First Duel

*There's a very sour looking man with a scar from some sort of blade running down his face on the screen, looking somewhere between unimpressed and outright disappointed.*

So, this is the city the Initiative operates out of. If that's the case, then it's truly no wonder they feel the need to outsource to other worlds. That is, assuming their words are true. But I should hope that having been here longer, it isn't too much to presume at least some of you have seen evidence either supporting or refuting their claims about this so-called United Earth. If that is, indeed, the case, I want to hear what information is available from direct observation. But if you've just mindlessly accepted their words as true and have no personal experience to prove one way or the other, don't waste my time.

You seem cheerful.

[Obvious sarcasm.]

They bombed us not long after the last batch of Transports got here, sent ground troops in. There were some pretty nasty chemicals in the air too, when they were bombing.

Of course, whether we accepted what they said or not without proof, it doesn't change the fact that we're here and we don't have the know-how to get ourselves home.

It does, however, change whether we consider the Initiative our allies or our enemies. I'm not interested in fighting for a false cause.

[f_u_wesker]

I'm considering them allies for now. They've given us money and places to stay in exchange for us helping them. Which is a hell of a lot more than anything United Earth has done, that I've seen.

Hell, I've only been here a month though.

[misplacedxsheath]

Considering it sounds as if the United Earth has done nothing but attempt to exterminate the people here, I'm leaning in the same direction myself. Particularly if the Initiative isn't exaggerating the situation in this world.

[f_u_wesker]

That's pretty much all I've seen or heard about them so far. It's better to stick with these people for now, until you learn enough through your own experiences.

[misplacedxsheath]

That's my own inclination as well. While I don't particularly approve of their recruitment methods, their desperation appears justified.

[f_u_wesker]

I can't disagree with that.

Anything else you want to know?
