AMALTHEA

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

While working on the assembly line, you notice a problem with a conveyer belt. You can either attempt to fix it, or leave it for the next shift.

[SIGHS, cracks knuckles]

Now this, I know I can do.

We can manage this.

I'll leave it to you then.

[Not going near anything else. Nnnope.]

[frowns]

We thought that with Leo and the dynamite, too.

I can help him out, if anything. I remember enough about the machinery of a vanship.

I don't think our real world skills really matter in this game. She's gonna do whatever it is she wants to do.

True, but we'll at least know what to aim for instead of just poking around which might be more dangerous.

She might treat it like you're just pokin' around at random.

[he has no faith in this Echo at all]

Then it's something we'll have to keep in mind, when the day comes that we can stop them from running these sort of games.

We did. You didn't. You advised against it, remember.

[Rolling up his sleeves]

Call it pride. Maybe stupidity. If I mess up, it's my responsibility.

. . .

[chuckles a bit]

Want me to stay on standby in case I need to make you an eye patch, too?

[Rolls his eyes, but nods, a wisp of a smirk on his face.]

Eyepatch, missing fingers, blown-out knee. Yeah, that sort of thing.

. . . dunno why you insist on riskin' your well being like that for somethin' you know will likely hurt you, but. . .

[handwave]

Be careful though. Maybe we can look at it together-- with Otacon, too. To make sure nothing goes wrong.

I definitely wouldn't mind the help.

Then, count on me!

...

[ Staring at that choice. ]

I really don't want to give the problem to somebody else, especially since it might get worse over time and come back to hurt us later.

And it might help us get a raise, too ... it doesn't look as complicated as a vanship.
