You meet Crowe and Ardelia.

What about Dean and Clavell?

They ... started arguing first. People got them to cool off before moving on with their jobs.

I knew it.

The two boys learned nothing from their experiences and made a fool of themselves. They deserve it.

Nevertheless, we should try to fix the problems with our surveillance unit.

Don't worry, Supervisor. If the sitch gets out of control, I'll step in and get it fixed. But now, I don't intend to interfere or help them out of their mess.

So you actually know how to get everything done! Then ... why would you just sit around and let them mess things up?

I actually want to let them achieve spectacular success on their own! But look at 'em! Can they pull it off?

My generation was built different. Some of us got back from the frontlines to work floors that had no materials. We ended up making our own equipment by taking parts off the lathe.

This generation has a serious problem. They bicker and complain. They don't know how to work as a team. Worse, they strut around with a sense of useless pride.

Hrrrmph. I would have taken care of this on my own if I were younger. I wouldn't even need two inept fools of apprentices to take care of this job.

The way you said that really sounds like a Shifu we had in Tanjian Hall...

Hmph. But ... they'll be running Valley IV one day.

This disaster really changed me as well...

Young people like you will be running the show. We even changed the Utjug Order. No matter how hard we try, I guess it's time to pass on the baton.

The apprentices may have plenty of issues, but they are gifted in their own right.

That said, they must learn to solve problems on their own. If another disaster like the last one strikes again, they'll have no one to count on.

Ah, what I meant by young people doesn't include you, Endmin. You're a legend...

However, the UWST needs promising youths to shoulder the burden of the United Syndicates.

I hope they will appreciate all the work you've put in for them.

Them? Appreciate my work? Well, just sit around. They'll be crying for help soon enough.

They neglected too many details. The first activation of the probe will involve a certain degree of danger... But I didn't remind them this time.

Aren't you worried about accidents?

Don't worry. I won't risk this if human safety is involved. Since the Endmin is with us, we can afford to wait before giving them help. Let them have a taste of their mistakes and learn from it.

Fine... I understand what you're trying to do.
