I'm sorry, Summit.
I was out of it...
Why? Over a small thing like this? This isn't like you, Task Leader.
What is it?
Are you sure you can be a vanguard in this state?
It's my fault. I could've hurt Summit. There's no excuse for that.
No one's asking for an excuse. That doesn't matter. I just need you to remember what your duties are.
Go ahead, tell me. What are my duties?
Try. Slowing. Down.
You...
She's right, Task Leader. You're overstretched.
If this is everyone's consensus ... I'll concede.
We need a well-prepared and reliable Task Leader. We need you to be that.
Maintaining proper readiness is also part of the fight.
Endmin, thank you ... for just then. If I'd caused you any trouble, that would've completely defeated my purpose.
My thanks too, Endmin. That hit could've landed me in the hospital for at least two weeks.
Pale Blightshade!
What?!
Pale? Have we seen those kind of Blightshades before?
Æther activity spikes in the Exclusion Zone. Anything could happen.
This warrants a closer look. Endmin, we should move.
