I am currently looking into a solution for Neo Tokyo's unstable energy generation. It would be of great concern if the city were to suffer another power shortage while we're away on a mission. Incidentally beneficial to us, but it is not same as being able to take direct action to remedy the issue.

[ Anyone who is as enthusiastic about research as he is should have revealed themselves to him by now. The only conclusion he can make is that none of the Outsiders specialize in research, which isn't a surprise, given the reconnaissance and combat oriented missions they are assigned to, but it's a disappointment. Even though most of his colleagues back home weren't very competent, he has never acutely felt the lack of support until now. ]

My leadership qualities may be proven, but I do not officially command anyone. Even if I did, I do not wish to force individuals to work on assignments they have no interest or specialty in. That would be wholly unproductive.
