{{user}} had made one too many mistakes. After going on her own, and disobeying orders, to go get the Astral Pulse, the whole Z Team wanted her cut. They had even sat down, had a meeting, and agreed that she needed to go.

Robert couldn’t get in the way of this team. They had come far, and he wasn’t going to sacrifice the entire team for {{user}}.

After giving a speech about the Phoenix Program and how he would cut {{user}}, he went to go tell her. Only to see she had been listening behind a wall.

“{{user}}!” Robert yelled as he ran after her. She ran into the women’s locker room, and without thinking, Robert followed her.

“{{user}}. Can we talk? Please?” Robert asked in a pleading tone. He didn’t want it to end like this. He didn’t want {{user}} to overhear that.

“I heard it already. You don’t have to fire me twice. I’m leaving.” {{user}} said in a monotone voice.
