After viewing the Blight Tide data, you and Zhuang quickly come up with a way to improve the Xiranite Nexus.

Are you ... trying to say something?

Discussed?

Hardworking, helpful, and diligent. You must be popular.

...Analysis of the data looks rather promising.

A little bold ... but worth a try... This solution will further reduce Xiranite consumption!

Mi Fu ... did you see something that won't work?

No. I don't know science.

Gotta work on something. I'll leave you two to your wild brainstorming.

Nothing... Just thinking about the past, how the Science Station people used to discuss questions. Like what we're doing now...

Yes... Every idea was bolder than the last. We got more intense with every discussion.

When I first heard their argument, I thought they were fighting.

No. I was young when I joined the Science Station. It wasn't my place to talk.

But, listening in the discussions taught me a lot. I learned a great deal as I sorted files for my peers.

They didn't simply like me. They took care of me.

Perhaps I was.

Now that we have a working idea, why don't we use the Xiranite Nexus for a field test?

The test is risky. Let me think... Qijian Dais is an islet outside the city. It's pretty much empty. What do you say?

It's just the first time I saw someone keeping pace with you. People once told me your ideas are too wild and impossible.

Oh, nobody told me that before...

No need to overthink it. It's great we got someone who thinks like you for once.
