The reason why I asked the Section Chief to send me to the gates was simple. I wanted to build up experience.
Be it through watching tapes of other teams or entering the gates, I wanted to build more experience.
I had become painfully aware of how my naivety and lack of knowledge in this industry had nearly cost me my life. Working on bettering my sleep and diet was just one part of the main problem.
In order for me to survive, I needed to build up experience.
'Especially if I want to tackle high-level order missions.'
Let alone the Conductor quest. I only had six months in order to clear a Fourth Order quest. How in the world was I going to be able to handle that?
...I was really screwed.
The only way I could see myself beating that was by somehow clearing the Conductor Quest.
But that was easier said than done.
'I really shot myself in the foot back then.'
Not that I had much of a choice.
