10 tev017801_MSG0001 When the White Whale was in flight, Vandham was its[ST:n ]chief engineer. He earned the respect of a lot of the[ST:n ]mechanics on board.[ST:wait ]
11 tev017801_MSG0002 Most of the people in my department continue to hold[ST:n ]a deep admiration for the man.[ST:wait ]
12 tev017801_MSG0003 I know it was constantly being screamed at by[ST:n ]Vandham that made me the skilled tech I am today.[ST:wait ]
13 tev017801_MSG0004 But even now, whenever the commander pays us a visit,[ST:n ]I feel like a schoolboy in the presence of his teacher.[ST:wait ]
14 tev017801_MSG0010 I have a co-worker named Brenna who works as the[ST:n ]control-systems planner.[ST:wait ]
15 tev017801_MSG0011 But whenever there's the slightest issue,[ST:n ]she immediately decides that it's impossible.[ST:wait ]
16 tev017801_MSG0012 And when we brainstorm ideas, she has a tendency to[ST:n ]shoot down anything new before we can really[ST:n ]explore the possibilities.[ST:wait ]
17 tev017801_MSG0013 It's an engineer's job to always be searching for new[ST:n ]solutions, so I wish she could learn to be a little more[ST:n ]flexible in her thinking.[ST:wait ]
18 tev017801_MSG0015 Your Skell's frame level limits the weapons and[ST:n ]armor it can equip.[ST:wait ]
19 tev017801_MSG0016 In other words, if you want to use high-powered[ST:n ]weaponry, you'll need a frame that's built to handle[ST:n ]that level of power.[ST:wait ]
20 tev017801_MSG0017 When you're shopping for a frame, don't just compare[ST:n ]attack and durability stats—make sure it's capable of[ST:n ]equipping the gear you were hoping to use.[ST:wait ]
21 tev017801_MSG1001 I was talking with Brenna the other day.[ST:n ]Seems like she's really learned to be more flexible[ST:n ]in her approach to problems.[ST:wait ]
22 tev017801_MSG1002 Until recently, whenever there was an issue she would[ST:n ]immediately go straight to the most established and[ST:n ]least risky solution.[ST:wait ]
23 tev017801_MSG1003 But when we spoke last time, all she wanted to talk[ST:n ]about was pursuing one new possibility after another![ST:n ]I almost wondered if I was talking to Lin in disguise.[ST:wait ]
24 tev017801_MSG1004 Maybe she learned something important from that big[ST:n ]job we did recently. I know I did![ST:wait ]
