So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

I think it could say one of two things. Maybe it's that you want to help, despite the risk it poses to yourself. If you find yourself doing it to protect others, or even just to help them, then that could be it.

The other option is that you do it for adventure. If you're not exactly satisfied with where your life is right now, or maybe if your past life went on a lot of similar dangerous adventures, then maybe it's that that drives you.

Of course, those are just the answers I've come to for myself, so it could be something entirely different!

Hmmmm I can't really say I'm one for adventure, in either of my lives. But protecting/helping others, yeah, that's pretty consistent. That is why I went into the profession I did.

And my past life did take a bullet for someone. So. Yeah.

Try not to repeat that one in this life!

I do think it's nice that you want to help others, and being unable to turn away even from dangerous situations is a good thing! I can understand how it's frustrating to keep winding up in situations like that, but I think it's good that you're so willing to help.

I suppose that's true. I guess I just don't like sitting by if I can find some way of helping.

And believe me, I have absolutely no intention of copying him in that regard.

I'm glad to hear it! I think it's good of you to keep helping, but do try to mind your limits as well!

I'm trying. Really. But it's hard when we don't always know what we're walking into.
