Dialogue

• H.B.
  "Good morning to you, Cross. I'm pleased to see you awake and hard at work at this earliest of hours."
  "Were you just passing by?"
  "As you can see, I'm performing an inspection of the integrated production plant."
• Cross
  • Inquire: Clarify whether or not H.B. is a Mediator.
    • H.B.
      "I see you've learned nothing from our last encounter. And I grow weary of having to remind the likes of you!"
      "Once again, I am a Pathfinder. Path. Finder."
  • Praise: Commend H.B. for doing BLADE HQ's job.
    • H.B.
      "Truly, your powers of perception place you among BLADE's elite!"
• H.B.
  "I heard that since the xenoforms arrived here in NLA, the integrated production plant has been running at full capacity, day and night."
  "If any sort of trouble were to occur here, it would be a serious setback for BLADE, the civilians of New LA, and the xenoforms alike."
  "It's when you're at your busiest that you're most likely to miss the early signs of trouble, so I figured the plant could benefit from a third-party inspection."
  "And that is what brings me here today."
• Cross
  • Assure: Tell H.B. that the plant is in no immediate danger.
    • H.B.
      "I agree—I've found nothing of serious concern."
      "The plant is being run by professionals, and my fears appear to be wholly unfounded."
      "Outside of an abrupt 2,000 percent increase in pizza requests, the plant faces no significant challenges."
  • Cooperate: Ask H.B. if there's anything you can do to help. (+ ♥)
    • H.B.
      "I am grateful for your offer."
      "However, your assistance is not needed at this time. I fear this inspection has been a waste of my own considerable talents."
      "The plant is well-run, and the staff's most pressing problem is an abrupt 2,000 percent increase in pizza requests."
      "And by de-prioritizing lower-demand items, the staff has managed to increase their pizza production without significant disruptions."
• H.B.
  "Now if you'll excuse me, I must report my findings to HQ."
  "I am pleased to see you faring well, but do not let complacency be your undoing."
  "I hope we can work together again soon."
