TRANSCRIPT

JAROVIT: I am sorry to say it, but the lad is a bit reckless.

BALDRIC: Reckless? He's just having some fun!

TRENT: WOOOOOooooooo!!!

JAROVIT: Perhaps vith guidance, in a few years he might be ready, but now...

BALDRIC: Listen guys, I'm not supposed to tell you this – he wouldn't like it – but Trent might not have a few more years.

JAROVIT: Vhat?!

BALDRIC: You know about his... condition. Well, it's sort of... degenerative.

JAROVIT: Oh. Oh, I see. A fate vorse than Death.

BALDRIC: Yeah, they don't know how much time he has – and it started when he was just a kid – so... he's pretty much already living on borrowed time.

GEIST: All human lives are brief. This changes nothing.

BALDRIC: Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that, because I thought–

GEIST: –Actually, this makes him a worse candidate. His condition could become unstable at an unpredictable moment and jeopardize a mission.

Sound familiar?

BALDRIC: Whoa man, low-blow.

GEIST: Our team is the Society's last line of defense – we are the thin line between humanity and extinction – we can't afford that risk factor. Let him stick with his current assignment – your little friend will get enough thrills there, Baldric.

JAROVIT: I believe that if Trent's Death is to mean something – ve should permit him opportunity to join us. He could save the vorld.

GEIST: Or he might end it.

JAROVIT: I vant him on the team, old man.
