Never Give Up Hope
Malachi: We've finished unpacking the equipment for the lab.
Malachi: They are setting things up down below right now.
Malachi: We'll be able to re-activate Virulyde soon.
Malachi: Listen... we're all still dealing with what happened but...
Malachi: It's been six weeks and HQ is getting anxious.
Malachi: We have to be prepared both mentally and physically for the next mission.
Malachi: Saja, we've all noticed that you haven't been sleeping much or hardly eating anything.
Saja: Malachi, pay it no mind.
Malachi: I mean, we're a team and all, you know --
Malachi: Commander... please. You have to try to pull yourself together.
Malachi: I'm... I'm going below to see if I can help with the lab.
Ravenna: I know we're about to start another mission.
Saja: ...yes, but for what purpose, I wonder...?
Ravenna: To find a V-CORE copy, right?
Ravenna: Look, this isn't all set in stone. What if we can go back in time and...?
Saja: ...and what if we can't? What if it doesn't work? We've been making assumptions!
Ravenna: I know it's a long shot but we just can't give up hope!
Saja: Hope? Ravenna, do you know what it's like to defend something with your life, only to lose it?!
Saja: Do you...? I know you've had a hard time being separated from the life you knew. I get that.
Saja: Still... have you seen it all taken away right before your eyes?
Ravenna: Yes. As a matter of fact, I lost my mother at a very young age.
Ravenna: I watched my uncle driven insane and my father nearly succumbed to the same madness.
Ravenna: Kids at school telling me my father was responsible for splitting families apart for the migration.
Ravenna: Getting hateful messages every day telling me to die.
Ravenna: Seeing dozens of city blocks flattened after my uncle killed six thousand people in a suicide bombing!!!
Ravenna: Having to see that carnage every day on my way home from school, no less...
Ravenna: So you're damn right I've dealt with tragedy.
Ravenna: But I know something. I was brought here through time travel.
Ravenna: We know such a thing exists and we might be able to use it.
Ravenna: None of this is set in stone, Saja. If we get aboard the Morgan's Gate or find a V-CORE...
Ravenna: We can go back in time and prevent what happened. If there's one thing I learned since coming here...
Ravenna: It's to never give up hope.
