Wasser5466707 asked: What is the biggest argument you had with Ruby and who won?

Baker: I do not really argue with Ruby to be honest. There is no reason to. But as you maybe know my fianceé is basically constantly in some sort of argument with Ruby. So I do not take sides because I would need to decide between a good friend and my future wife, that wouldnt end good I guess. I keep distance.

LB: I can rarely remember a single meeting with Redfort where we didnt kind of argue about something. The biggest and most recent "discussion" we have is about her future training. Before I tell you what exactly is the matter, I want to remind all of you that she is only 14 years old. But now the kid wants to be "properly" trained. Which would include dangerous weapon stuff, being enabled to fly airplanes or helicopters and stuff. She always argues that Bradley was also very very young when he started doing those things. I always tell her that this might be right, but he wasnt trained under my watch and I wont allow such things. What I do not tell her is, that most of the stuff we did back then (and sometimes still do) is more than illegal. And while I can bend a lot of rules and laws to my will because of my connections, I just got into a bad ... disagreement... with the minister of defence a few weeks ago. I do not need that again so soon. I already did a lot of that rule-bending for Redfort, I have to draw the line somewhere. Also I do not allow Bradley to fly any aircrafts anymore either.

Baker: *sulking*

LB: Oh stop it. Apart from all that Redfort totally underestimates the amount of training it takes to get there. I cannot even tell you, how many times I passed out during my training for fighting jets, before I eventually got used to it. I doubt Redforts little body could take that.
Nowadays we are so good with our technology, that the only limit to what we can do is the human body. We could do more extreme manouvers if the body wasnt so fragile. Additionally, we do not train our jet pilots ourself. We do not have the resources for it, and neither are we allowed to do so. The only people that could do that are the comrades at the army. But they dont do that just for anyone and without getting something in return. Thats why I, Bradley and many other high ranking agents worked with and for the army for some years. They helped us to enhance our training, and we helped them with the most risky missions. Whatever extreme mission you ever heard of, it is almost sure that one of our agents was a part of it. We can be considered as a special force after all.
I have not yet won that argument, but I will eventually.

Baker: Oh really? How do you plan on achieving that?

LB: Watch me
*gets up, walks down the corridor and stops at a door. Rips it open suddenly and startles Ruby with it*

Ruby: *visibly confused*

LB: Hey Redfort, you wouldnt mind it, if I hand you over to the military for some years, do you?

Ruby: What?! Hell no, dont even consider it. You need me here anyway *tries to smile innocent*

LB: Yes, thats exactly what I thought. *turning to Bradley* You see? I always win in the end. *leaves*

Ruby: Wait... win what?
