[Her tone is blunt, sharp, faintly accented. No preamble.]
We are here to fight a war. How many of you are remotely prepared?
[She's guessing like three. But then again, she has high standards for preparedness.]

With extreme prejudice. Each thing that exists has a weakness. We need only to find it, strike at it. Each war is like every other war.
permavid/audio
Yeah? What weakness is that? That spirit is going to be just like any other, immune to anything from the physical world. So unless you're one of the magic users or superheroes with freaky powers I don't see this being like every other war.
[Any fatigue from her workout is long since forgotten now.]
permavid/audio
Then those that can fight spirits become tools, and I use them. Either way, I intend to win.

[Staring at the microphone for a brief moment, Korra can't stop herself from asking.] Didn't your parents teach you anything about that stuff?
[Having a tribal background, this questions isn't one that she doesn't have to ask that often.]
permavid/audio
War is about using people. Teams are a pleasant fiction, but they rarely function to their full potential in real life.
[Like the Losers, actually.]
My father was a warlord who kept children as slaves and who sent me to war at six years old, my mother has been dead more than thirty years. Who was meant to teach me, exactly?
permavid/audio
...I'm sorry. I-I didn't know. [As usual, Korra assumed everyone had wonderful parents like hers that were still alive, well, and supportive.]
Six? [Four years of age was her introduction to Avatar training, but it's not actual, life or death war.] Why would you even want to go to war now?
permavid/audio
War is my life. I enjoy it. Do not misplace your pity, little girl, no one has ever been able to make me do something I do not wish to do.
permavid/audio
You weren't kidding when you said you were prepared... If I find anything out about the creatures weakness, I'll post it up on the network. For you to use.
[Another lesson for Korra in how different Tu Vishan is from her home world.]
permavid/audio
Such information would not go to waste.
