Freelancer Case File 01.045//Level 2 Confidential [CEDOCUNET] Mission: Failure, All Objectives appears onscreen as Maine watches a Pelican land in the station's docking bay. Cut to a room with a Freelancer in brown armor hanging her head down as Washington approaches her, trying to comfort her.
Washington: It wasn't your fault, Connie.
Connie: Easy for you to say. You didn't drop the ball.
Washington: The ball got dropped. We were all there, it's everyone's responsibility.
Connie: Dammit, why are you doing that?
Washington: What am I doing?
Connie: Making excuses for me. I'm not making excuses for myself...why are you?
Washington: I'm trying to make you feel better.
Connie: Yeah? Great. Hey, how about you go make Carolina feel better? Go pat Maine on the head. See how that works out for you.
Washington: We all make mistakes.
Connie: No! We don't.
Connie stands up and faces Wash.
Connie: That's the point! We don't all make mistakes. Some of us very specifically make mistakes, and others don't seem to make any mistakes at all!
Washington: Connie, come on...
Connie: That's why they're doing all this! These missions! The rankings! They're drawing a line between us Wash. And you're either on one side of that line, or you're on the other. And it's getting pretty goddamn clear which side I'm on.
Connie looks at the screen as Washington puts a hand on her shoulder.
Washington: No one thinks like that; we're a team.
Connie shrugs it off.
Connie: I'm not talking about you guys. I mean them. Him.
Washington: The Director? He's given us everything. He's helping us!
Connie looks at him angrily.
Connie: Helping us? Wake up! Wake the hell up! He's filtering us! This is a selection process, Wash. I don't know for what, but, if you're not at the top of that board, you're not worth anything to him.
Washington: You're just overreacting. You've always been hard on yourself, Connie.
Connie: Not as hard as they are. (Hands her helmet to Washington) Not nearly as hard as they're going to be.
Connie then turns away from Washington
Connie: And don't call me Connie. Makes me sound like a freaking kid. (Begins walking away) Call me CT. Oh, and that line that I talked about...? You better hurry up and figure out what side you're on, Agent Washington, before they figure it out for you.
As Connie exits the room, Washington turns her helmet face up and looks down at it.
???: She's right you know.
Washington looks up to see a man with black armor with green accents.
Washington: What do you mean Rhode?
The man, Rhode, walks where C.T was standing and looks at the screen.
Rhode: The leadership broad, it's tearing us apart. It's made Carolina cocky, South more angry and made Connie distant.
Rhode sighs and looks at Wash with pain in his eyes.
Rhode: I don't recognize our team anymore David and (sighs) I'm thinking that I'm the problem.
