13 tev091401_MSG0001 The outer wall of New LA also served as the hull of the[ST:n ]White Whale.[ST:wait ]
14 tev091401_MSG0002 Essential parts of the city's power and communications[ST:n ]grids are embedded inside it.[ST:wait ]
15 tev091401_MSG0003 So if it were to be destroyed, of course we'd have to[ST:n ]worry all kinds of outside enemies infiltrating the city.[ST:wait ]
16 tev091401_MSG0004 But the bigger problem is that New LA's core[ST:n ]functionality as a city would be in danger of collapse![ST:wait ]
17 tev091401_MSG0005 I'm not going to let Lin beat me when it comes to[ST:n ]keeping the wall both inspected and maintained,[ST:n ]so I hope you'll do your part to keep it protected.[ST:wait ]
18 tev091401_MSG0010 The other day, Lin and I had a great brainstorming[ST:n ]session about the way energy is supplied to New LA.[ST:wait ]
19 tev091401_MSG0011 One of the ideas that stuck out for me was using the[ST:n ]lava from Molten Hollow to the north as a source of[ST:n ]geothermal power.[ST:wait ]
20 tev091401_MSG0012 I've asked command to let me research the feasibility[ST:n ]of the idea.[ST:wait ]
21 tev091401_MSG0013 Now don't get me wrong—I'm sure Lin is a hell of a[ST:n ]BLADE when it comes to combat and the like...[ST:wait ]
22 tev091401_MSG0014 But she has such interesting ideas! I wish she could just[ST:n ]work as a mechanic here with me every day.[ST:wait ]
23 tev091401_MSG0019 We took a lot of hits from the Ganglion's artillery,[ST:n ]but the walls were barely damaged at all.[ST:wait ]
24 tev091401_MSG0020 Remember, that wall was the hull of the White Whale—[ST:n ]it was built to resist space debris even when traveling[ST:n ]at faster-than-light speeds.[ST:wait ]
25 tev091401_MSG0021 Don't get me wrong—I was terrified to see our enemies[ST:n ]infiltrate as far as they did.[ST:wait ]
26 tev091401_MSG0022 But I knew that between you BLADEs and this wall[ST:n ]that was left to us by the builders of the White Whale,[ST:n ]the battle was ours to lose.[ST:wait ]
27 tev091401_MSG0027 I was researching who it was that designed the hull of[ST:n ]the White Whale so that it could shrug off even the[ST:n ]Ganglion's artillery...[ST:wait ]
28 tev091401_MSG0028 And guess what I found? The names of Lin's parents[ST:n ]were listed among its architects![ST:wait ]
29 tev091401_MSG0029 I heard that they'd died in an accident during the[ST:n ]testing of the main engine.[ST:wait ]
30 tev091401_MSG0030 And yet, in a way, they're still protecting Lin and the[ST:n ]rest of us today.[ST:wait ]
