Heidi stood unmoving for a while, then folded her arms. "Honestly," she started, "We weren't ready to deal with anything like that. You tried to get everyone rallied together even though they weren't the best listeners, and if you were able to handle all that power, I calculated that your plan would have worked. I put trust in you that it would work, but...I was afraid of taking any kind of responsibility. If people got hurt because they followed one of my plans thinking they must be flawless because I'm a genius...most plans I make on the field have so many variables that they have a 25% chance of actually working at best, and that's just good enough. Shawn, I think they put yo in charge of the team when they have a human supercomputer in the same team for a very simple reason; You step up. You make an effort to unify us and you're not afraid to do so. Honestly, you're a far better leader than I ever could be. I'm not even sure how I could help besides number crunch for you or something."

It suddenly occurred to her that she'd said quite a lot of words. She was usually very bad at conversations, but this time it was easy. The words she wanted needed forming into sentences and polishing before they left her mouth but they were all already there; exactly what she wanted to say from the heart.
