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.

like a needle in a haystack. and it's not like ONE event is going to have ONE consequence. A lot of things are going to lead to a lot of consequences. how can we ever pin down the right ones AND make sure we can alter them without making things worse?

[salvagedsoul]

I don't know. We might have no choice but to trust the Initiative to take care of that.

[charming_jerk]

Look where trusting them has gotten us to date. Idk man, we need to start doing this shit better on our own as a group if we wanna get anywhere.

[salvagedsoul]

I'd like for us to work better as a group as well, including with the Initiative.

to be honest i was over and done with them months ago. tho something tells me you know that already. at this point i'd only bother with them because there's so little of them left that i don't even know if it matters anymore

[salvagedsoul]

They may not be perfect, but they've done a lot for us. We're here because our worlds are being targeted. I wish people would consider that.

sometimes i wonder if the good outweighs the bad

or if it'll ever be enough in the face of the UE

[salvagedsoul]

There's no point in dwelling on that.

[charming_jerk]

What?! How can't i?!

[salvagedsoul]

I'm not saying you won't do it anyway. You should just try not to let it bother you.

[charming_jerk]

Not happening, kid. May i remind you that they kidnapped a whole shit ton of people and conscripted them into a war when most of 'em don't even know how to fight or deal with war in the first place?
