“I… I-I am not sure what to do.”
“Bech h-had arrived to my office and gave me a letter. It was addressed to m-my Senior Officer, Royce Vanderbilt… b-but looking at this letter… I-I am afraid.”
[To Lio: I commend you for your growth, you're an asset to the crew and don't let anyone tell you that you're not. The Engine is in good hands between you, Bech and the rest of the Engineering team. I know you'll continue to innovate and supply the crew with that which you do best. Keep them on their toes Officer Levon! The Wander Crew needs you more than you know.]
[Much Peace, Forever Wanderings - Royce Vanderbilt]
“A-along with the letter… I was given the sc-schematics… the blueprints to the original Submarine, the one h-he had designed himself. One NEVER g-gives their original schematics to a-another, unless they’re certain they’re never to work again… b-be it retirement, or…”
“Do I r-really deserve something this p-precious, something that’s s-such a core piece to s-someone? …He thought so, didn’t h-he… I… I-I can o-only hope I’m even h-half the engineer he thinks th-that I am, to even c-consider myself worthy of something l-like this… and I’ll have to b-be. I will show that s-such a decision was not m-misplaced.”
“Royce, wh-whether you’re w-watching peacefully in a f-faraway land, looking d-down from the grand towers of the h-heavens, or deciding to g-give the monsters from the h-hellish realms another bare knuckle b-beating… I will m-make you proud, Sir.”
