Is that so? It was an assumption on my part, since you had risen through the ranks so quickly. I must say, I'm rather disappointed that our executives don't take kindly to criticism. That's extremely counterproductive.

[And what's this now? A proposal? Dist is kind of surprised that Kimblee's offering such a thing considering how badly he messed up with that mission. Well, if Kato was on board...]

Not at all. I don't see why I shouldn't hear you out. Regarding what, if you are able to give me even that much for the time being?
