It might be just me, but does anyone else feel unsuited to all of this compared to their teammates?

_{[Because being a scrawny, 4'10 boy amongst trained soldiers and fighters can give you that impression.]}

TO: ALL
FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I know I signed up to destroy planets, but I feel I'm going to end up destroyed first. Not that I didn't see it as a possibility - survival of the fittest and all. I'd be dead already by that rule.

TO: ALL
FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Still, I never imagined winter would be this cold.

Mr. Ikari, yes?

I realize this isn't entirely what you were referring to, but I feel the offer is relevant nevertheless.

Would you be interested in signing up for some self-defense lessons?

_{[Eugh, Mr. Ikari makes it sound like his dad. As strange as it is to be called by his first name, in this case it might be better.]}

Ah, yes, but just Shinji is okay.

I think so. I've never really had any prior training though.

whats got you thinking that way?? that youre unsuited to this job and all

The majority of people on my team seem to be skilled fighters or soldiers. Many of them are tall and strong or seem very brave.

I think some people are just more used to this kind of thing than others.

FROM: tobias@cdc.org

It's really freaking cold, though.

If I don't adapt, I think I'm going to end up dead.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I never thought it could get this cold. Only summer exists where I live.

FROM: mitchy@cdc.org I know, right? I thought I was doing well, then there's this girl in my rover who happens to be a soldier. And we're the same age... I think.

you're not alone in this unsuited feeling, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Came from a place where it's usually warm?

I come from Japan, a country on Earth. Since Second Impact occurred we've only had one season, so we've always had summer for as long as I've been alive.

Everyone present must be of some use to them.

It would be pointless to go to the effort to bring us all this way otherwise.

Being aware of your own limitations isn't wrong, but fatalistic thinking like that will end up getting you killed.

It's hard, but try not to think that way, if you can.
