[You know what, Exsilium? Trying to figure out his own shit is giving Sam a headache. So he's going to try to figure out yours.]

Got a couple things on the agenda today so bear with me. Who knows, this just may end up saving your life down the line. So first thing first - if you see a ghost? RUN. Safest place to be, if ghosts here act like they should, is inside a salt circle, or in a room whose entrances are all guarded by undisturbed salt lines. Fill you in on it when it's tested, but it's better than nothing for now. If you can't run? Grab anything iron to defend yourself. Ghosts are weak to it.

Item number two - raise your arm if you have no idea how the judicial system works here. If you do, explain it to the best of your understanding. The point of this is to eventually make a comprehensive accessible document. Laws and rights are kinda basic knowledge in a civilized society.

Item number three - looking for someone? Want people from home to know you're here the moment they arrive, wanna let people know someone disappeared? Give me names, and I'll make an organized list we can pass around. There're a lot of posts on this network and it's way too easy to miss things. If you're looking for volunteers for anything, I can make a list for that too.

Item number four - been on missions, willing to talk about your experiences on them, or just in Exsilium in general? I wanna hear all about it. Anonymously is just fine too.

[Oh right]

Name's Sam Winchester, and if you're new, welcome aboard. Feel free to ask every question, if I can give you an answer I will.

You know what May Twenty First looks like? Like a deterrent from any attempts to leave. Like a reason to make everybody here get on board, get blood thirsty.

Do You Mean It As Proof We Should Be On Board
Or Are You Actually Suggesting That Was Coordinated For Our Viewing Pleasure

I'm suggesting we have no way of knowing.

I Really Think Its A Bit Excessive To Consider The Odds Of Those Two Possibilities To Be Even

We can't really calculate them when we know nothing about this technology and the timelines, can we?

Well

Knowing What The United Earth Will Do If Someone Deliberately Departs Certainly Makes Going Home Even More Unattractive Than It Was Already

And it definitely lights a fire under everybody's asses.

[He's bitter. He promised himself he wouldn't fight people. And he killed so many of them.]

If I Responded With "About Damn Time" Would You Take It The Wrong Way

So you trust everything they tell us? I genuinely want to know, my own mind is far from made up about them.

Personally
Yes I Do
Ive Never Seen Any Outright Evidence Thats Directly And Irrefutably Contradicted What Weve Been Told About Whats Going On Here
And In Light Of Whats Alleged About What Were Supposed To Be Doing I Think Its The Right Thing
And To Be Honest
I Think The Main Thing Keeping Most Other Transports From Feeling That Way Isnt Actualy Any Serious Theory Superseding The Presented Truth So Much As Having Places Theyd Personally Much Rather Be
Which Isnt A Luxury I Possess

I Know How Much Room For Doubt There Is
Thats Just Not A Space I Occupy Myself Anymore

[And he doesn't either, not anymore. Everything that's waiting for him back home...it's probably better for everyone if he just stays here.

Still he doubts. His brain is just wired that way.]

That may be true for most.

Its One Thing When The Data Available Are Closely Scrutinized
But "Most" Dont Do That Much
When They Bemoan The Unfairness Of Their Grubnapping I Find It Very Frustrating To Watch
Being Hatched In This World Would Also Be Unfair But There Seems To Be Little Sympathy For The People On This Island Who Are In Even Bleaker Circumstances Than Us
How Much Do We Let Them Down By Dragging The Banner Along The Surface Of The Earth Instead Of Raising It High

[That's definitely a point he'll concede]

But that was also my earlier point - that's a decision the Initiative makes instead of using the very powerful resources they brought here to end it quickly.

Do You think Thats Their Choice
After May Twenty-First Do You Think They Have Been Comparing Attacks Of A Large And Small Scale Then Said To Themselves
Dragging It Out Is Simply So Much Fun And In That Respect Alone Superior To Ending It All Right Now Which It Would Be Completely Possible For Us To Do
I Dont Think They Do
I Dont Think They Thougt A Nine-Tenths Unwilling Army Would Be Entertaining Either

[Wow he's bitchfacing at the tablet now :|]

No, I think they either have no idea what they have in their hands, or they have different goals. Either way there's a shortage of information.

A Shortage Of Information Indeed
Since It Isnt As If
Weve Been Plainly Told They Cant Control Who Comes Here
Lets Continue Awkwardly Fumbling For Literally Any Other Explanation
