Fancy meeting you here, [ST:playername ].[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
tev000192_MSG0002 |
How I wish we could have a pleasant conversation[ST:n ]over a nice cup of tea for once.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
tev000192_MSG0003 |
But unfortunately, I need to attend a new weapons[ST:n ]test after this.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
tev000192_MSG0004 |
It's not enough to simply check up on the Outfitters—[ST:n ]I also need to keep up with our arms manufacturers.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev000192_MSG0005 |
Speaking of which, what's your weapon of choice?[ST:n ]Do you prefer to fight from afar with ranged weapons,[ST:n ]or up close with melee weapons?[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
tev000192_JNK0010 |
Ranged Weapons |
| 7 |
|
tev000192_SEL0011 |
Say you prefer the enemy not see you coming.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
tev000192_JNK0020 |
Melee Weapons |
| 9 |
|
tev000192_SEL0021 |
Say you prefer getting up close and personal.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
tev000192_MSG0006 |
Hmm. A contemporary choice.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
tev000192_MSG0007 |
I imagine a preference for ranged combat would[ST:n ]quickly become ingrained in anyone trying to[ST:n ]survive on this planet.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev000192_MSG0008 |
One would be nearly helpless against the flying[ST:n ]indigens here without some sort of projectile weapon.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev000192_MSG0009 |
Nor would it make much sense to face a flightless[ST:n ]indigen head-on when there are safer options.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev000192_MSG0010 |
Your choice is a prudent one.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev000192_MSG0011 |
Is that right? I hadn't realized you were a[ST:Gender p1= man p2= woman ][ST:n ]of such rarefied tastes.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev000192_MSG0012 |
In the right hands, a melee weapon can be more[ST:n ]reliable than any firearm.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev000192_MSG0013 |
And no weapon more so than the sword.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev000192_MSG0014 |
I once knew a man whose sword techniques were[ST:n ]beyond compare. I wish he was here so you could[ST:n ]meet him.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev000192_MSG0015 |
I'm sure his skill would make you even more enamored[ST:n ]with the sword.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev000192_MSG0016 |
*ahem* Well, that's enough shop talk for now.[ST:n ]The test is about to begin.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev000192_MSG0017 |
Since you've come this far, is there anything you'd like[ST:n ]me to request from the AMs? Don't hold back.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev000192_JNK0110 |
More Variety |
| 23 |
|
tev000192_SEL0111 |
Explain that you'd like a wider range of weapons. |
| 24 |
|
tev000192_JNK0120 |
Better Prices |
| 25 |
|
tev000192_SEL0121 |
Say that you'd like weapons to be more affordable. |
| 26 |
|
tev000192_JNK0130 |
Custom Gear |
| 27 |
|
tev000192_SEL0131 |
Express your desire for custom equipment. |
| 28 |
|
tev000192_MSG0018 |
So you'd like to be able to choose from a wider array[ST:n ]of weaponry, eh?[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev000192_MSG0019 |
I'm sure you can imagine what a challenge it is to[ST:n ]develop new armaments.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev000192_MSG0020 |
I will convey your message, although I doubt they[ST:n ]can accomplish that goal without the cooperation[ST:n ]of BLADE operatives such as yourself.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev000192_MSG0021 |
There's no doubt that lowering prices would put[ST:n ]higher quality gear into the hands of more BLADEs.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev000192_MSG0022 |
I'll be sure to ask them to do what they can to make[ST:n ]their wares more affordable.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev000192_MSG0023 |
But keep in mind these are not mere merchants—they[ST:n ]also need funds to R&D new equipment.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
tev000192_MSG0024 |
Since future weapons-development costs are funded by[ST:n ]the sales of current weapons, they may not be able to[ST:n ]accommodate your request so easily.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev000192_MSG0025 |
Still, I'll see what I can do. Just don't hold it against[ST:n ]them if the prices fail to drop.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
tev000192_MSG0026 |
Well. It seems you've a real mind for weapons.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
tev000192_MSG0027 |
I'm sure the technicians would be delighted to[ST:n ]accommodate you, though I doubt the bean counters[ST:n ]would be nearly so pleased.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
tev000192_MSG0028 |
After all, they've been focusing their efforts on bringing[ST:n ]high-quality weapons to as many BLADE operatives as[ST:n ]possible.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
tev000192_MSG0029 |
Custom equipment would be impossible to mass-[ST:n ]produce, and could also be prohibitively expensive.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
tev000192_MSG0030 |
But such a request might be more feasible once we've[ST:n ]finished building New LA and have become more[ST:n ]accustomed to life here on Mira.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
tev000192_MSG0031 |
Regardless, I'll make the request. Feel free to start[ST:n ]holding your breath in anticipation![ST:wait ] |
