Hey, [ST:playername ].[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
tev001295_MSG0002 |
I was just staring up at the Ma-non ship.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
tev001295_MSG0003 |
Isn't it incredible?[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
tev001295_MSG0004 |
I wonder how the Ma-non ever discovered that[ST:n ]technology.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev001295_MSG0005 |
That thing is so huge! And it isn't even flying—[ST:n ]it just kinda...floats.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
tev001295_MSG0006 |
It makes virtually no noise, and runs off of an[ST:n ]extremely clean energy source.[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
tev001295_MSG0007 |
With everyone’s help, I was able to finally complete[ST:n ]the Skell flight module...[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
tev001295_MSG0008 |
but us humans are still a ways off from being able[ST:n ]to match the Ma-non on the technology front.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
tev001295_MSG0009 |
I've seen a lot of Ganglion tech that impressed me,[ST:n ]too, you know.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
tev001295_MSG0010 |
Like that Zu Pharg, I think it was called?[ST:n ]Yeah, we're nowhere near being able to add flight[ST:n ]capabilities to such massive machines.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
tev001295_MSG0011 |
I'd love to pay a visit to the labs at Meredith & Co.[ST:n ]or Candid & Credible. I bet I could learn a few things.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev001295_JNK0010 |
Encourage |
| 13 |
|
tev001295_SEL0011 |
Tell Lin that her inventions will top theirs one day. |
| 14 |
|
tev001295_JNK0020 |
Accompany |
| 15 |
|
tev001295_SEL0021 |
Tell Lin that you'd like to visit[ST:n ]the arms manufacturers with her. |
| 16 |
|
tev001295_MSG0012 |
Heh. At this rate, that's not likely at all.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev001295_MSG0013 |
It could take decades or even centuries to replicate[ST:n ]those technologies.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev001295_MSG0014 |
And while we're playing catch-up, the Ma-non and[ST:n ]Ganglion will develop newer and better things.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev001295_MSG0015 |
So to help speed things along, even if only a little...[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev001295_MSG0016 |
I need to learn all I can while we have experts here[ST:n ]who are able to teach us.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev001295_MSG0017 |
Once we catch up, hopefully we can start putting our[ST:n ]own human spins on their technology.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev001295_MSG0018 |
I'm sure it'd be fun to have you come along,[ST:n ]but it's probably not worth the effort.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
tev001295_MSG0019 |
I've made tons of requests to these guys, but they[ST:n ]always turn me down.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev001295_MSG0020 |
They may be making equipment for BLADE,[ST:n ]but they're still corporations.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev001295_MSG0021 |
They're not about to start sharing their trade secrets.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev001295_MSG0022 |
And yeah, the Ma-non work with us, but that doesn't[ST:n ]include supplying us with their core technologies...[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev001295_MSG0023 |
Anyway, I hope I'm not worrying you.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev001295_MSG0024 |
I haven't been working on this stuff night and day or[ST:n ]anything. I'm taking some occasional time off.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev001295_MSG0025 |
Elma's been on my case about it. She says I'll burn[ST:n ]myself out if I don't relax more.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev001295_JNK0030 |
Suggest |
| 31 |
|
tev001295_SEL0031 |
Tell Lin to try and do only fun[ST:n ]things on her next day off. |
| 32 |
|
tev001295_JNK0040 |
Defend |
| 33 |
|
tev001295_SEL0041 |
Tell Lin it's fine as long as she's enjoying herself. |
| 34 |
|
tev001295_MSG0026 |
What, for the entire DAY?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev001295_MSG0027 |
...Huh. That does sound pretty relaxing.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
tev001295_MSG0028 |
But I'm not sure if I could be away from my machines[ST:n ]for so long.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
tev001295_MSG0029 |
Like, if I went to the park, there'd be cars driving[ST:n ]around, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
tev001295_MSG0030 |
Or if I went to see a movie, who knows what sort of[ST:n ]fantastical technology might come up in the story?[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
tev001295_MSG0031 |
And then I'd find myself wondering what makes them[ST:n ]tick, and how I could improve them...[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
tev001295_MSG0032 |
And then? BLAMMO! I'm back at work.[ST:n ]Happens every time.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
tev001295_MSG0033 |
I thought that once I completed the flight module,[ST:n ]I'd be okay not working on anything for a while.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
tev001295_MSG0034 |
But completing it was so thrilling that it made me[ST:n ]want to start working on upgrades.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
tev001295_MSG0035 |
Honestly, just having this conversation makes me want[ST:n ]to run home and grab a wrench![ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
tev001295_MSG0036 |
Anyway, I'm gonna go check on the Skells.[ST:n ]See you back at the barracks![ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
tev001295_MSG0037 |
Aw, thanks for saying that.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
tev001295_MSG0038 |
I love tinkering with machines. It's a ton of fun.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
tev001295_MSG0039 |
My designs don't work out most of the time,[ST:n ]but I can always try again, as much as I want.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
tev001295_MSG0040 |
I think Elma's worried about me getting so obsessed[ST:n ]with my fiddling that I stop taking care of myself.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
tev001295_MSG0041 |
And when I say something like, \"I'll only do it for an[ST:n ]hour today,\" five hours go by before I even realize it.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
tev001295_MSG0042 |
Honestly, just having this conversation makes me want[ST:n ]to run home and grab a wrench![ST:wait ] |

tev001295_MSG0043 |
Anyway, I'm gonna go check on the Skells.[ST:n ]See you back at the barracks![ST:wait ] |
