Jenny: --I got Maureen to wait for us, and about an hour or so into our 'adventure' we must have wandered into a red zone and soon after we were being followed by several hunters. We got ambushed--then we got lost in the business district--why am I telling you this, I imagine Dan will have all this and more in his report.
Arthur: I'd rather hear it from you first-hand. You are the captain. [He shifts in his seat and sighs] So, you allowed your team-mates to do this, go out in an un-explored sector, to steal?
Jenny: Uhhh, actually, that was my idea...sir. Dan said no, but I kind of just took off...
Arthur: You are aware that taking objects from the wastes into ARC without the proper quarantines is strictly forbidden. It's dangerous, it's stealing, and it's punishable by law. You are a captain now, Jenny. You should know this. You MUST know this.
[Jenny Frowns]
Arthur: You don't have the proper clearances for salvage removal. That's Quarantines job.
Jenny: [rolls her eyes and mutters] But they take all the good stuff...
Arthur: [raises his voice and has his hands on the desk and he's leaning over towards Jenny] We wasted precious military resources and time! We--I bent the rules to continue searching for you and your crew! This is not the kind of profession where you can go off and fool around. You put your entire team in jeopardy! You're very lucky that Charlie was there. McWilliams is alive thanks to him. At least the Half-Life project seems to have been worth it.
[Jenny is looking away ]
You and your friends have lived out in the wastes since the beginning of the outbreak alone, longer then any other team here has.
Jenny, you should be embarrassed.
