[NO PROBLEM]

Do you think there's a way to sneak out?

[...hanbei]

[sponsorigami]

I really don't think that's a good idea for me to do at all...

[ Doing that will get Ivan dead 8( ]

[strategicnaps]

Are you sure? Sneaking out from my camp during wartime to get to a hot spring back home wasn't really a good idea, but nothing bad came from it!

[HANBEI]

[sponsorigami]

Um... I'm one of the Red failures...

[ And he doesn't want to anger Mother too! ]

[strategicnaps]

[oh

okay]

We should be able to make time for it one day, though. [Have to be optimistic!] I'll look out for any spots of free time we both have!

[sponsorigami]

[ Being Red is suffering. ]

It sounds like it would be nice

[ He doesn't think that it'll happen though 8( ]

[strategicnaps]

[NEVER LOSE HOPE, IVAN!!!!!]

It definitely would be, after spending so much time in a freezing planet like this. I'll tell you if I find the time, then!

[sponsorigami]

[ HOPE IS FOR THE STRONG! ]

A lot of people probably think the same of the planet. I hope no one's from the desert

[strategicnaps]

[YOU'RE STRONG, IVAN. YOU GOT TO BELIEVE.]

Or a desert planet.

Imagine if they decide they want to send up to a desert planet after this.

[sponsorigami]

[ He believes in negativity. ]

... I hope not... Even with our cuffs helping, it will be a big change

[strategicnaps]

[BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOOOOU]

They would want us to get to work ASAP [look, he's learning acronyms!] so I think they'll somehow change the cuffs to help us adjust.

[sponsorigami]

[ Good on Hanbei for learning! ]

Moving through snow is a lot different than moving through sand. I'm familiar with sand. It doesn't act like snow

[ Spoilers. Ivan would do good on a desert planet. ]

[strategicnaps]

I'm familiar with sand too, but I've never been to a desert. At least snow doesn't get everywhere in your clothes like sand does.

[He would do... 'eh' on a desert planet. Not too different from a snow planet.]

[sponsorigami]

I've never been either, but I'm familiar with how it gets everywhere

[ His best friend is a NEXT who can manipulate sand. And Ivan has the form of a fennec fox. Not so useful on a snow planet. Much more useful on a desert one. ]

[strategicnaps]

[You should just transform into a fennec fox forever so he can pet you.]

If we ask them, do you think they'll tell us what planets are next? If any. I doubt they'll let us go after just one.

[sponsorigami]

[ Not here. Doing so almost killed him. Desert animals do not mix well in snow, especially after nanites shutting down for 15 seconds. ]

... I don't know. I wonder if they even know

[strategicnaps]

[...Oh, okay. 8( ]

01
They may not seem very well-organized, but I think they would get some time to think over the next planet they have to go to. Even if it's only a snippet, a little planning goes a long way.

02
Unless there's a shortage of planets to destroy, in which, maybe we could get a break.

[sponsorigami]

[ Those big ears lose a lot of body heat! ]

I could also see why it might be a risk to let us and them know... But, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things either

[ CDC works in mysterious ways, far stranger than the likes he has ever dealt with at home. They could very well consider such information a threat to the current mission. ]

[strategicnaps]

[Mysterious ways, indeed. Hanbei is kinda used to mysterious way (thanks Nobunaga), but he feels like he can't... affect or take control of the situation here. At all. Unlike back home. It won't stop him from trying to learn more and study everything- that's the strategist's job, after all- but it's a bit disheartening.

Nothing he can't overcome, sooner or later.]

I've got to go help ferry people now, so I'll talk to you back at camp, Ivan!

[Actually, no, he's going to collect his thoughts. But same thing, right?]

[sponsorigami]

Ah! I'm sorry! I don't want to disturb you for the rest of your task. Good luck, Mr. Takenaka!

[ Oops. He meant to check in, not distract. Luckily Hanbei knows better (or can lie about it). ]
