Right, question.

Actually two.



First: Imagine you're being chased for a long time. You're unarmed, and yer injured. About to keel over. You can only carry one thing as you're running: a cell phone [a pause, and a rustle - he's waving his hand] or whatever you people use to communicate; or some food.

Which one do you take, and why?



Second question: who here can deal with high tech gadgets? I got a thing that needs checking before we head to the next mission.

[That makes him utter a loud laugh.

Single, dry, ragged but very, very strong.

The shades, the blade that can cut through anything, the tactics, the tech guy running operations behind him. ] Close, but no cigar.

If I didn't trust technology I would've either been dead by now or not reached where I am today.

[reillumination]

Fine, so you trust technology. It did well for you. [ If there is one thing Ryo hates, it's being laughed at. ] You didn't say it was an equally practical option. I'm only working with what I'm given, just like you.

[ Ugh. ]

[Wow, he never heard Siri dictate something so defensively before.

Btw, Ryo, that rhythmic static? It's back, leaving the washing machine behind.]

That's the thing, right? I only placed the options here, it's equally telling which one you subconsciously place more value into.

[And there's the sound of the door of a room opening.] The only reason I trust technology is that of some circumstances where I have to. However, that doesn't really mean I'm entirely useless without it.
