xs03090100_MSG0001 |
So, Rook, feel like you're starting to get the hang of things?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 2 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0010 |
Nod |
| 3 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0011 |
Show confidence. |
| 4 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0020 |
Shake Your Head |
| 5 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0021 |
Show hesitation. |
| 6 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0002 |
Course you are![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 7 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0003 |
You've taken to it like a fish to water—[ST:n ]just like Elma and the Commander said you would.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 8 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0004 |
Just the same, let's review the key points,[ST:n ]and I can fill in some extra details.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 9 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0005 |
Course not, you just started.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 10 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0006 |
All right, well, why don't we review the key points then,[ST:n ]and I can fill in some details.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 11 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0007 |
BLADE's top priority right now is to[ST:n ]secure missing pieces of the Lifehold.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 12 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0008 |
You remember that much.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 13 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0009 |
Countless people are frozen in the Lifehold—[ST:n ]it's the key to restoring humanity.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 14 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0010 |
Up until we ran into the Prone,[ST:page p1=40 ]our biggest concern was that wild indigens[ST:n ]would stumble on the Lifehold and damage it somehow...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 15 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0011 |
But now, there's a more pressing threat—[ST:n ]intelligent alien races who are intentionally trying to destroy us.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 16 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0012 |
So our search has new urgency...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 17 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0013 |
We need to find and retrieve all of the Lifehold ASAP.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 18 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0014 |
And the best way to do that is by[ST:n ]expanding the reach of FrontierNav.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 19 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0015 |
The more probes we can install, the wider we can scan,[ST:n ]and the faster we can find bits of the Lifehold.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 20 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0016 |
So our primary focus going forward should be[ST:n ]to travel around Mira installing data probes—[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 21 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0017 |
as many as we can, as fast as we can.[ST:n ]I can't stress enough how important this is.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 22 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0018 |
You still with me?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 23 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0030 |
Nod |
| 24 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0031 |
Assure Elma you understand. |
| 25 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0040 |
Cock Your Head |
| 26 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0041 |
Look confused. |
| 27 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0019 |
Good. Then let's move on to the other pressing threat[ST:n ]that BLADE has to deal with:[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 28 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0020 |
Okay, once more from the top, then:[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 29 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0021 |
Hostile indigens. There's no real delicate way to put this...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 30 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0022 |
Any wildlife that poses a clear threat must be eliminated.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 31 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0023 |
The Lifehold is our future, but we can't ignore the present.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 32 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0024 |
We still have our duty to keep New LA safe.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 33 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0025 |
And sometimes that duty requires enacting coordinated[ST:n ]strikes to solve problems before they can do real harm.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 34 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0026 |
We're the newcomers here, it's true—[ST:n ]and they're usually just out to defend their territory.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 35 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0027 |
But sometimes it really is them or us.[ST:n ]And we have to make sure it's us.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 36 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0028 |
Don't get me wrong—it's not like we run out there[ST:n ]and light up anything that moves.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 37 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0029 |
Only BLADE HQ can choose targets,[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 38 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0030 |
and they tend to keep them strictly to creatures[ST:n ]that pose a significant threat to our survival.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 39 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0031 |
In order to contribute to this cause, operatives are asked[ST:n ]to form into squads to take on special missions.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 40 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0032 |
These Squad Missions, as we call them, don't get posted to [ST:n ]Mission Control like your other, more typical assignments.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 41 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0033 |
Rather, HQ transmits the details[ST:n ]directly to all of us at the same time.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 42 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0034 |
Basically, they want as many people to know[ST:n ]about them ASAP, so they can be taken care of ASAP.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 43 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0035 |
I'm sure you can imagine, but these missions[ST:n ]aren't your run-of-the-mill little fetch quests.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 44 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0036 |
It's not the kind of stuff just one or two BLADEs[ST:n ]could handle on their own.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 45 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0037 |
That's why squads can have as many as 32 members.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 46 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0038 |
And it's why we ask members to sign up[ST:n ]to a squad beforehand.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 47 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0039 |
We can't have BLADEs playing musical chairs[ST:n ]whenever this kind of emergency hits us.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 48 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0040 |
But just remember:[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 49 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0041 |
Squad Missions are not mandatory. You don't have[ST:n ]to drop everything you're doing just to take one on.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 50 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0042 |
HQ has no way of knowing what every BLADE[ST:n ]is up to when these missions arise.[ST:page p1=150 ]If you're busy with something else, they'll understand.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 51 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0043 |
They need to trust our collective judgment[ST:n ]with these things, and...well, so far, so good.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 52 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0044 |
Aaand I think that about covers the basics, right?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 53 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0045 |
Search for the missing pieces of the Lifehold...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 54 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0045_2 |
Install data probes to expand FrontierNav...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 55 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0046 |
and take on Squad Missions when you can to keep us safe.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 56 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0047 |
Got all that?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 57 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0050 |
Nod |
| 58 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0051 |
Show you understand. |
| 59 |
|
xs03090100_JNK0060 |
Look Confused |
| 60 |
|
xs03090100_SEL0061 |
Show you're completely lost. |
| 61 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0048 |
Good. We're counting on you.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 62 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0049 |
Aaand briefing adjourned! Thank God.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 63 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0050 |
All right—we'll go over it as many times as it takes.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 64 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0051 |
All right, well, it's getting pretty late, isn't it?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 65 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0052 |
Yeah, let's call it a night.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 66 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0053 |
Oh, Tatsu so excited to sleep in real bed![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 67 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0054 |
Linly can show Tatsu to his room now.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 68 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0055 |
Oh, your room is right over there.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 69 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0056 |
Oh-ho! It look perfect size for Tatsu...[ST:n ]Wait! What?![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 70 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0057 |
Tatsu know what that is![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 71 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0058 |
That ruh-fridger-eater![ST:n ]Food go in there to cool off![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 72 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0059 |
Heh, I guess you ARE smarter than you look...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 73 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0060 |
Well, Tatsu not want to brag, but—[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 74 |
|
xs03090100_MSG0061 |
Wait a minute! Tatsu see what Linly did there.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
