"I object."

The moment Jiang Tianzheng finished speaking, voices of doubt immediately rose in the office.

"I have no objections to Angie Beckett, Su Luoxia, and Zhang Wenhu." Lin Yin suddenly turned to look at Rosen. The smile on her face had vanished, replaced by seriousness and caution. "All three of them have at least a year of mecha piloting experience."

That whirlwind-like presence of Lin Yin's had returned, Rosen thought. She really wasn't someone who was easy to reason with.

"But I have reservations about Rosen and Seti Andrews joining." Lin Yin continued, "As everyone knows, both of them have always been problem figures in the Shatterdome. Seti is famously headstrong and lacking in composure, while Rosen has no piloting experience at all. The only time he ever piloted was also during..."

A flash of anger suddenly crossed Lin Yin's face, and she snorted through her nose.

"Indeed." Lin Yin turned her head aside somewhat unwillingly. "During the disturbance Rosen caused a few days ago, Kunlun did give me a thorough beating. But that still isn't enough reason for me to support Rosen joining the Savior Program."

Oh, Rosen sighed inwardly. Just as expected of Lin Yin—blunt as ever. Is there more?

He realized that Lin Yin indeed had more to say.

"Also, Rosen's actions in both battles completely deviated from tactical expectations. Your actions could very likely endanger both yourself and your comrades. In my opinion, you are not a suitable candidate for this operation..."

At that point, Lin Yin suddenly noticed Commander Jiang Tianzheng staring directly at her.

Lin Yin felt that her remarks might have inadvertently called Jiang Tianzheng's tactical command into question, so she quickly fell silent.

"Very well." Jiang Tianzheng nodded after Lin Yin finished. "Then, Rosen, is there anything you'd like to say?"
