Expanding the effective area of the deflector shields[ST:n ]would require optimizing our energy output by at[ST:n ]least eight percent.[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
tev001191_MSG0002 |
The only way to accomplish that is by multiplexing our[ST:n ]energy drivers.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
tev001191_MSG0003 |
...All right. I'll prepare a couple of design proposals.[ST:n ]You can bring them to the mechanical team and see[ST:n ]which they think is the most workable.[ST:wait ] |

|
tev001191_MSG0004 |
Oh, hello there, [ST:playername ].[ST:n ]Sorry about that.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev001191_MSG0005 |
I was wrapped up in a conversation about technical[ST:n ]issues with New LA's defenses. ...Which you heard.[ST:n ]Anyway, I didn't even notice you were there.[ST:wait ] |

Praise |
| 7 |
|
tev001191_SEL0011 |
Express admiration for Elma's many talents. |
| 8 |
|
tev001191_JNK0020 |
Worry |
| 9 |
|
tev001191_SEL0021 |
Show concern that Elma is pushing herself too hard. |
| 10 |
|
tev001191_MSG0006 |
That? Oh, it's nothing. I did a little bit of mechanical[ST:n ]engineering work years ago, but it hardly qualifies[ST:n ]as one of \"many\" talents.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
tev001191_MSG0007 |
Honestly, outside of engineering, combat is my only[ST:n ]noteworthy talent. I can't even cook like Lin.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev001191_MSG0008 |
So I'm determined to see what few talents I do have[ST:n ]put to the best possible use for the people of NLA.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev001191_MSG0009 |
That's very kind of you, [ST:playername ].[ST:n ]But you needn't worry.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev001191_MSG0010 |
I find drafting mechanical schematics to be a fine way[ST:n ]to relax after all the combat we've seen lately.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev001191_MSG0011 |
And besides, in times of need like this, we all need to[ST:n ]contribute in whatever ways we can.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev001191_MSG0012 |
I hope you, too, can avoid being constrained by the[ST:n ]constant demands of BLADE, and can put your other[ST:n ]talents to use now and then for the good of New LA.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev001191_JNK0030 |
Agree |
| 18 |
|
tev001191_SEL0031 |
Say that you aspire to lead just such a life. |
| 19 |
|
tev001191_JNK0040 |
Disagree |
| 20 |
|
tev001191_SEL0041 |
Say that you serve New LA best by focusing on BLADE. |
| 21 |
|
tev001191_MSG0013 |
I'm glad you understand. If everyone used their unique[ST:n ]talents to help everyone else out, I know we'd be able[ST:n ]to survive our current travails.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev001191_MSG0014 |
And beyond that, we'd be better positioned to build a[ST:n ]bright future for all of us here in New LA.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
tev001191_MSG0015 |
Then we BLADEs could truly say that we're[ST:n ]\"building a legacy.\"[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev001191_MSG0016 |
So you'd prefer to hone a single skill in hopes that it'll[ST:n ]let you make greater contributions to New LA?[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev001191_MSG0017 |
Hmm. I suppose such a singular focus WOULD let[ST:n ]you perform feats that wouldn't be possible if you[ST:n ]were distracted by other activities...[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev001191_MSG0018 |
That way of thinking is a bit...alien to me, but I find[ST:n ]your viewpoint eye-opening. I'm glad we had this talk,[ST:n ][ST:playername ].[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev001191_MSG0019 |
But I will say, if that's going to be your focus, I'll be[ST:n ]expecting great things from you on our next mission.[ST:n ]In fact, I'll make sure it's one only you could complete![ST:wait ] |
