A lot of you seem adamant to abstain from offering your loyalty to the initiative, which...I understand in the sense that they are strangers just as much as the United Earth.

But should the claims of their forces attempting to raid your own home world be true, it would have disastrous consequences for the people you know still there. Is that worth the risk?

Or is there something else I'm missing here?

[sheesh uh]

Well...good luck to you. Whatever happens.

[And he just...signs out before this gets awkward cause he doesn't know how to deal with this aside saying "dont worry you'll die someday lil guy"]

[What's really sad is how incredibly comforting the Helmsman would find that, especially coming from the mouth of Death itself.]
