Dialogue

艾尔玛
"……"
"Oh, hello, Cross."
"Sorry about that. I was just lost in thought."
"Or maybe it's more accurate to say that I was getting a bit sentimental."
"When exactly did this place become my home? When did I grow to love it so?"
"So many unexpected things have happened, you know?"
"And yet, humanity has begun to lay down roots on this planet in spite of it all."
"I don't know. Maybe that's why I feel like my perceptions have changed a little."
"When I finish a mission and 返回BLADE HOME, it really feels like I'm coming home."
Cross
- Agree: Tell 艾尔玛 you feel the same way.
  - 艾尔玛
    "It makes me 高兴 to hear that."
- Disagree: Say you don't feel that way at all.
  - 艾尔玛
    "Interesting. Is that because you miss your home back on Earth?"
    "Or am I the strange one for getting sentimental over what amounts to a simple military housing facility?"
    "…No, that's not fair. They're more than that."
艾尔玛
"Did you know that our floor is unique within the BLADE HOME?"
"Our quarters are larger than those of the 其它 teams, and also come with the biggest kitchen."
"I've been blessed to be able to share them only with people I trust completely."
"凪 and 凡达姆 even allowed me to bring 琳 and 塔兹 in here, despite her age and his… Well, him."
"It was good of them to make all that happen."
Cross
- Speculate: Assume that it's due to her rank as a 大佐.
  - 艾尔玛
    "Hah. No, I'm afraid that's not it."
    "BLADE has no ranks—not in a practical kind of way, I mean. The only people who really care that I'm a 大佐 are 伊莉娜 and 古因."
    "Think about it—would you and 琳 really want to live under the same roof as someone you had to address as "colonel" all the time?"
    "No, rank means nothing here."
    "Anyway, if we have another opportunity someday, I might tell you more about it. …And about me."
    "But for now, we should drop it. I know you're busy enough without me taking up all your time."
    (END)
- Inquire: Ask why 艾尔玛 was given such special treatment.
  - Before Chapter 12:
    - 艾尔玛
      "That's actually a bit…tricky."
      "Perhaps once we've secured the 生命舱核心, I can take the time to do the explanation justice."
      "Besides, this is no time to reminisce about the past."
      "I know you have 任务 of your own to pursue."
      "Now let's both get out there and do our best."
      (END)
  - After Chapter 12:
    - 艾尔玛
      "I assume you know why I get "special treatment" now."
      "It's because my true nature has to be concealed from the 将军 public."
      "True, I'm using a mimeosome like everyone else, so the odds of my being discovered are quite low."
      "However, my knowledge of Earth culture and customs isn't exactly...flawless."
      "While my appearance is unlikely to betray me, my lack of knowledge and experience very well could."
      "That's why I was allowed to form a team composed only of those I trusted."
      "Not to say I don't trust Irina—I just knew her talents could be put to better use elsewhere."
      "Well, that's enough about me. We should get going."
      "After all, we've both got a great deal to accomplish for the good of New LA."
      (END)
