[Tieria did his best to remember his reasons, even if they were only excuses in reality. They sounded flimsy, even to him. Backing up so that most of the corridor's width was between the two of them, Tieria started his attempt to convince Lockon that his logic was sound somewhat shakily.]
...there was no place in the mission plan for a sniping unit. I. I didn't want an unnecessary number of suits sortieing for a mission with so many undefined quantities on the opposite side. Someone needed to be kept in reserve, and it just happened to be you, Lockon, so don't say it like that. And besides, I'm still not sure about. Certain problems you might have.
[Once again, Tieria was looking at everything in the corridor except Lockon's face. He didn't want to start down this particular avenue of issues, but Tieria was getting the feeling that Lockon wasn't believing a word he'd been saying, and as such, he was going to have to steer in the direction of a few things that were almost guaranteed to make Lockon somehow even angrier.]
