Charging In

## Dialogue

* **Irina**
*"Hey, Cross."*
*"My Skell took a pretty serious beating during my last Interceptor mission."*
*"And now I gotta sit here and pretend to listen while this mechanic lectures me about it."*
*"That's the way we fight, though. We don't plan for things to go off the rails like that—they just do."*
* **Cross**
	+ *Criticize*: *Suggest that Irina's aggressiveness may be working against her sometimes.*
		- **Irina**
		*"When you need to protect someone of acquire something important, there isn't always time for finesse."*
		*"I'm just doing what needs to be done to complete the mission."*
		*"I'd never forgive myself if someone got hurt because I was sitting back and calculating the most efficient way to kill a dangerous enemy."*
	+ *Encourage*: *Tell Irina that there is nothing wrong with the way she fights.*
		- **Irina***"I appreciate that, but I'm fine. Really."*
		*"Outside of the colonel chewing me out personally, nothing will get me to change my tactics."*
		*"If experience has taught me anything, it's that it's better to go too far than risk not going far enough."*
* **Irina**
*"I can't imagine you've come this far without being in the same situation yourself."*
* **Cross**
	+ *Agree*: *Say that you have had cause to regret past inaction.*
		- **Irina**
		*"I imagine everyone's had that experience at least once."*
		*"I'm no exception, even though it was a long time ago."*
		*"That's when I decided I never wanted to feel that way again."*
		*"Sure, I have moments of indecision, but that's when I just summon up my courage and take action!"*
		*"Even when it looks hopeless, I remind myself that I'm doing it for the team, and my courage never wavers."*
		*"No one will ever die again because I faltered."*
		*"Ah, well. I suppose we should cut this short, huh? I'm supposed to be getting chewed out here."*
		*"I'm looking forward to our next mission together. I need your support for my reckless ways! Ha!"*
		(END)
	+ *Disagree*: *Tell Irina that you live a life free of regret.*
		- **Irina**
		*"It must be nice to lead a life of such utter confidence."*
		*"I don't think I could ever be so shameless."*
		*"But there's no denying that you've accomplished great things as a BLADE, and even earned the respect of the colonel herself."*
		*"The next time we go on a mission together, I want to watch this philosophy of yours in action."*
		*"Maybe emulating your methods will allow me to complete my missions without causing worry for everyone around this joint."*
		*"I look forward to your lesson, professor!"*
		(END)
	+ *Warn*: *Say that rash action can just as easily lead to regret.*
		- **Irina**
		*"That's fair."*
		*"Actions taken with the best intentions sometimes have unexpected consequences."*
		*"But no one can predict what action will lead to which consequence."*
		*"You just have to accept that it won't always work out like you hope."*
		*"If you ask me, all that really matters is whether you made the best choice possible for yourself and the people you care about."*
		*"Maybe you'll still regret the outcome, but if you know you gave it everything you had, it softens the blow."*
		*"That's the way I live my life."*
		*"So yeah, when it comes to protecting my friends, maybe I do go a little over the top sometimes."*
		*"I'll understand if you feel differently, but I have things in my life I don't intend to lose."*
		(END)
