First things first - Initiative? Really? Come on, couldn'tcha be at least a little original? I mean I'm having a serious case of been there, done that. And for the record? Not really looking forward to doing it again. I've had the tour, I've seen the shinies - and I'll say again. Not interested. Opposite of interested. Me and freaky government strongholds go way back. We had a very hot and heavy relationship, but we're seeing other people now, and both of us are better for it. So, second thing? If you could just, you know - help a girl out and point me toward the nearest exit? That'd be real peachy. Failing that? I'm not your strong-arm. You can't control me. Don't even try.

[ It sounds like she's done, but then there's rustling, and she comes back. ]

Oh, neat um -- neat weapon thingy. By the way. Looks like it might be stolen tech from someone very unsavory. But you almost had me drooling. I'm watching you.

People are afraid of what they don't understand.

[onemoredeath]

It's not that hard to understand. We come from nothing, we go into nothing.

[defending]

Not everyone believes that. And I know it's not true. For a fact.

[onemoredeath]

Everyone has their own idea what is there. Some might actually know, but it doesn't mean a thing outside of your own world.

[defending]

Except it kind of does.

[onemoredeath]

No. I died here and there was nothing.

video;

[defending]

... What? You what?

video;

[onemoredeath]

I died. [Yeah, he doesn't react to that statement other than shrug like it was nothing.]

[defending]

... And they just brought you back?

video;

[onemoredeath]

Yes. It should be in the records of this Network.

[defending]

Huh. Goodie. Resurrection party for all.

video;

[onemoredeath]

They do say that we are the ones they can bring back but not their people.

[defending]

Seems kinda unfair, doesn't it?

video;

[onemoredeath]

They are stuck in their time and their world. We're outside of their time and their world. I think that they can revive our time through their machines, but they cannot do that for the natives of this time because they are part of it.

[defending]

And? It's still unfair. If they have the technology to save people who aren't even native, why don't they have the technology to save their own? You'd think it would work the same. We're all basically human. Most of us. Right?

[he really does not like English. It really doesn't convey what he wants to say properly.]

No. Our times are in flux. Their time is fixed. Their machines knows our time because that is what the machines focused on. They cannot focus on the natives because of how fixed they are in this place.

[defending]

Still. You'd think they could figure something out.

video;

[onemoredeath]

Maybe they were trying to do that and we're the results.
