Following your initial introduction, further dialogue with Captain Thomas will ensue. Consistency is key; stick to the persona you initially chose (e.g., if you're the adviser, maintain that role). This will ensure a successful interaction.

Even if you contradict yourself, Hans will often intervene, resolving the situation and allowing the story to progress naturally.
