[ He makes the bother to speak in Basic (which is really English except maybe accented weirdly, who knows) but cuts right to it and doesn't betray his own thoughts on the matter. ]

How are we certain the Initiative is the right side to fight for?

Dunno. I've asked the same question too, and only got the answer than the UE are the 'bad guys' and the initiative are the 'good guys'. Though honestly, I'm not really sure how much I buy that.

[ Because holding a camera thing is dumb. Advanced technology his ass. Come on, you have this technology to create and evolve weaponry but you don't have a basic holographic simulator. ]

No intentions spoken, I presume? [ Of what the Initiative will decide to do given the prospect of winning. ]

Would it really matter if they were or not?

[horncrown]

It would. Where you lay your allegiance always matters.

You must be new. We've been there, done that, had this discussion before the UE decided to destroy the world of a transport.

( so unimpressed. )

With what technology did they find themselves capable of entering other words galaxies away, I wonder. [ You bet this is sarcasm- but to be fair he's actually still not on either side of this argument. ]

I'm fighting for the Initiative because they gave me a better life than the one I had.

[ His immediate thoughts go to slavery. Let's be honest, generally anything and anywhere is likely better than slave life. This answer is acceptable. ]

A good reason for loyalty.

We're not! But y'know, they have been pretty good about supplyin' me with shit to kill every month, so I dunno they're growin' on me a bit.

You lived. [ Said flat with the hint of disappointment. Although it's fake. ]

Fuck no we don't. But we're stuck with 'em.

For now, yes.

I'd say it depends on what you consider the "right side." I consider it the right side because everything I've read up on the UE makes it sound like ... well, everything gone wrong. The Initiative seems like they could use some help, but I guess we're just beacons for that.

permavoice;

[horncrown]

It does. [ Small break ] The regime that UE governs under on this planet is one with many flaws but in the overall health and balance of the system, it's possibly one of the more functional methods if you respect an ideal of complete equality. [ and if implemented correctly comes in a heavy suggestion. ]

Which leads me to wonder about the Initiative's plan.

[nosebleeds]

Beats being on the other side, I guess. Since last I heard it wants us all dead.

[horncrown]

We're their opposition and we're otherworlders. [ Were you expecting to be invited for dinner? He snipes to himself but doesn't convey the thought. To your defense, the most rational employment of ones interest is currently fighting for the Initiative, from what he can see.]

[biwinning]

They're better than the other guysth. Trust me. I've been here for almost two human years.

[horncrown]

Have you come to know our designated enemy well?

Well, it's about time someone started speaking some sense around here.

Indulge me. [ With your thoughts, that is. ]

[ He's not suggesting to pal up. ] Think broader.

[cesar]

Who determines right or wrong?

[ God does, he has been told, but he doesn't believe that. ]

[horncrown]

[ A philosophical question, this. ] I believe it is less who and more based on the circumstances. These concepts can change.

War always has a minimum of two sides. If you ask yourself which side to choose, then you're only looking for a banner to fight under.

Sir, you should only fight for whom you're in agreement with. Otherwise, you may die for nothing.

[horncrown]

[ He's amused. A varied bunch indeed. ]

A minimum. [ moment ] Agreed.

Where do you find your agreement stands?
