Platinum generally prided herself on being the sort of person who could withstand a lot, as past events had evidenced. However, she found it impossible to stay silent after such an explosive reaction from Kreutznauer. No one's actually gonna take something so humiliating without saying a thing, are they? Personal loss might be one thing. Being screamed at by an almost total stranger in the way only her father had done when she was a small child, though, was not on her list of "Things to Deal With Silently".

Before anyone else had moved she unslung her sabre and fired a blank into the ground, successfully gaining everyone's attention. "Look, Professor," she snarled, addressing Kreutznauer. "I followed your orders because I thought you knew what you were doing, but you forget that you've known everyone here for the entirety of a day and a half. You also forget that you totally have the right to walk away from this job if you feel like it. We're being paid to secure high-quality Grimm footage, so shouldn't we damn stick with doing what we came here for? Your singular 'leadership' becomes irrelevant as soon as it clashes with the goals of the group." She took a deep breath, then continued. "I'm no mindless soldier. I came on this trip so I could learn what to do if I were ever confronted with a situation where I would have to fight my way out with people who I barely knew. And I gotta, say, I'm not learning a whole lot from listening to some guy command everyone like some kind of war general."

"And at this point, no one's gotten hurt or died, so isn't this proof that the rest of us might just possibly know what we're doing?" By now Platinum had squared off against Kreutznauer and was sending her yellow gaze into his eyes. "If you're pissed, maybe your fight's not with us at all. It's with the old-fashioned system." Platinum was mostly just angry that she had been yelled at, but like most people in an argument she was bringing up everything that she didn't agree with in the individual.
