Garsin eyed Kristof for a moment. Having a pacifist on a team send to deal with these creatures could be a problem. "I suppose I'm weak then, because when something chooses that it wants to kill anything it sees, I don't see a problem with killing it to protect those it endangers," he replied coldly, partially at Kristof but more at the idea of the forth dimensional creatures. He knew Kristof's strength could come in handy on the field outside of a fight, but him not wanting to fight puts strain on an already small team and possible lives in danger.

Garsin nodded as he thought about Naoto's plea for his family to be here as well. "Unfortunately, I don't have a say in that. It's up for the Bossman to decide. I'll have to warn you though, there are a lot of people here who miss their family," he replied sympathetically. The question made him a bit uncomfortable. It made him think back of his own family. He promptly pulled out his pipe from his medical pouch (of all things) and started preparing it.

 While stuffing the pipe with tobacco he walked over to the wall to a small control panel. He punched a couple buttons and soon some virtual practice dummies popped up at the other end of the training room, with one closer for Kristof. There was one dummy for each of them. "Alright," Garsin called out to the group while lighting and starting his pipe, "Today, I just want you to get used to your gear. We should have a small job to do here soon so I want y'all practicing while we wait to get word as to what it is. I'll assign team roles after the mission." He sat down on a bench next to the door and started taking off the weights connected to his armor. He was careful this time to set them down himself instead of letting them fall and damage the floor. He then radioed Fukui again, "Hey any word on that gear for Kurano, Doc?"
