Nod in understanding.
24 qev096102_JNK0040 Deny
25 qev096102_SEL0041 Shake your head in confusion.
26 qev096102_MSG0018 Hmm. Guess I wasn't very clear.[ST:wait ]
27 qev096102_MSG0019 I'll try again. We can keep going over it till it clicks.[ST:wait ]
28 qev096102_MSG0020 Better that than letting a BLADE run wild in a Skell[ST:n ]without understanding what it means.[ST:wait ]
29 qev096102_MSG0021 Each of the eight divisions has its own characteristic[ST:n ]traits.[ST:wait ]
30 qev096102_MSG0022 You should have gotten a feel for that over the course[ST:n ]of those tests—the types of work they do and the role[ST:n ]they serve in New LA are all different.[ST:wait ]
31 qev096102_MSG0023 And each uses Skells differently as well.[ST:wait ]
32 qev096102_MSG0024 Keep that in mind when deciding how to put yours to[ST:n ]productive use.[ST:wait ]
33 qev096102_MSG0025 Oh, and one more thing.[ST:wait ]
34 qev096102_MSG0026 There's a limit to the number of Skells we've got.[ST:wait ]
35 qev096102_MSG0027 Sometimes we need to pool those resources and work[ST:n ]together to get things done.[ST:wait ]
36 qev096102_MSG0028 Knowing everyone's role is crucial to making such joint[ST:n ]operations run smoothly.[ST:wait ]
37 qev096102_MSG0029 Clearer now?[ST:wait ]
38 qev096102_JNK0050 Confirm
39 qev096102_SEL0051 Nod in understanding.
40 qev096102_JNK0060 Deny
41 qev096102_SEL0061 Say you're still confused.
42 qev096102_MSG0030 Good. Then you are now cleared to own and operate[ST:n ]a Skell![ST:wait ]
43 qev096102_MSG0031 I'll authorize your license now.[ST:wait ]
44 qev096102_MSG0032 I also get to share some good news—looks like you're[ST:n ]being given a free Skell, compliments of Vandham.[ST:wait ]
45 qev096102_MSG0033 It's parked in the hangar in the back.[ST:n ]Go introduce yourself and give it a test ride.[ST:wait ]
46 qev096102_JNK0070 Thank
47 qev096102_SEL0071 Tell Walter how much you appreciate his help.
48 qev096102_JNK0080 Provoke
49 qev096102_SEL0081 Demand that everyone on your team receive a free Skell.
50 qev096102_MSG0034 Just doing my own job. Really, Vandham is the one[ST:n ]you should be thanking.[ST:wait ]
51 qev096102_MSG0035 He must expect big things from you—it's a rare day a[ST:n ]rookie pilot gets issued a Skell free of charge.[ST:wait ]
52 qev096102_MSG0036 I look forward to seeing what you do with it.[ST:wait ]
53 qev096102_MSG0037 ...Wow. You've got brass, I'll give you that.[ST:wait ]
54 qev096102_MSG0038 Commander Vandham paid for that Skell out of his[ST:n ]own private funds.[ST:wait ]
55 qev096102_MSG0039 And you're going to go and ask for... Just...wow.[ST:wait ]
56 qev096102_MSG0040 Yeah, I don't think I'm comfortable issuing a license to[ST:n ]someone who can't appreciate the kindness of others.[ST:wait ]
57 qev096102_MSG0041 Retest![ST:wait ]
58 qev096102_MSG0042 You'll start the whole process over from the beginning.[ST:wait ]
59 qev096102_MSG0043 Er, no. That's too easy. I'm adding a hundred hours of[ST:n ]mandatory classroom training on top of it![ST:wait ]
60 qev096102_MSG0044 ...Is what I SHOULD say.[ST:wait ]
61 qev096102_MSG0045 Seriously, though, if the commander heard you he'd[ST:n ]be crying right now. And is that what you want?[ST:n ]Big salty Vandham tears all over the place?[ST:wait ]
62 qev096102_MSG0046 All right. If you've learned your lesson, go take your[ST:n ]Skell for a ride. Commander Vandham and I both are[ST:n ]expecting great things.[ST:wait ]
63 qev096102_MSG0047 Go become an ace pilot and make yourself useful to[ST:n ]BLADE, all right?[ST:wait ]
64 qev096102_MSG0048 Head on back in the hangar. I'm sure your Skell is[ST:n ]dying to meet its new owner.[ST:wait ]
