AR(0)Galil||:At the very least, I must tell Negev about my decision. +If I leave without a word, she will never forgive me. ()||:Galil watches Negev with her peripheral vision. +Negev is correcting a new recruit's shooting stance. +Negev is talking to another new recruit. +Now Negev is walking in her direction. +Galil takes a deep breath. NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:Hm? Where are your results? NEGEV(0)0,100;AR(0)Galil||:Negev, we need to talk. NEGEV(0)Negev0,100;AR(0)||:Why are you opening a conversation with me in such a foreboding way?

AR(0)Galil||m_avg_hope:Phew... I've taken the toughest step. +Now I just need to decide which door to step through. ()||:She beholds the plethora of department signboards and ponders her options with her papers in hand. AR(0)Galil||:...Which department should I submit my application to? +To be honest, I don't really have a preference. Maybe I should just try my luck at all of them?

HS2000(0)HS2000||:Alright, best of luck, Miss Galil. ()||:HS2000 takes her leave, though she seems to be have left something unsaid. AR(0)Galil||:Things really aren't looking good... +Rather than me picking a new department, it's more like I'm being passed around... +But I really mustn't let myself stagnate. ()||<黑点1>:Galil sighs before heading over to the Response Combat Team Intelligence Center, which is the closest. ()||<黑点2>:She stops before the entrance. +Ring— She presses the doorbell.
