[A long sigh]

...I'll try. If we -an even just g-get on better terms, it'll be easier for everyone and I c-can stop avoiding him at base, whi-sh would be nice. I don't enjoy things being li-e this, I don't want this t-to be something always hanging over us and, G-God forbid, I don't ever want Si-g-gma to feel li-e he has to -oose between the two of us. So if he's willing to try and someone's there to k-keep things -alm, I'll try.

Thank you. That means a lot to me, and it will mean more to Sigma. Besides, it is probably a good idea to connect with the guy that is going to work to protect you. Save you. Heal you.

depthlesslock

That's one of the reasons I didn't c-cut him off after the first time, he's meant to be a t-teammate. But I won't -o on missions with him yet. Not until I know I -an trust him.

From:

protective_logic

Which makes getting to know him even more important.

May I ask about Tex?

From:

depthlesslock

Yeah, I know. When do you want to do this thing?

There was an... incident. Between us. A while ago.

From:

protective_logic

Tell me about it first, so I can understand this Texas thing.

From:

depthlesslock

It's... not something I tal-k-k about easily.

From:

protective_logic

I can't help with what I don't understand.

From:

depthlesslock

...Fine. But I'll probably need a breather afterwards.

We have this thing called the CMC. It stands for Centralized Mission C-Control and it basi-ally lets us know who's ta-ing what jobs with who so we don't c-clash. Te-k-s and I are the reason that system is so stri-c-ct.

Almost two years ag-go, I took-k a job to break-k into... into Enc-cost. It shouldn't have been all that hard: in, g-get what I needed, out. But... I don't know e-sa-tly what happened, but my theory is that my employer was too loud on what he was planning. Te-k-s was employed by En-c-cost around the same t-time since they were worried something li-e this was g-going t-to happen and she heard they were g-going to be bro-en into, she let them know and helped set the trap whi-sh, when I tried to g-get into their c-computer systems, literally blew up in my face.

[A long pause, punctuated by deep, slightly shaky breaths]

I... I lost my eye be-ause of your sister, Delta. And the funny thing is that I don't really blame her. She was only d-doing what she'd been paid t-to do, just li-e I was. I c-can't hold that ag-gainst her, but st-til some part of me does and I've been trying to g-get past that but... so far I haven't been able to.

From:

protective_logic

I'm... I'm so sorry.

From:

depthlesslock

Understand now?

...That sounded harsh, I didn't mean t-to sound harsh. Sorry. I was genuinely as-ing. Jus- in -ase you d-didn't... I-I'm -onna shut-t up now.

From:

protective_logic

I understand. And as painful as it must be to hear, steps must be made there. Or we must try. She's important to him.

From:

depthlesslock

A-tually not as painful as you might thin-. I've sort of been wanting to ma-e things better between us, I just haven't been brave enough t-to do it. Re-ardless of Si-ma, she's my t-teammate.
