I have some questions for those of you who have Weaponized either yourself or an ability/power that you possessed before coming to Exsilium.

Have you noticed any ill effects from your Weapon? Whether obvious or subtle, I'd even be interested in hearing about suspicions, if you don't have any solid evidence of ill effects. How have you and your abilities developed over time? And do you think you made the right choice?

If you're thinking about changing your Weapon to something like this, I'd be intereted in knowing your reasoning, too.

Feel free to answer some or all of the questions, and of course you can use the anonymous and/or private feature if you'd prefer.

Thank you for your time.

[There are so many ways she could answer that, but she decides to go for a simple form of the truth, something that Sonya will hopefully accept.]

I want to be better.

[legal_eagle]

[NOPE]

In what sense?

[thephix]

Every sense.

[legal_eagle]

One interpretation is "morally." How would this help you in that?

[thephix]

You don't know what I want to weaponize.

[So maybe it could help!!!!

But mostly morals don't count Sonya, jeez.]

[legal_eagle]

Ohhhh, I didn't know you could weaponize hugs and kisses

[thephix]

You'd be surprised what you can weaponize.

[legal_eagle]

Seriously, though. Do you think you have a moral imperative to fight this war?

[thephix]

I never said anything about fighting a war.

[legal_eagle]

Well, that's what we're supposed to arm ourselves for, isn't it? Fighting?

[thephix]

There's a difference between what we're supposed to do, and what we have to do.

[legal_eagle]

Tell me what the difference is.

[thephix]

Our choices.

[legal_eagle]

So do you choose not to fight?

[thephix]

I'd say that I pick my battles. I'm not suited to the Initiative's.

[Or... she'd prefer to work with the Exiles and make things better, there. It's where she can do the most good.]

[legal_eagle]

What don't you like about them?

[thephix]

That isn't what I said.

[legal_eagle]

Nope, but it's what I'm asking.

casually privates

[thephix]

[Fair, and she has no qualms about answering, since it's something she's discussed with a few people.]

They're not making the most effective use of the skills at their disposal.

tell me more about your privates actually no i regret that pun

[legal_eagle]

Okay. How so?

why would you

[thephix]

There are people that should be far more involved in the planning process, from my experience the missions aren't tailored to individuals' skills as well as they could be, and they should be making far more use of us here, considering how poorly we're defended against an actual attack.

You're right I regret nothing

[legal_eagle]

Do you think those problems are ones that can't be fixed?

i'm embarrassed to be seen with you

[thephix]

I think they could be fixed if the Initiative stopped treating us like pawns.

You say that but all I'm seeing is tagbacks

[legal_eagle]

Do you think that's what they do? Treat us like pawns?

I can't resist

[thephix]

Pawns. Soldiers. Whatever you'd like to call it.

We're certainly not involved in the decision making process.
