That question was deceptively simple, and actually required a certain degree of introspection on Keller's part to answer properly. "I believe it to be the r-right cause. We take up ar-arms against the Government and the Corsairs. They're b-both out to hurt people, we exist to hurt them in return. Everyone else is passive or s-secretly conspiring with who we should be united against." He sincerely hoped that his answer was a satisfactory one, and that it didn't unintentionally reveal some kind of inherent doubt or liability to the cause.
Very well. The answer was good enough for her to move forward. She put away the PDA and turned the chair so she was facing him.
You have no direct family lineage, and you've demonstrated some aptitude and second guessing while in service to the Army and the Revolution. This makes you a candidate for a very important program. She took a moment to pause and let the words sink in to Lukas before she continued onto the more attention-grabbing portion.
You have the potential to be a part of something that will take our agenda to the next level, currently I'm looking at more individuals such as yourself. None so far have quite the same story as you. We have a program set in place that will make you three times the person you are now, if you believe in our cause this will give you the tools to take our responsibility to more than just the next level. She paused again, the words would surely be overwhelming if not worrying to the injured boy.
I know what it's like to be a runaway, no family, no sense of direction. Just moving on instinct, but eventually even that erodes away. What I'm offering you now will change everything.
Her last words outweighed the rest, and it prompted and uncharacteristically confident answer from him. Perhaps most noteworthy was the fact that he didn't stutter when expressing his thoughts. "Things already changed forever when I looked a man in the eyes and decided to kill him. There's no turning back now, I know that. So even if I have my doubts, the only way left is forward. Tell me what I have to do." He made direct eye contact as he brought that sentence to a close and didn't seem afraid of the situation anymore.
There it was, feeding off the loneliness and pain to draw in the young pilot. Just a few minutes with me and you've already overcome one obstacle. I'm sure you'll have much in store for me and the Revolution. "And the Revolution" it was just enough pep-talk to keep him on point for the time being, Heinrich was careful not to deviate towards self-interest with every word. Especially now that he was confident.
We're going to take a drive to Tangier, there are several other recruits Planet side awaiting the start of this program. You will be mentally and physically pushed for several months. Around halfway through the program we'll begin piloting courses, real ones.
