tev000994_MSG0003 |
Is that you, [ST:playername ]?[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
tev000994_MSG0004 |
I'd not expected to encounter you here.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev000994_MSG0005 |
When I'm not on duty, I come here to meditate.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
tev000994_MSG0006 |
I set my entire being to the goal of finding wisdom,[ST:n ]but such a thing is not so easily attained.[ST:wait ] |

Inquire |

|
tev000994_SEL0011 |
Ask Bozé about his religious outlook. |

|
tev000994_JNK0020 |
Chide |
| 10 |
|
tev000994_SEL0021 |
Explain that churches aren't for meditation—temples are. |
| 11 |
|
tev000994_MSG0007 |
Hmm. I'll take that question to mean \"how did you end[ST:n ]up becoming so strangely pious?\"[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev000994_MSG0008 |
My religious journey began many decades ago,[ST:n ]on my first mission as a platoon leader in Asia.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev000994_MSG0009 |
Led astray by bad intel, my platoon was isolated in the[ST:n ]jungle and eventually overrun.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev000994_MSG0010 |
A girl from a nearby village found me at the brink of[ST:n ]death and saved my life.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev000994_MSG0011 |
And there, I learned the most wonderful lesson...[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev000994_MSG0012 |
It began with learning how to make a basic rice[ST:n ]porridge.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev000994_MSG0013 |
It's a simple but powerful food, and one with the[ST:n ]power to change lives. It certainly returned me to life.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev000994_MSG0014 |
But what happened after that, you ask?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev000994_MSG0015 |
On the 22nd day after my platoon was ambushed,[ST:n ]they came for me.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev000994_MSG0016 |
Just as I finished saying my farewells and the helicopter[ST:n ]lifted into the air...[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev000994_MSG0017 |
It was hit by a rocket.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev000994_MSG0018 |
...And so, it wasn't until the 49th day that I was finally[ST:n ]reunited with the army.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
tev000994_MSG0019 |
And after that...[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev000994_MSG0020 |
...And that's how I came to be here.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev000994_MSG0021 |
Admittedly, I omitted several decades there.[ST:n ]But I believe I was able to convey the gist of it.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev000994_MSG0022 |
If you'd like to know more, come speak with me again.[ST:n ]Next time I'll fill in a few of the blanks.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev000994_MSG0023 |
I shall await you, O seeker of knowledge.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev000994_MSG0024 |
True, churches are generally not considered appropriate[ST:n ]places to meditate.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev000994_MSG0025 |
However, I have yet to discover a temple in New LA.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev000994_MSG0026 |
Some people prefer to meditate under large trees,[ST:n ]but I don't believe New LA has any of those, either.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev000994_MSG0027 |
And if I were to attempt to meditate outside of the city,[ST:n ]I'd awaken from it in the belly of some indigen.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev000994_MSG0028 |
So to put it simply, this is the best place I've found to[ST:n ]meditate on this planet.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev000994_MSG0029 |
But that is enough for today. I'm heading back to the[ST:n ]barracks to get myself some breakfast.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
tev000994_MSG0030 |
And there is no finer way to break one's fast than with[ST:n ]a meal of boiled tofu and salsa![ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev000994_MSG0031 |
If you'd like to join me, you're certainly welcome.[ST:wait ] |
