=== Briefing ===
Agent Hale:
:It has come to my attention that you are actively working to repair the water harvesters. As much as I can appreciate the Colonel's noble intentions, I feel that I must interject an alternate scenario.
:Since the Bane obviously want to capture Maji Field and harvest the water themselves, our time might be better suited towards taking advantage of the situation. We know what the enemy wants, and let's be frank; regardless of the Colonel's command skill, it is impossible for him or his soldiers to permanently hold this location. If we repair the harvesters, we will be doing the Bane a favor, providing them with a fresh source of water on Arieki.
:The logical solution would be to sabotage the harvesters. Using the data you have already collected, we can replace the existing filtration system with one that will inject poison into the water supply. Then we can save our manpower, pull back from this location, and let the Thrax drink all they want. This will deliver a blow to the Thrax here in Ashen Desert, and the Colonel can focus on attacking the Bane Conscription facility.
:The Colonel is aware of my presence, and knows of my plan, but the choice is ultimately yours. Just try to think of the big picture.

Agent Hale:
:It has been a pleasure.
