1 tev001493_MSG0001 Fancy meeting you here, [ST:playername ].[ST:wait ]
2 tev001493_MSG0002 As you can see, I was just having my gun serviced.[ST:wait ]
3 tev001493_MSG0003 I've been working with her since we were back[ST:n ]on Earth. She knows exactly what I want,[ST:n ]and always tunes it to perfection.[ST:wait ]
4 tev001493_MSG0004 How about you, [ST:playername ]?[ST:n ]How do you keep your weapons maintained?[ST:wait ]
5 tev001493_JNK0010 Shrug
6 tev001493_SEL0011 Tell Irina that you don't really perform maintenance.
7 tev001493_JNK0020 Boast
8 tev001493_SEL0021 Brag about your rigorous and amazing[ST:n ]personalized maintenance routine.
9 tev001493_MSG0005 What, ever?! Wow. You must like living on the edge.[ST:wait ]
10 tev001493_MSG0006 But don't you understand that if you don't keep your[ST:n ]equipment optimized at all times, something is certain[ST:n ]to go horribly, horribly wrong?[ST:wait ]
11 tev001493_MSG0007 Armor is one thing—that just hurts you if it fails.[ST:n ]But weapons protect the lives of friends and comrades.[ST:wait ]
12 tev001493_MSG0008 And if you value them, you need to do everything[ST:n ]possible to protect them.[ST:wait ]
13 tev001493_MSG0009 Although if I had to guess, I'd say that Lin probably[ST:n ]cleans and maintains your weapon while you're asleep.[ST:wait ]
14 tev001493_MSG0010 That girl is always looking out for her friends.[ST:n ]Meanwhile, you're so careless you haven't even noticed![ST:wait ]
15 tev001493_MSG0011 Then you're the sort of [ST:Gender p1=man p2=woman ]people can count on.[ST:n ]No wonder the colonel took you under her wing.[ST:wait ]
16 tev001493_MSG0012 Armor is one thing—that just hurts you if it fails.[ST:n ]But weapons protect the lives of friends and comrades.[ST:wait ]
17 tev001493_MSG0013 If you don't keep them in perfect condition, you might[ST:n ]not be able to give your all when your team needs you.[ST:wait ]
18 tev001493_MSG0014 Have you heard of a man named Mondo, by the way?[ST:wait ]
19 tev001493_JNK0030 Affirm
20 tev001493_SEL0031 Claim to know all about Mondo.
21 tev001493_JNK0040 Deny
22 tev001493_SEL0041 Say you don't recognize the name.
23 tev001493_MSG0015 Heh. You guys must have met, then.[ST:wait ]
24 tev001493_MSG0016 He's from Lao's team. Real low-key guy.[ST:wait ]
25 tev001493_MSG0017 Give Mondo a gun you want serviced,[ST:n ]and he'll do you better than any mechanic in New LA.[ST:wait ]
26 tev001493_MSG0018 Gwin was so impressed, he actually asked to be[ST:n ]Mondo's apprentice.[ST:wait ]
27 tev001493_MSG0019 So lately, whenever Gwin has a free moment,[ST:n ]he disassembles his weapon and gets to work.[ST:wait ]
28 tev001493_MSG0020 I'm sure it's great practice, but...[ST:n ]Well, it's starting to get weird.[ST:wait ]
29 tev001493_MSG0021 Like, when he's done? He always spends a few[ST:n ]moments stroking it with the tips of his fingers.[ST:wait ]
30 tev001493_MSG0022 And then—I kid you not—he LICKS it![ST:n ]It's maybe the most revolting thing I've ever seen.[ST:wait ]
31 tev001493_MSG0023 So next time you run into Gwin, tell him not to be[ST:n ]such a creep-o, all right?[ST:wait ]
32 tev001493_MSG0024 Give Mondo a gun you want serviced, and he'll do you[ST:n ]better than any mechanic in New LA.[ST:wait ]
33 tev001493_MSG0025 Gwin actually became his apprentice and was starting[ST:n ]to learn his secrets.[ST:wait ]
34 tev001493_MSG0026 But I guess Mondo won't be able to teach Gwin[ST:n ]anything again.[ST:wait ]
35 tev001493_MSG0027 To think that so skilled a BLADE could be brought[ST:n ]down like that...[ST:wait ]
36 tev001493_MSG0028 Even when your weapons are in pristine condition,[ST:n ]I guess we all eventually face a threat that's just too[ST:n ]big to handle.[ST:wait ]
37 tev001493_MSG0029 When my time comes, I don't want to be regretting[ST:n ]that I cut corners prepping my gear.[ST:wait ]
38 tev001493_MSG0030 You can't ignore the little things.[ST:wait ]
39 tev001493_MSG0031 Sometimes the little things are all that keep us BLADEs[ST:n ]alive out there.[ST:wait ]
