When Synthesis brought up avoiding conflict, Terry began to think about conflict in general. Everything from the most basic physical conflict, such as two beings fighting against each other in nature, to large scale complex conflicts like the Cold War, all began to plague his head. He replayed certain conflicts in his head and attempted to discern if some of the great human conflicts could have just been avoided. He doubted conflict could be avoided all together but wondered if there was some way to make it a less severe problem overall. He quickly decided that thinking like this was overly and unnecessarily wishful and that he had presently spent way too much time entertaining such notions. He emerged from this line of thinking to discover that Synthesis had departed. Terry was debating whether to look for the young man again when the announcement was made that it was time for class. Terry briskly walked to his class, physical training. He made it with a few minutes to spare so he quietly slipped in and observed the stretches that the instructor did. Brass discreetly took stock the other students as he listened while Mammoth addressed the class.
