When: 17th - 22nd-ish.

"Yeah." It didn't change a thing, not really. Just escalated tensions, warned Rinzler about a useful tactic, and got too many people hurt. She feels it, knows it keenly: The price of failure. "They will be. And I don't know how that changes."

She clenches a fist. Success brought the chance of permanent settlement, would have at least put Rinzler on his ass long enough to regroup — or so she'd hoped.

"This system doesn't manage it. And it won't deter it further. So you either change the people, or you change the system."

A glance to Tex.

"I know which I'd prefer."

She has a feeling it's what Tex would, as well.

"The system," Tex says firmly. This whole idea of reprogramming Rinzler leaves her cold. "The system, as it stands? Is a mess."

How to fix that is beyond Tex's ken.

She finishes folding her arms, looks to one side. "That's all I had to say," she says. "I guess I'll see you when you get out."
