I thought you had seen the wisdom in the Initiatives' decision rather than simply wanting to do damage control. What position are you in to argue for the choices made if you do not believe in what you support? Your arguments will be weak, flawed, and they will crumble.

( her expression and her voice hardens, hair curling tighter. while it serves mostly as simply ornamental, there's a hint of more violent uses for it in the way it twists. )

You think you are the only one who has to deal with their fate being decided for them?

( the inhumans have always been at the mercy of other people - the aborted result of kree experiments, trusted and disliked so much that they left the planet they called home for first the moon and then the stars. where they've torn a place for themselves by force and great cost. )

Do not insult me - you do not have the right. You know nothing of my life, of what I have loved and lost and sacrificed. And I did not do so in order to subject myself to the misplaced frustrations of someone barely of age for her species.

Perhaps you would be better served by taking out your anger at those who deserve it and leave the politicking alone if you so truly detest it. There are others here that are more than capable of doing what you have done, and we have a lawyer on staff who would no doubt enjoy the chance to practice his art in defending you from the Initiative's wrath.

( as he'd been so eager to start something earlier, medusa figures he'd be happy to take some of his own anger against the initiative that way. )

Thank you for your continued efforts for the cause, Ms. Brown.
