I'm glad so many are turning their energies toward each other, holding events that can distract from the unpleasant atmosphere outside of the Hold.
Yet even so, resentment and suspicion remain, coming from the hearts of the inhabitants of this city and island. Jealousy, too, in places. I wondered at first, but...
How is it we are sent to see the sun in a cleaner sky while the people this whole, abstract idea was built for linger in this gloomy place? It was safe enough, given the strengths of many of us here. Many good people. And even then, some would say the benefits outweigh the risks and take the chance regardless of threat.
I only know if it were myself denied the sun and strangers given the means to see it, I am sure I would be resentful, too. And as much as I could and do understand the notion of keeping safe...it almost seems crueler, to remain trapped here with no respite.

Thats A Touching Sentiment
How On Earth However Would Five Hundred Thousand Souls Be Reasonably Contained Within The Dome
It Takes An Entire City To House Them As It Is
And Should There Be So Much As A Single Sleeper Agent Among Them Disaster Would Befall Us All

[firstroar]

You are not wrong.
Yet why would all have to go at once? And, certainly...some would not wish to go at all.

While Smaller Groups Do Seem More Reasonable In Some Respects
That Would Mean A Large Amount Of Transporter Activity Dedicated To The Task

[firstroar]

It would. And there have been hazards before. There may be others in the future.
But it is the present that troubles me...and others, living in it.
It's a matter of what happiness is most important: Now or later.
And the means of making it so.

It is a lot. Yet still I wonder.

Does The Specture Of Enjoyment Not Make The Bright Light Of Agony More Painful To The Eyes When Taken Away

[firstroar]

[long. delay. words...]

You may need to rephrase; I do not understand.

[speakveryclearly]

Theyre Not Going To Be Any Less Unhappy In The Long Term If This Is The Only Kindness Theyre Ever Shown
Itll Just Make Them More Bitter When Things Go Back To The Way They Were Before

[firstroar]

Why would that be the only kindness ever shown?

We Cant Possibly Just Send Them On Vacation All The Time

[firstroar]

Of course not...but this gesture is not the only one we could offer.

[speakveryclearly]

Maybe It Might Be Better To Focus On More Feasible Ones If This Isnt The Only One

[firstroar]

I am eager for that, as well.
Yet it still troubles me. Seeing the sun of a stranger's world when the very people have little chance for it...

The Sun Underneath Which Hard Labor Was Being Performed
How Would The Exiles Feel About Doing That Exactly

[firstroar]

I couldn't say. I would ask them, if they would let me near.

[speakveryclearly]

Maybe You Can Put Up A Survey

[firstroar]

It is possible. There's much more to consider than a wishful thought.

[speakveryclearly]

I Do Wish The Exiles Lives Were Happier Though
That Part Is Irreprehensible

[firstroar]

Is it enough to move you in the direction of bettering it? Or do you wish to remain an observer, or the extension of the Initiative's hopes?

[speakveryclearly]

All I Can Do For The Native Residents Of This World Is Fill Them With Fear
Its Better I Do That To The Representatives Of The United Earth

[firstroar]

Fill them with fear?

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah
Im A Transport And They Can Tell
