STUBBORN AS ALWAYS , THIS PATHFINDER . must be a requirement that comes with the title . a good quality that makes the cause DEFINITE , but it’s aggravating at the moment . he doesn’t doubt that ryder can keep up in this state , but he fears of it being a mistake . they’ve only just begun their task and he’s already slowed down . reyes wouldn’t go as far to think of ryder as dead weight , but deep down he does worry . ‘ we’ve only just started . ’ it’s a stress he hopes the pathfinder HASN’T FORGOTTEN . the surface was merely scratched and they’ve already faced an aggressive obstacle .
ryder has had worse scenarios , he’s sure . that comes with deflecting the true enemy , but this isn’t his responsibility : it’s a favor for reyes . the frown that graces his face shows his disapproval , how he detests the STEADFAST disregard to his own well-being , but reyes doesn’t push his concern’s down the pathfinder’s throat . he knows better . he trusts him enough to pull through no matter the stakes . ‘ ALRIGHT , but if it starts gettin’ too hot , we’re pulling out . there’s no use going into this half-cocked and restless . i always have a plan b , ryder . ’ simple lies fall off his tongue like second nature , but his choice of tone decorates them as simple truths . PLAN B doesn’t exist , but it will in the future should he force the pathfinder to abandon their objective .
he holsters his gun as he moves forward , brows crinkling . ‘ THIS FACILITY , i’ve heard it winds and twists in a way meant to confuse . i know the location on the datapad and other spoils i’m here for , but the route isn’t exactly as … crystal clear . personally , i would suggest taking the route more heavily guarded , but what are YOUR thoughts ? ’
if you have a PLAN B , why are we here then ? he doesn’t ask , but he’s definitely thinking it . lips press thinly , a wry smile forming as he CONSIDERS pulling back . he quickly brushes off that notion . they might just be STARTING but they’re already out , ready to tackle the incoming enemies . ❛ who’s going in half - cocked , reyes ? are you half - cocked ? because i’m not , i’m pretty good . ❜ it sounds more believable than his previous statement ; this time , sam stays quiet & isaac is grateful for it . it’s bad enough the ai is monitoring every little change in his body , WORSE when he decides to tell on him . a BAD FALL is not going to stop him ———— maybe slow him down , but it’s not the WORST he’s dealt with . probably won’t be the worst he’ll have to deal with in the future either .
❛ so , what you’re saying is that .. we’re walking into a labyrinth . ❜ he starts , already not looking forward to it & frowns ; the idea of GOING DIRECTLY towards security doesn’t sit well with him . he’d prefer the path of least resistance , but he doesn’t know what goes on in reyes’ head . he could have a more COMPLICATED PLAN , as it’s typical of the charlatan . ❛ & you want to clear out the place . ❜ sounds CHALLENGING , especially considering they have no idea how many hostiles they’ll encounter . belatedly , he wonders if he should’ve brought someone else despite this being a PERSONAL FAVOR to reyes . not exactly sanctioned by the nexus & not something they needed to be aware of . what the pathfinder did in his free time was his business only , right ? ❛ oh , i got thoughts , reyes , but .. i’m here as backup . i’ll follow you . if you want to head directly into danger , i’ll keep your ass safe . ❜
