But you're right. Our job is simply survival, and Tatsumiya Island's the only place where genuine advancements in stopping the Festum are being made. My job here, gathering combat data for the TSX... it's pointless if I get the Fafner destroyed.
So even though it's not an easy call to make, it's one I've come to terms with.
It seems that survival should be the primary objective of any group which has any other objectives as one cannot complete their objectives if one is dead.
As for death, I cannot afford my own destruction. It would go against my primary directive.
Of course. It is more convenient for the "higher ups" if you are willing to throw your life away easily.
[You could almost picture Devon doing quotation marks in the air as she said "higher ups". Except that she is not the kind of a person to act like that. In fact, compared to average people her gestures and hand movements are minimal.]
At a loss for words, I see. Think about my question then. That is enough of an answer.

Are you ready to kill as well? You will not fight only Festum out there. Most likely other humans as well.

[Does not sound disapproving, so apparently it's an adequate answer in Devon's book.]

Is this your personal decision, or a result of your programming?
[Devon apparently missed the "primary directive" part. Or maybe she doesn't know what it means.]

Life is cheap ma'am. Especially my own. A gear in the machine can always be replaced.
I'll just make sure that I've been worn out completely before that time comes.

[Is Devon content with this answer? Apparently not, because she asks again. And this time she sounds even more serious.]
That sounds like a trained answer. Do you really believe that or were you taught to believe that?

It was what I was taught ma'am. As to what I believe...
