Morir's the main one. But I'll admit calling Greens bait and stating that Reds won't be taking on that job isn't quite what I call confidence-inspiring.
Maybe. But it's a good plan. It's the kind we'd have tried at home. It dangerous, but anything we do will be dangerous. And at least this way, if we're able to draw it out, there'll be others waiting to attack.
Yeah, it's a good idea. Should pay off. Just don't want to add to the danger by people treating Greens like we're expendable simply because of our purpose.

I don't want to lose a single Leapfrog. Prefer not to lose anyone at all. Really don't wanna lose them because someone's playing fast and loose with our lives.
I know. I don't either. And I definitely don't trust Carla Morir.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
But it's not just her plan, and I do trust Jack. He'll act like he doesn't care, but he'd not leave a man behind unless he had no choice at all. He won't play fast and loose.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Nor would the other man, Barnaby. I don't think either of them are as callous as they made that sound.
Which is why I'm just asking you to keep an eye out and not suggesting Greens not do this. It's a good idea, good plan, and we can spare the volunteers.

Let me know if something comes up where you need backup and I'll bring the troops.
This situation is awful all around. But I'd rather be working together than not. It'd be easier if we knew what we were dealing with, but really? I'm a Musketeer, Garrus.

It's not the first time I've had to find out as I go along.
The war back home. It's all been about twists and learning more of what we're up against. They're invaders in our galaxy, the enemy, and they know us. We don't really know them.

Don't like it, I'll deal. You don't always have to like a situation to work it out. Hell, rarely do you have to work in a situation you like. It's the way serving goes.
We haven't yet. Still working on that. Wasn't exactly happy to be pulled here from that, but I'll make it work. Not about to waste the time I'll be spending here.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And we'll figure out what's going on here. We've got a team, a unit, and a co-leader. Should be enough heads put together. Just don't lose yours being the bait.

The Greens that are volunteering as bait. You'll keep an eye on them? I'll shift patrols to accommodate for them trapping instead, so that's fine.

But some of the reds don't seem to really care about the lives of our team. I'd like to make sure someone's watching while playing bait.

I will. For what it's worth, if you mean Jack Benjamin, he's not as bad as he makes himself sound. He cares more than he pretends.

Carla Morir doesn't. But I can handle her. I'll watch after our people.

Sorry. Didn't mean to suggest you would. On edge, but that's not an excuse. Good luck hunting.

I don't blame you. It's been a long day and it's not over yet.

I know what you mean. On Ajna, I never would have thought I'd be where I am now.

Same. In so many ways, same.

Do you dislike it? Leading them, like this.

No. Just wish I had more of a picture as to what I was leading them into. You?
no subject
I know what I'm leading them into. Destroying world upon world, just like we did with Ajna.

I'm not doing it because I like it.

Meant more this situation, specifically. But there's that, too.

At least we can support them. Be there. This isn't something that people should deal with alone.

You sound like Athos. I'll be fine. If this works, we'll have less to worry about, anyway.
no subject
I'll take that as a positive. And I'll plan on it working, too. I'll look forward to hearing what happened, after.
no subject
I'll let you know. Don't worry too much, Garrus. I've got it under control.
