Good morning, [ST:playername ].[ST:n ]To think I'd run into you here, of all places![ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
tev001793_MSG0002 |
I've actually just completed a mission.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
tev001793_JNK0010 |
Support[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
tev001793_SEL0011 |
Kindly ask Hope if the mission went well.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev001793_JNK0020 |
Inquire[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
tev001793_SEL0021 |
Bluntly ask Hope how much she earned.[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
tev001793_MSG0009 |
Oh, it was fine, thank you.[ST:n ]It wasn't a very challenging task at all.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
tev001793_MSG0010 |
I performed guard duty for someone doing early-[ST:n ]morning maintenance on the outer wall.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
tev001793_MSG0011 |
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any indigens,[ST:n ]and the work was completed without incident.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
tev001793_MSG0012 |
I just stood there like a scarecrow the entire time,[ST:n ]so I didn't even accept the reward.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
tev001793_MSG0014 |
I didn't accept any compensation.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|

I performed guard duty for someone performing early-[ST:n ]morning maintenance on the outer wall.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev001793_MSG0016 |
But we didn't encounter any indigens, so I merely stood[ST:n ]there like a scarecrow the entire time.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev001793_MSG0018 |
Once I've earned enough money to cover the next[ST:n ]month's expenses, I decline additional rewards.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev001793_MSG0019 |
Previously, I would only save an amount equal to a[ST:n ]week's expenses, but Ornella convinced me to save[ST:n ]more in case of emergencies.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev001793_MSG0020 |
I pursue missions to help others—not for material gain.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev001793_MSG0021 |
And for that reason, I prefer to refuse rewards[ST:n ]whenever possible.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev001793_JNK0030 |
Praise[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev001793_SEL0031 |
Laud Hope's selflessness.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev001793_JNK0040 |
Convince[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev001793_SEL0041 |
Persuade Hope to accept the rewards[ST:n ]and save up a little bit of money.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev001793_JNK0050 |
Lecture[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
tev001793_SEL0051 |
Tell Hope to honor the terms of her[ST:n ]BLADE contract and take the money.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev001793_MSG0029 |
Thank you for saying so. Honestly, I haven't met many[ST:n ]people who approve of my stance on this matter.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev001793_MSG0030 |
While it hasn't caused me to waiver in my beliefs,[ST:n ]it's always encouraging to have someone's support.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev001793_MSG0031 |
As a gardener, I've always been fond of this quote:[ST:n ]\"Money is like manure. It does no good unless you[ST:n ]spread it around.\"[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev001793_MSG0032 |
And extra money just stinks! ...That's not actually part[ST:n ]of the quote, but I think the spirit is there, at least.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev001793_MSG0033 |
Money can do wonderful things to help people,[ST:n ]but only if you let it find its way to those who need it.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev001793_MSG0034 |
I'd encourage you to try doing a mission without[ST:n ]accepting the reward.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev001793_MSG0035 |
Needless to say, I'd be honored to be on your team[ST:n ]when that happens![ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev001793_MSG0040 |
Ornella said much the same thing.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev001793_MSG0041 |
I agree that it's a good idea to save some money[ST:n ]for emergencies.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev001793_MSG0042 |
After all, money can solve a lot of problems.[ST:n ]It is, as they say, a grand servant and terrible master.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |

tev001793_MSG0045 |
Do you know where the reward money for BLADE[ST:n ]missions comes from? In many cases, it's from the[ST:n ]pocket of someone who needs help.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
tev001793_MSG0046 |
Once they spend all their money to pay the first[ST:n ]reward, what will become of them next time?[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
tev001793_MSG0047 |
What if they can't afford to pay a reward the next[ST:n ]time they're in trouble?[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
tev001793_MSG0048 |
That's one of the reasons I refuse rewards. So that the[ST:n ]people I've helped will be able to afford help again.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
tev001793_MSG0049 |
But forgive me for blathering on like this.[ST:n ]I do not mean to preach.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
tev001793_MSG0050 |
I'm going back to the residential district.[ST:n ]I promised Ada I'd meet her there.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
tev001793_MSG0054 |
Ah. So you're concerned that if we BLADEs do not[ST:n ]accept rewards for our work, our clients will expect[ST:n ]such assistance for free?[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
tev001793_MSG0055 |
Is that the gist of your problem?[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
tev001793_MSG0056 |
Interesting. I've never heard of anyone being reluctant[ST:n ]to pay a reward for a BLADE mission. Have you?[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
tev001793_MSG0057 |
I believe that everyone in New LA is a good person.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
tev001793_MSG0058 |
They understand how hard it is to work as a BLADE.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
tev001793_MSG0059 |
And that's why they offer to pay reasonable[ST:n ]compensation for the work that we do.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
tev001793_MSG0060 |
But I don't mean to dismiss your concerns.[ST:n ]They're not entirely baseless.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
tev001793_MSG0061 |
It is certainly not my intention to devalue the work that[ST:n ]other BLADE members do.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
tev001793_MSG0062 |
If I ever felt that the people of New LA were at risk of[ST:n ]somehow losing respect for the BLADEs they employ,[ST:n ]I would have to draw the line.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
tev001793_MSG0063 |
But I prefer to believe that we live in a just world where[ST:n ]that sort of thing wouldn't happen.[ST:wait ] |
