That was a typical Karra question, one that showed her own way of judging her decision, but one that showed too that she had the wrong perspective.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"I answer your question in two ways, Karra. One way as you like it to be answered and one way as you should have posed he question. You risk that some people who think high of you, who love you and who need you will have to suffer for the rest of their lives. Namely me and Tania. You risk too that some people who think that your life should be safed risk their own lives too to haul your sorry ass in. And you risk that your entire team get worked up because of you, as your power is suddenly missing. That's what you risk with your permanent 'but I need to prove my worth' attitude."</span><br/><br/>Tom had not sugarcoated his answer as he knew that getting to Karra was only possible with the unmasked truth. Because everything else she would simply dissect into its components, discard the ones she disliked and keep those she liked. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"But your question was the wrong one, Karra. It is not about HOW MUCH YOU RISK. It is about IS THE RISK WORTH IT. A good soldier knows that taking a risk should only be done when there is a high upside or no other choice. When you are down, you are down. There is no way back. A risk is always a dance on the edge and people tend to believe in their invincibility once they managed to dance two or three times with success. But that is as silly to believe as that there is nobody out there who is better than you. A dead soldier can't change the game. A living one can. You want to prove everyone that you are a good soldier and worth as much as any other, by taking risks. Kind of 'hey look how brave I am'. But all you achieve with it is that everybody worries about you and starts to believe that you are just some mindless daredevil. And the silly thing is that you don't need to take the risk. We all know that you are a good soldier and worth as much as us. If you would stop to play hazardous and start to use the brain you have and play it safe you would be even better."</span></div>
