I know Lin looks demure, but she's stubborn as an ox.[ST:n ]Once she decides on a course of action, she won't let[ST:n ]anything get in her way.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev015401_0002 |
Right now, she's apparently working on some[ST:n ]contraption that's supposed to let Skells fly.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev015401_0003 |
The more levelheaded mechanics keep telling her to[ST:n ]give it up, but it doesn't look like she intends to take[ST:n ]their advice.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev015401_0004 |
On the contrary, she's in talks with Commander[ST:n ]Vandham about increasing her development budget.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev015401_0005 |
I'd put the odds of failure at around 99 percent for[ST:n ]your normal, run-of-the-mill mechanic.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev015401_0006 |
But given how stubborn Lin is, we may well see massive[ST:n ]Skells doing loop-the-loops over New LA one day.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev015401_0010 |
We need to develop equipment that is capable of[ST:n ]resisting the strange energy attacks used by Miran[ST:n ]indigens.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev015401_0011 |
But with the technologies that are currently available[ST:n ]to Sakuraba Industries, that won't be an easy task.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev015401_0012 |
No matter how thick we layer the armor, that energy[ST:n ]can blast right through it and harm the wearer.[ST:n ]It's like the laws of physics don't even apply![ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev015401_0013 |
We're grateful that you choose Sakuraba products,[ST:n ]so it shames me to have to say this, but please be[ST:n ]careful around indigens that use those energy attacks.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev015401_0014 |
You'd be shocked at how ineffective your current armor[ST:n ]is against them.[ST:wait ] |

She's developing a device that will somehow give the[ST:n ]power of flight to Skells that were designed for[ST:n ]terrestrial combat.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev015401_0020 |
Her actual development work has made some good[ST:n ]progress, but the field tests are apparently not going[ST:n ]well.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev015401_0021 |
Earlier, the test Skell lost control and nearly crashed[ST:n ]into the city! That, er, caused quite the fuss...[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev015401_0022 |
It's not looking like the device is going to be easy to[ST:n ]complete.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev015401_0023 |
But Lin's passion for the project remains unabated,[ST:n ]and that has me convinced that she'll see it through[ST:n ]somehow.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev015401_0028 |
Ma-non technology is absolutely unbelievable.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev015401_0029 |
You know the armor that we've been working on—[ST:n ]with no success, I might add—to resist the strange[ST:n ]energy attacks used by some Miran indigens?[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev015401_0030 |
Well, the Ma-non banged it out like it was nothing![ST:n ]I really want to ask Candid & Credible's head[ST:n ]technologist, Jajanni, how it works.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev015401_0031 |
But as friendly as the Ma-non are, I bet even they[ST:n ]wouldn't share trade secrets with a competitor.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev015401_1001 |
I was first shown the schematics for a prototype of[ST:n ]the Skell flight module years ago.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev015401_1002 |
And do you know who it was that approached me[ST:n ]about it? Lin's parents![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
tev015401_1003 |
They began development on it way back then,[ST:n ]fully aware that it would take a great deal of time[ST:n ]to complete.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev015401_1004 |
Who'd have believed that their daughter would be the[ST:n ]one to improve on their design and ultimately complete[ST:n ]the project after their deaths?[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
tev015401_1005 |
How happy they must be, wherever they are now,[ST:n ]to see their daughter bring their vision to life.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
tev015401_1010 |
Thanks to our joint development of the Skell flight[ST:n ]module with Jajanni's team, Sakuraba Industries and[ST:n ]Candid & Credible are closer than ever.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
tev015401_1011 |
We're now having much deeper discussions with them[ST:n ]than we'd ever thought possible.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
tev015401_1012 |
Jajanni has even been participating in technology-[ST:n ]exchange conferences, where he's been discussing[ST:n ]all sorts of things with us.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
tev015401_1013 |
It's just one new discovery after another for us now.[ST:n ]Hard to believe I'm still learning new things at my age.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
tev015401_1014 |
We have to start making even better weapons,[ST:n ]so as not to waste the goodwill with the Ma-non[ST:n ]that Lin has created for us.[ST:wait ] |
