We should not return to Earth.

We should stay here.

I know that may be an unacceptable proposition to some of you, especially after the most recent difficulties with opening the agricultural wing.

But from the perspective of safety and advantage, this is better.

Even at its widest point, the English Channel is only 240 kilometers.

Then you should also understand why people aren't too eager to remain here, even despite the war.

I hope you can see where I'm coming from when I say how selfish and frivilous it is for our own comfort to be at the forefront of our minds.

Most humands are selfish by nature, you know. Nothing wrong with that.

text

[salvagedsoul]

I know. And, of course not.

But humans are also capable of making decisions that go against their nature. I've learned that.

[wordsthatkill]

Yeah, they are.

But hey, it's just my opinion, and going by my own experiences, people won't want to stay here. Don't blame them for it, is all.

I never said I would. But, thank you for the reminder, sir. I don't think we've spoke before now, have we?

text

[wordsthatkill]

Well, just what I think...

No, I don't think so. I've not exactly been here long.

My name is Kaworu.

Sounds Japanese.

I'm Big Boss, or Snake if you'd rather.

[salvagedsoul]

That it is.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Snake.
