[ This lady's looking a little different, for anyone that's spoken with her before. Not any older, but there's a sort of crooked quality to her nose, like it'd been broken and healed some time ago. She's lounging in the Initiative apartments, looking like she's recently made friends with a superiority complex. ]

I want to speak to those of you who have seen a war before. Not the skirmishes that the Initiative sends us on here, but actual war.

And failing that, I'll take anyone that knows magic — and can teach it. That part is important. Don't waste my time if all you can do is cast it.

An incredibly foolish one.

[onblackwings]

A disagreement without much strength behind either side of it, maybe.

[flamberge]

More like an overabundance of strength, but a extreme lack of common sense.

[onblackwings]

It's difficult to imagine there was any strength involved if it took that long to see any progress. I think we can agree on the common sense, though.

[flamberge]

I had meant in terms of military strength. Both armies involved held an impressive arsenal and were not afraid to use every resource available to win, even if it meant the world would get destroyed in the process.

[onblackwings]

Well, they managed a millennia without destroying any worlds, didn't they? They must have overestimated themselves.

[flamberge]

It had been an extraordinary close call by the millennium's end.
