1 xs02020100_MSG0001 Now then, let's discuss that training assignment.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
2 xs02020100_MSG0002 We've decided to start you out on a probe installation,[ST:n ]just to get your feet wet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
3 xs02020100_MSG0003 I guess we should back up a bit—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
4 xs02020100_MSG0004 here in New LA, we're using a[ST:n ]specialized computer system called FrontierNav[ST:page p1=120 ]to help us deploy a sensor grid across Mira—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
5 xs02020100_MSG0005 a network of data probes that allows us to monitor conditions[ST:n ]and collect all kinds of information about the planet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
6 xs02020100_MSG0006 Expanding that grid and filling in the blind spots[ST:n ]is one of BLADE's highest priorities.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
7 xs02020100_MSG0006_2 Here, take a look at this.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
8 xs02020100_MSG0007 What you're seeing on-screen is a terrain map[ST:n ]that includes New LA and the surrounding landmass.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
9 xs02020100_MSG0008 As you can see, we've divided the area[ST:n ]into a series of hexagonal blocks.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
10 xs02020100_MSG0009 We call these blocks \"segments,\"[ST:n ]and together, they form our grid.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
11 xs02020100_MSG0010 We determined this was the most efficient pattern,[ST:n ]given the limited range of our probes.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
12 xs02020100_MSG0011 Based on it, we know exactly where we need[ST:n ]the probes to go—now we just have to install them.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
13 xs02020100_MSG0012 The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
14 xs02020100_MSG0013 The FrontierNav probes can also detect[ST:n ]the general locations of living things in the vicinity,[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
15 xs02020100_MSG0014 which comes in handy if we need to[ST:n ]track down a BLADE or another citizen.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
16 xs02020100_MSG0015 Yes, quite handy indeed.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
17 xs02020100_MSG0016 So, for this first exercise you'll be heading here—[ST:n ]to that white segment.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
18 xs02020100_MSG0017 Go there, install the data probe,[ST:n ]and then come back home.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
19 xs02020100_MSG0018 Got it. East of the city.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
20 xs02020100_MSG0019 In that case, we can take the east gate[ST:n ]out of the administrative district, right?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
21 xs02020100_MSG0020 We should be there in no time.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
22 xs02020100_MSG0023 I'll leave the details on the data probe[ST:n ]installation procedure to you, Elma.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
23 xs02020100_MSG0024 Of course, Mr. Secretary.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
24 xs02020100_MSG0025 All right, you two—shall we?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
25 xs02020100_MSG0026 Yeah! Training or not,[ST:n ]let's go install the HELL outta that probe![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
