I'm not sure if he does need a partner. He seems pretty interested in being headstrong and independent. But either way, I can deal with that.
I've got lots of people with skills that match up with his.
Your skills are rare, among the Augmented. Finish up your current outing with Eli, then switch to this project.
Food programs, gathering and distribution, like Palamedes said. I want you to work with him. He's got some other projects that are distracting him, too, so I'd actually like you to take a bit more of the lead on this and let him support you with his bureaucratic skill.
Definitely don't damage your trust in the lower income areas. You ask really smart questions and have good ideas, Tifa. Trust yourself and take charge of this project in whatever way you think is smartest. Let me know what additional support the two of you need, and keep me updated. [ From what he's seen so far, Tifa is a good person to have in charge, but her fatal flaw is that she too easily lets other people sabotage her good ideas. Therefore, hopefully, she just needs some encouragement to stay in charge, and Gojo will do his best to keep tabs on her project solely for that purpose. He can easily act as a manager for the purpose of enabling her to do her best. ]
That's what I mean. I think he needs someone to keep an eye on him, point him in the right direction.
He might be happier with more of a strike team though, I agree. I'll let you know how this mission goes and what I'm feeling, but I'll get in touch with Palamedes.
I will do my best, but I'm just a gal from the slums. I really appreciate you believe in me, I just don't want to set the expectations too high.
I'll loop back after we talk. But -- thanks for caring about this. I do want to help as many people as we can.
At the moment there isn't a strike team. None of the teams are strike teams because at the moment there hasn't been anything to fight other than a bare handful of sad humanoid mutations in the swamps and a bunch more unnerving but harmless animal mutations near the cenote.
We shouldn't need the same connection and communication on the bridge as we did in the swamps. Theoretically less likelihood of someone dying from being sucked down into a bog.
The vanguard team is meant to be scouting fast but not looking closely. I want a team scouting more thoroughly in case there are hostile mutations living out there on that bridge. If there's anything horrible lurking on that bridge, I would now very earnestly prefer that Eli be the one to find it.
But I'm kind of expecting that there won't be anything more horrible than the sad humanoid mutations. In which case you're more valuable feeding people, and he's more valuable on a strike team. Once I have one of those. I have assured him that I will let him know first if I find anything that needs to be struck.
Sorry. I wasn't meaning to question your leadership. Where I just came from, everything was a strike team. I've lost people, so I just worry.
I guess I should be upfront that I'm also a really skilled monster hunter and strike team member, but, yeah. I'd rather be helping people than hurting things.
I hope you're right on the mutations. It was sad constantly having to fight fucked up corrupted creatures, and worse having to fight people.
Don't worry about it. I really consider myself more of a coordinator than a leader here. I don't want authority, and my goal is generally just to make sure that information and resources end up where they're most needed.
Yeah, I'm also a skilled monster hunter. I think a bunch of the Augmented are, actually. So it's frustrating and a little concerning that there haven't been things for us to fight aside from the mutations. I keep waiting for some real threat to show up.
Honestly, having a good coordinator who doesn't have an ego about leading can really make or break a team. I'm really glad we have you. And I'm grateful you're thinking about the real things we can do in the city.
...Yeah. That's concerning. Maybe it's just that we were strong enough to withstand being Augmented? They don't seem to want us to fight each other at least.
[ Does he leave her to believe that charming delusion? Hmmm. No. How is she imagining him, as some humble, ordinary, nice guy? Absolutely unacceptable. ]
i have an ego the size of a large planet. i am a god-thing. my ego is far too vast to be shaken by people asking well-intentioned questions or needing clarification.
anyway, they did match some of us for cage fights when i first arrived here, though we were all depowered at the time, so it was limited to our augmented abilities.
