[ When the video feed starts, it shows Annie in her uniform jacket with a distinctly flat expression that military sorts might recognize as a thousand-yard stare. The silence drags on unreasonably, though she doesn’t give any indication that she thinks it as such. (Hint: She doesn’t.) Finally, she speaks in a tone that's apathetic: ] Is natural gas available in this place? I need it to fill a certain type of canister.
[ Not that she needs it right now, but she lifts one of the canisters from her 3DMG to show it. There's a strategic value to this move by pretending she's lost that advantage. ]
Ah, I should ask after my squad, shouldn’t I? [ She says it almost as an afterthought. So she introduces herself bluntly: ] Annie Leonhart. Stohess District MP, under acting squad leader Marlowe Freudenberg.
[ Because apparently that should do the trick, right? Terse to a fault in such an unusual situation, she abruptly shuts off the feed. ]

Generally, Barry doesn't advocate going against what's already been set as the norm. He's too much of a traditionalist to even entertain the notion unless someone else brings it up first, but that isn't to say he's completely blind to when preset rules and ways can - and should - be changed.]
Physical strength also isn't all there is to it. There are other ways of making changes, so long as you're willing to put the time and effort into it.

[ She makes a rueful sound that could only be called a laugh by someone that's extremely generous. ]
That kind of man can make a difference. But even if I were able to be like that, I'm here now. I can't change anything.

Point taken. I think you could do it though, if you really put your mind to it. [Overly optimistic? Maybe. In any case, he drops the subject.] Was there anything else you were looking for, or needed?
ahhh I accidentally dropped this
