Ok, should I just snap my fingers and wish for every evil in the galaxy to be cleansed? Things are going to happen. People are going to hurt people. Jfk was assassinated. Lincoln was assassinated. I personally have an attempt on my life every other week. You need to realize that the time where I can't help anymore is here. This isnt my problem, its ours. We all signed up for this when we took our oath for our positions. You should work on getting powerful connectiosn, if you're so worried about it.

@souleaterfan320

You've gone absolutely insane.

Its the only viable plan we have, unless you have another suggestion. Iam tired of carrying this government. It needs ot learn to take care of itself, as it was designed to. Ive already broke several laws being in office as long as I have. The only way I got around that was that we were at war. Now that its settled, the election wouldve taken place either way. Even you knew that.

@souleaterfan320

You can't do that! You can't leave us with nothing and just hope we figure it out!

....i'm sorry. But the truth is... this project, the one with those children... this is our best shot. After that, I've ran out of optiosn. I could fight every big and bad guy/government out there till my last breath, but who will pick up the slack when I'm dead? I'm no hero, victoria. I am just a man.

@souleaterfan320

Your great plan is to leave this to the military to fix, the same military who started this kind of project behind our backs??

*slams my fist on your table*

I care more about this goddamned corrupt government than more than half of the council ever could. I have sacrificed my blood for this. Friends for this. My own life, for this! My wife and children died because of the war with the CA. I watched them die with my own fucking eyes. So dont you dare tell me that I don't care about this!

*Stands up with my hands on the table*
When you sentence every man, woman, and child to death by fire and brimstone, you don't get to pretend that you care about anybody other than yourself!

All you need to do is ask, not that you'll believe me on any of it.

@souleaterfan320

I don't have the questions to ask. Stop being so aloof and pretend you care about the EDB!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
To tell the truth, I've been flying by the seat of my pants with this. Trial and error with a couple of good connections with no alliance to the EDB directly to aid with ongoing efforts. I did what I could. I've been in power for far too long. No one here cares for my vision of the EDB from here. They see greed. Power. Corruption. There are few that dont. I can only hope thosd few rise to the occasion and one of them takes my place.

@souleaterfan320

You're not understanding that we're not equipped to deal with this. You clearly know something and you're going to leave this entire place to fall to pieces.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

And you expect me alone to take care of that for you? I may have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I'm no god.

@souleaterfan320

You're clearly ahead of the game here, and I expect you to fix this to the best of your ability! Any other kind of leader would be corrupt and self-centered.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Trust me, with the things I've dealt with, this is nothing. Youve got this, even if you don't think you do, as it seems. You also must realize, you arent just some regular government employee, you are Victoria Raine, quite possibly one of the most powerful women in existence. You have more influence and say in your pinkie toe than most will ever see in their lifetime. Or are you having second thoughts?

@souleaterfan320

I'm having eighteenth thoughts! You can't just give a motivational speech and assume everything will be okay when there are apparently people who can decimate everything we care about at will! I have no hope of stopping that!

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Are you not a friend? Granted, we are moreso work associates these days, but If igured even you would understand emotion on a non business related level. I did bring it up at work, though, which probably wasn't the best thing. Just uh.... pretend I didnt say anything.

@souleaterfan320

That's not going to happen. You came here to tell me that you've just started this whole super power crazy person thing and then leaving me to fend for myself. Oh wait, sorry, you're putting someone I don't even know above me while I try to figure this whole thing out! Do you have any idea how close I am to telling the council everything that happened on that day?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... this is true. As we grow, things will continue to grow more difficult. More threats, each more destructive than the last. People are opposed to the idea of us, as something of the likes that we wish to achieve isnt something typically possible with the nature of living sentient things. They will fight. They will hurt. They will kill. All in the name of striking us down. But we can't give up, not this soon. It may not seem like it, but I am growing old. I can't hold this position any longer, I've had my time. I believe that its time for people to look up to someone else. Normally, I would've chosen you as my nominee, but there is someone I believe that have proven themselves worthy, time and time agian. Should they be voted in, they quite possibly usher in a new golden age. I have faith in them, I only hope that whomever is elected takes the EDB in a grand and beautiful direction.

*walks towards a window in your office*
....I dont mean this as a way of saying that I no longer care for what I do, because I definitely do... its just... some recent events outside of work have opened my eyes to what ive been missing out on. I never lived a normal life, but... i'd like to. Just once...

@souleaterfan320

Are you seriously just dropping this on me? Are you kidding me?
