DAY 102
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
hey
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
you been doing ok?
no subject
Nearly out of ammo. Little concerned about that. Otherwise, sure.
[Fake it til you make it. He's not about to stress Reiner out over this.]
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Got the message. Does this mean we don't have to walk anywhere anymore, that we'll just get to climb on your shoulders and go wherever?
no subject
yeah
i've got some i can give you
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
you're a better shot than me
[He's relieved that Garrus doesn't seem resentful...]
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
maybe. i get tired pretty quick but i guess i'll just have to run fast
no subject
Being in your cell's already paying off.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Maybe you should train your stamina in that form. Not just for running. It was damn handy against the kraken. ...Though I'm gonna guess there's politics involved in this.
[It's easier to pretend he's just talking to Reiner, that it's not cell lead checking up on underlings. Garrus will adapt, but he needs a little time to get his head straight.]
no subject
Not when he has people depending on him.]
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
i don't want to antagonize people needlessly [That should speak for itself.]
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
are you busy?
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I'm not. I'm on a blanket messing with attempts at crossbow bolts, a little south of camp.
no subject
okay. do you mind if we all meet up? the rest of the cell i mean. it may not be now, but i want us to get to know each other
no subject
Not at all. It's a good idea to all get together. And I do know everyone in the cell already, if you need details on any of the other three.
no subject
oh, really?
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
if you don't mind, can you tell me your opinion on them?
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
you know besides what's in the file
no subject
Don't mind at all. Hinata's the one I know the least, but he's on the younger side. During the fiasco on the Neheda, Orange team members were looking for him to be protected.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Xion's strength and weakness is in how much she cares. Trust her with a task, and she'll give her all.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Korra's a powerhouse when she's focused. She can move rocks and water, do things with fire, and has a good head on her shoulders.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
We get a mission to protect or save someone, you'll have a solid group. We get a genocide mission, you and I are gonna be carrying all three. Possibly literally.
no subject
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
i see. it's good to know that. a group's only as strong as its weaknesses right?
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
if it does come down to that though....
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
i trust you.
no subject
Gonna be clear that compassion isn't a weakness. But it's something to be aware of in the context of the missions we take on. Ajna's end wasn't pretty. I figure you remember that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I'll trust you too.
no subject
normally i'd agree with you. but here it might be
[If they hesitate, people might die. Their people. However, Reiner isn't about to try and stamp that compassion out of his unit. If they don't have to be like him or Garrus, that's best.]
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
hopefully it won't come down to that. we can be the ones defending others, watching their backs
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
yeah i remember. the shai.
no subject
How can someone really fulfill Green goals, really protect, without compassion?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
It has to have focus and limits, but it has to be there. There's compassion even in your reply, that we can defend others and watch their backs.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
In itself it isn't a weakness.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
But for the people without limits, what I figure is coming up for Green - killing the neraki as we did the shai - will be hard.
no subject
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
yeah.
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
but i have experience. i can try to help them through it, when we have orders to take them out.
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You wanna talk about that? Because I gotta say I'm curious, with the pieces I've heard and then seeing you change. Your file doesn't mention anything like that.
no subject
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
if I do i'm worried you won't trust me anymore
no subject
I think I've got a measure of you. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. But it could help on the field to know, by the sound of it.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Your call, Reiner.
no subject
i tried to wipe out humanity. i got thousands of people killed.
no subject
Why?
no subject
to go home
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
it's more complicated, but that's the gist
no subject
I'd like the complicated bits. We could meet up in person, so you don't have to distill them down to tiny fragments.
no subject
i can't tell you a lot
FROM: braun.reiner@cdc.org
but ok
no subject
I'm just south of the camp. Your cuff'll be able to find me. Come by, let's talk.
--> action
Maybe this was a bad idea. No, he knows it is.]
