[politicallyinclined]

I have tried to stay optimistic - hopeful, at least - in regards to our mission. I have seen planets die and stars burn out; even relocating those on said dying planets doesn't always work out well. Not everyone is equipped to adjust to new environments even if they are similar to what they had before.

(They have to be successful in other words. They have to.)

I wish to represent multiple worlds since there are many in my galaxy that have no representation. Are there any others in our number who feel likewise? I know that space travel isn't common; we can only help the worlds that we recall.

(She wishes she had brought maps with her!)

I am also curious how many of us have military or fighting experience? I would like to know who to call on should I find myself or others in a tight situation.

[It feels like a weird thing to be thanked for, but... she'll take it.]

You're welcome.

Yes, you can contact me anytime. I will do what I can in a given situation.

[politicallyinclined]

(Help isn't a given. She is grateful for all of it.)

I'm glad you're here, but I hope we can see you home safely soon. I hope we can all go home safely.

I wonder sometimes how true it really is, what they say about why we are here. Shame we can't get more straightforward answers from, ah, "management" as it were.

[politicallyinclined]

For now we need to accept what they say. (To be safe.) I haven't seen their full power, but considering how we have been brought here from different galaxies and times, it must be considerable.

[waytodie]

Aurora, Eos... they are only liaisons to the Big Guys, you know? I'd like it better if we knew who was pulling the strings. Perhaps somehow... we could eventually find a way to leverage a meeting like that.

[politicallyinclined]

I would feel better seeing them face to face too. We have to be patient and look for an opening.

[waytodie]

You think they might really give us that?

[politicallyinclined]

Even if they don't, it might come up on its own.

[waytodie]

Through intervention of our own?

[She's pretty sure that's what she means, and she like the way the other woman thinks.]

[politicallyinclined]

Yes. If we have an opening - any opening - we should take it.

(Having a better understanding of this planet and why they're here is worth it.)

[waytodie]

I agree.

Maybe we can make that opening happen, if we get enough like-minded people together.

[At some point, Echo has to listen to the masses, right?]

[politicallyinclined]

We should be quiet about it. I don't want it stopped prematurely.

(Or taken as some call to war.)

[waytodie]

Understandable.

If you ever decided to get louder about it... let me know, yes?

[A weird way to say "Keep me in the loop", but hey~ ]

[politicallyinclined]

You will be one of the first I inform.

[waytodie]

Thanks. I appreciate that.
