[ the image appears shaky at first - a sure result of complete ignorance on how to actually handle the blighted device - before it is moving to show an elf eying it with suspicious distaste. ]
I've questions. For those who've been here longer than I. [ he shifts, a subtle frown over his otherwise unreadably solemn expression; his tone is level and steeled, albeit sharp. ] What does this - Initiative expect us to do?
Fight their battles? I do not know what manner of magic - [ there's a twist to his lip that can only mark disgust. ] - they posses that was used to trap us here but -
They cannot win this war of their on their own without forcefully involving others. Yet some of you are quick enough to trust them, to think they will send us all back. Why? [ He sighs, bright olive eyes narrow, harden. ] They seek nothing but power to further their own gains. A situation I have seen far too often where I am from.
What have they made all of you do in your time here, I wonder?
[ There is a pause, then. A break. If he knew how to make a filter - if he knew what that was- he'd be making it right now.
A new expression passes his brows now - reminiscent of pain, though it appears as a flinch. his hand curls into a fist on the table he is sitting at. ] Hawke. I need to speak with you.
[ because pride stops him from openly asking for help he secretly may need. ]

They will tell you, that after they have made an effort to abduct us from our own worlds, that we are free to choose what we do here. They are also free to subject us to psychological experiments, whisk us away to various places in various points of time and leave us to fend for ourselves during monster attacks. All without even a prior warning.
They've presented us the "freedom" to choose: we could either be their soldier, their servant or just another casualty to the war.

And such a generous choice we have.
We are mere tools then. So much so that their actions do not warrant a warning?
And they hope for success in this...Initiative of theirs? [ A scoff. ] Pathetic.
