“Let me put it this way.” Elisa finally spoke. “Jack has either been screwed over by past employers as the MRBC as badly as I was, or he’s tailored a story to suit my needs and ingratiate himself to me in order to give him a way into the unit. Either way, I’m going to do a bit of digging when I get back to Outreach.” That warranted a shrug. “Don’t mention I said that, by the way. I don’t want to appear to be paranoid or undermining a new team member in front of everyone, especially if I’m wrong.”<br/><br/>“On the other matter, I’m happy to go with whatever decisions you feel are best for the team at this point. It’s not like I have much room to argue, all things being equal.” She nodded to Erich. “I’d, ah, like to review the battleROMs from the operation and see what happened there and the like, see what we can learn from the mess and such.”<em>And to see if I could have done anything, but that looks more and more like it would have been a negative anyway.</em><br/><br/>She nodded to Ranna as the other woman approached. “Hey there. I was just talking with Erich about what happened planetside. A part of me’s glad I missed it, but at the same time, I wish I could have done more to help y’all out.” That gave a small smile of encouragement. “So anything I can help you with?”<br/>
