[It is a very solemn Giovanni who addresses everyone today. Maybe it’s due to the cold which, admittedly was a problem that even an extra wrap could not quite solve, but more likely it was due to the book on Renaissance history that was sitting open faced on his lap. He had finally found the time to read the book he had traded Cat (a.k.a. Arya Stark) for and the manuscript held a grim glimpse into the future. ]
We are brought here, told that changing the past is the way to correct the future but I find myself wondering if that is true. Has anything that has been done really been for the best? Those who were native in Exsilium before our arrival have been nearly entirely wiped from history. Instead of correcting the troubles with these ‘nuclear bombs’ we have only plunged the planet into a deep cold. Now we are told we must do more of these missions to gather supplies and correct these new problems. Does it ever end?
I wonder how many of you agree with this. Is changing the past in this manner something you feel is right?
[His voice took on an even softer tone as he thought back on what he had read. ]
What would you do if you had future knowledge of a terrible event? Would you journey to the past to stop it from happening or would you be too concerned it might cause something even worse to occur?

[ it's not that belle's desperate to go home, but she wants to have the option. she wants everyone else to have the option, the chance for rumplestiltskin to find his son - chances and options that won't be there should united earth succeed, so she's heard it. ]

[He stopped to try and collect his thoughts. ]
Would be to see an end to this war, an end to the meddling in time, and the people, transport and native both, given the chance to decide for themselves how their lives should be spent.
[Doesn't want much does he? ]
It is a a lot to hope for, but it would be the best outcome.

[ she smiles easily. at the very least, it's something to think about, even if she hopes it'll be attained fairly easily. ]
There's nothing stopping us from aiming for it.

No, I suppose there is not.

My name's Belle.

[An Italian mouthful of a name if there ever was one. ]
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
