[laughs] I would lead the mission, hopefully earning me a spot in an MTF squad with my sick field skills.

Using the information presented in the dossier, I was to build a containment device for the entity.

Unsanctioned? Sure, but fine science and craftsmanship.

Perhaps fine enough to be assigned my own research project.

Ugh.

If you give me this chance, I swear I will work every day to be a man worthy of your grandeur.

I, I may not have all the recipes, but I have love a- and determination, and I wanna share them with you.

So, what do you say? Will you be my man, Chef? Is that a yes? [screech]

I understand.

Um, [laughs] um, um, uh, no, Rodney, that's, that's okay.

I, um, I appreciate you telling me, and yeah, we can still be friends.

[laughs]

[laughs] Close one.

[laughs] Wow, what a mess.

[laughs] [sighs]

Huh?

I did it.

Uh, Staffer Dr. Homewood gave me a special retrieval assignment, and I did it.

I got the plant.

Awesome.

I know.

I, I, I can't believe it.

A- anyway, she sent me to get you for another experiment, so come on.

Yeah.

Any hoodles, I have been on a real protein kick, and kids, I feel better, you know? And not that I was feeling bad-

I mean, salt is a mineral and celery is, uh, inedible, so I think you're safe.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs] Okay.

Hey, good to see you.

If you guys wanna come over tonight, I am making a little something special.

It's a Mexican tuna fusion.
