Too long. But that's better than going out there and getting hurt, or worse.

@Source

That’s true. But are you excited for the change of pace?

@Intrepid

Sort of, I guess? It's a little bit hard to feel excited when you only know that you should be excited. You know what I mean?

Hmm…
*Looks up as we walk*
I suppose the excitement isn’t there for the same reason. But in your shoes, I’d be filled with curiosity about why exactly you should feel that way… If that makes sense?

*In the breakroom, spoons a small pile of loose leaf tea into a ceramic mug glazed with the scene of small golf course, and fills the rest with hot water*
You know, that's a great way to look at it. And it's not like things aren't getting better.

That’s good! I would really hope so.

@Intrepid

Have you done any mission proposals yet?

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Have you done any mission proposals yet?

@Source

I haven’t. I’ve pretty much done just a lot of shadowing other people with a lot of the logistical stuff, but I don’t think I’ve done any mission proposals.

@Intrepid

Is there anything you really care a lot about?

Wow. That’s a loaded question.

@Intrepid

Heh, sorry.
*Sits at a wide, polished wood table and sips at my tea*
It’s really the point of all of this, you know.

I guess I really want to repair my family name. Do right by people, particularly people in the IA where it was soiled.

*A smile plays at the corner of my lips*
You really are one of us. Okay, how do you think you could best pull that off?

I’ve daydreamed in school a lot about playing superhero, like the Cerberus family or the Big X, but as idealistic as that seems, I don’t think another one of those is what people really need. Or want.
*Walks over and plucks a bottle if water from the fridge*
I guess… Fixing a lot of the corruption my dad left in the roots of the IA itself would be something that fits what is “needed or wanted”.

@Intrepid

From inside the political sphere?

@Source

I don’t even know how far reaching it was. I know there was that, but also some shady stuff in the private sector.

Where do you see yourself trying to fix things?

That’s a good question that I don’t know the answer to off hand…

We at least know where not to start. Which makes things harder, but that's okay—nobody has easy dreams.

*Chuckles*
If they were easy, I guess they’d already be done.

@Intrepid

You're exactly right. Would you want to make a difference politically? Or maybe help people some other way?
