1 qev015201_MSG0001 Hey there. Can I ask your help with something?[ST:wait ]
2 qev015201_MSG0002 It's wonderful that we've begun living with the Ma-non.[ST:n ]Truly it is.[ST:wait ]
3 qev015201_MSG0003 But as you probably know, any sudden surge in[ST:n ]population brings with it certain...problems.[ST:wait ]
4 qev015201_JNK0010 Gripe
5 qev015201_SEL0011 Start ranting about how the Ma-non[ST:n ]are so annoying and wishy-washy.
6 qev015201_JNK0020 Query
7 qev015201_SEL0021 Ask Ajoa if she's talking about a food shortage.
8 qev015201_MSG0004 Well, that's... I mean, yes. Our races certainly have[ST:n ]some cultural differences.[ST:wait ]
9 qev015201_MSG0005 But I think you're overlooking a more fundamental issue.[ST:wait ]
10 qev015201_MSG0006 That will likely be a problem at some point, yes,[ST:n ]but it's rather outside of my area of expertise.[ST:wait ]
11 qev015201_MSG0007 I speak of something we need just as much as food.[ST:n ]Perhaps even more.[ST:wait ]
12 qev015201_MSG0008 ...Water. New LA is looking at a huge shortage of[ST:n ]clean, potable water.[ST:wait ]
13 qev015201_MSG0009 We're trying to build a purification plant on a lake[ST:n ]outside the city, but indigens are preventing us from[ST:n ]transporting materials to the site.[ST:wait ]
14 qev015201_MSG0010 Might I convince you to secure the route for us?[ST:n ]Once we can ship in the necessary materials,[ST:n ]the project shouldn't take long at all.[ST:wait ]
15 qev015201_MSG0011 Water is essential to life, and I'm quite proud to be on[ST:n ]the hydrology team here.[ST:wait ]
16 qev015201_MSG0012 From the drinks you see everyone chugging to a hot[ST:n ]post-mission shower, nearly all of our daily activities[ST:n ]require clean water in some form.[ST:wait ]
17 qev015201_MSG0013 So you can see how important this project is.[ST:wait ]
18 qev015201_MSG0014 I heard the reports—excellent work![ST:n ]I really appreciate everything you've done.[ST:wait ]
19 qev015201_MSG0015 You cleared out the construction area as well, right?[ST:n ]Well, I'd love to throw a bonus your way, but perhaps[ST:n ]we can just call that part community service?[ST:wait ]
20 qev015201_MSG0016 Sorry, but you know how budgets are...[ST:wait ]
21 qev015201_MSG0017 So this is water from the site, eh?[ST:wait ]
22 qev015201_MSG0018 ...Ugh. Again with these shoddy containers![ST:n ]I keep telling them the samples need to be airtight.[ST:wait ]
23 qev015201_MSG0019 I'm sure it's probably fine, but water is a critical[ST:n ]resource, you know?[ST:wait ]
24 qev015201_MSG0020 The foundation of life AND civilizations—which is why[ST:n ]the Roman aqueducts were used for over 2,000 years.[ST:wait ]
25 qev015201_MSG0021 Well then, cheers to our new civilization![ST:n ]It's okay if I pay you in water, right?[ST:wait ]
26 qev015201_MSG0022 Kidding! Just kidding.[ST:n ]I'll set the transfer up for you.[ST:wait ]
27 qev015201_MSG0023 I heard the reports—excellent work![ST:n ]I really appreciate everything you've done.[ST:wait ]
28 qev015201_MSG0024 Sounds like you helped the builders out with materials,[ST:n ]too. Though if you want a stipend, I'm afraid you'll[ST:n ]have to invoice the construction company.[ST:wait ]
29 qev015201_MSG0025 Sorry, but I don't have the clearance to authorize it.[ST:n ]...Or the budget, for that matter.[ST:wait ]
30 qev015201_MSG0026 So this is water from the site, eh?[ST:wait ]
31 qev015201_MSG0027 ...Ugh. Again with these shoddy containers![ST:n ]I keep telling them the samples need to be airtight.[ST:wait ]
32 qev015201_MSG0028 I'm sure it's probably fine, but water is a critical[ST:n ]resource, you know?[ST:wait ]
33 qev015201_MSG0029 The foundation of life AND civilizations—which is why[ST:n ]the Roman aqueducts were used for over 2,000 years.[ST:wait ]
34 qev015201_MSG0030 Well then, cheers to our new civilization![ST:n ]It's okay if I pay you in water, right?[ST:wait ]
35 qev015201_MSG0031 Kidding! Just kidding.[ST:n ]I'll set the transfer up for you.[ST:wait ]
