i barely survived five minutes.

I had to make sure that my aim wasn't so bad you'd laugh me out of the VR room.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
I have a surprising amount of free time lately.

Everyone's a beginner at some point. I won't laugh.
[ He can be relied upon to be serious in training, as it happens. It's one of the few times he can actually assure that. ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I doubt the free time will last. If you like we can make a standing appointment, until such time as we're called on for other duties.

just three. probably gonna try again another day but not right now.
[ trying to get him to kill barnaby is like telling him to stop breathing right there and then. it's not going to happen in a day. ]
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
I'll have you know that I've been training since the Ajna rendezvous. Don't make me reconsider my request.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
That sounds like a good idea. We can reassess later on and see where to go from there once we know what we're up against.

Have you?
[ He's genuinely surprised. Not just because Barnaby's training, but because Kotetsu hasn't, and they're normally joined at the hip, after all. ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Then why hasn't Kotetsu? I've appealed to him more than once, and he always refuses.

Because Kotetsu doesn't want to kill people, and isn't prepared to.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Despite my own misgivings about firearms, I thought it better to be prepared for whatever may come during our time with the CDC.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
But I have not been able to convince him to do the same.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Of that, I have no doubt. The time will come where he either has to make the choice, or potentially die for his reluctance to do so.

It has weighed on my mind for some time, but I have yet to find a solution.

yeah. thats the thing. i have no idea how im supposed to beat mine either.
i guess thats the whole point of it though, but it doesnt make it any less frustrating, you know?
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
It's not supposed to be easy, I know that. But nor is it supposed to be unbeatable. I'll go back when I have a fresh idea.
[ And when he can stomach the thought of what another failure would mean. Another vision of his monstrous self killing the people he cares about. He needs a bit of distance from that. ]

If I had one to offer, I would. Unfortunately, I think of all of us, you're the one best placed to reach him. He'd listen to you where he'd dismiss anyone else.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
One step at a time, perhaps. Could you convince him to learn to shoot with you? Purely for self-defence, of course.

I could try to, but I am not sure that even that will sway him. I still don't intend to stop trying, however.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Especially considering the fact that it seems our missions will become more and more difficult. He may not have much of a choice.

probably a good idea. they always say giving it time is supposed to help you find a different angle to look at it from.
FROM: kaburagi.kotetsu@cdc.org
i hope you figure out how to beat it one day.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
He won't have any choice, Barnaby. He's Green Team, for a start. They already had to kill the Shai. What will he do once we hit a planet where the major species is more human than animal?
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
You know it's possible, or there wouldn't be a threat to our worlds for saying no.

He is going to falter. That much I already know.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
I have been trying to help him prepare for the inevitability, but until it happens, there is no way of telling if any of it has helped.

At this point in my career, it may as well be what they pay me for.

I will not allow him to fall.
