Dr. Marcela. It's good to see you again.

Priest. Everyone.

I hope your meeting with us means you've read the documents the Ionian Navy sent.

I have read Ion's suggested plan for retaking the Fire Nexus, yes.

And your opinion?

I think it sounds like a good plan, but I am a medical doctor, not a military tactician.

My ability to evaluate this sort of thing is limited.

I can assure you that Ion's tactical forecasters are some of the best in the world. This plan carries with it the highest chance of success, with minimal casualties.

I'm sure you can, and you'd be very excited to, Priest.

But I can't go on the mission. I have something much too important to leave behind here I have to deal with.

Miss Tintine, you've acted as the bearer of the jewel before, I'd like to ask you to please do it again.

You are all much better fighters than I am, and I grant you whatever formalities I must to make it so. You're better trained in its use than I am, regardless.

You really sure?

It's not that I don't mind doin' it, it's just, what's more important than reclaiming the Nexus?

That's why I asked you all to come here, instead of just bringing you the jewel myself. I have extremely important news, and something I must give you here.

We've finally developed a vaccine against the choke.
