PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

Connor, my buddy, my PAL

I love ya but it is not your fault.

You can't protect me forever, Hank.

Yeah??? Well I’m gonna damn well fucking try, Connor.

I'm sorry, Hank.

I get it, Connor. I do.

But you’re a good person. People are gonna see that.

A good person who shot two people, stole a gun, attacked Aurora, and nearly killed you.

Only three of those things matter, Connor.

[Only three!!!!]

You know better than anyone that it was Alrys who made you do that.

And we went over this, didn’t we? If it were me in your shoes, you’d understand, yeah?

I would, yes.

So then why don’t you deserve the same goddamn courtesy???

Because.

Because.

I'm not sure, but I feel strongly that I should not be forgiven.

[And feelings are super difficult right now.]

It’s not my place to forgive everything else, obviously, but I forgive what happened between us.

Hell, there’s nothing to forgive.

Nothing?

How many times do I gotta say it’s not your fault??

Unless there’s something else you want to admit to? You fed me something weird?? Forgot to feed Sumo???

I've done none of those.

See? So nothing I gotta forgive, yeah?

Of course.

[He doesn't believe you, Hank, but they've been arguing so much, he's willing to throw in the towel and agree.]

Someday, Connor. I’m gonna be able to make you understand how much you mean to me.

[But not today, Hank concedes.]
