[Feel lucky, Elliot's roommates. He's finally taking his complaining to the full network! =D

He's standing in one of the rooms, specifically his, but he doubts anyone can tell.]

I've had as much of this nonsense as I can stand! How are these ever supposed to be livable conditions?! The last place was bad enough, but I doubt any amount of possible improvements could ever make this place even come close to that! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE REAL BEDS HERE!

[To make his point, he turns to focus on the shot on one of the bunk beds before going back to himself.]

Is there even a point in trying to do anything with this place?! The Initiative has made it more than obvious that their response to a real problem is to run like cowards!

cowards? you gonna stop a nuke by yelling at it?

[nobleminded]

No, but there had to be more we could do than just retreat.

[Sigh she'll switch for him.]

There was nothing we could do. You know, those sorts of bombs, I've seen videos of them too. You can't just stop them. But we can stop them now. It's the same thing we've been doing, fixing things.

[And he'll switch too.]

So you just said it is possible to stop them! They should have done that in the first place instead of trying to make it so they can act like it never happened!

It is possible but it's not how it works. Time still passes while we're on missions, even if it's not a lot. Who knows how long it's going to take us to come up with a plan to stop the attack from ever happening, go back in time and do what we need to do. It still happened. We all know it did. That's the whole reason we can make it right.

Is it "right" to try to make everyone believe that there were no mistakes?! That's probably why they haven't made much progress in this fight! Instead of learning and moving forward, they try to erase the past!

[Though after the whole "Chain making him forget murdering a lot of his family" thing, he's a bit biased here.]

I don't think that's it. It's... [She sighs and tries to think for a moment.] ...It's different than if I went back in time and saved my sister. This is against a whole world that's drugged up and under control. What else can they do? They can't fight something like that as they are. If they stop it from happening in the first place, it saves the future. It's nothing you can just learn from and move forward when the UE can just crush us like this.

It sounds about the same to me. You're just trying to prevent a mistake or something else you didn't want from happening. How can they even be sure that changing the past is going to make it any better in the long run?
