*Smiles*
You're going to be thrilled. For what it's worth, we won't plan to keep you, unlike a few of your other friends. You may or may not see them there, depending on factors.
*Pats you on the back*
Good work against that Nemid fella. Glad it worked out that you didn't need your whole team to get the job done, yeah?

@Armed Forces

*Clenches my fist and glares at you with deadly intent, then glances over at the third man and restrains myself*
So help me...

*Is standing somewhat of a distance away, watching the conversation*

@Unhinged

*Tenses up for a moment, quickly masking a sudden expression of fear*
Tch... I had no idea he was still kicking.
*Chuckles mildly, laughing it off*
I didn't realize we were playing like that. Fine, you win. Let's take a tour.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Yes, boy. All this time, our people have lived. Regrown, in secret. And now, we're ready. And upon looking outward, finding you, we noticed your accomplishments and decided to come to you directly. We want to show you our new world and how far we've come, to see if you'd like to return. Your skill will make a valuable asset to the cause.

@Armed Forces

Peh. If that's what you wanted, you shouldn't have been the one to come. Send someone else, then I'll be glad to have a look at the progress.

It's not a yes or no proposal, Mr. Waternaux. It's the sort where you listen to the terms, and follow accordingly. Because you're right, I am a shadow of a former government. But a "lone remnant" you say? No, far from it, old friend.
*A fleet of enormous ships fill the sky, blinking into reality from nowhere*

@Armed Forces

*Stops leaning on the boulder and stands straight up, glancing up then looking at you for the first time*
You're not saying-

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I know. And to be honest, I wasn't hoping you would. I was hoping for more of a natural build up to my proposal, see.

@Armed Forces

Well quit that and get to the point. Save us both the trouble. There will be no conflict today. You're a lone remnant, a shadow of a former government long since gone and that I do not care for anymore. And that includes petty quarrels based on the past.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I assure you of the integrity of my livelihood. Now, care to indulge me, Mr. Waternaux?

@Armed Forces

I don't care if we share the same dead place of origin, you and I have never been, and never will be buddy-buddy enough for me to "indulge" you.

*Sighs*
So you don't want to acknowledge me until we're face to face, is that it? As if there's a chance I'm not absolutely confident you're there? Come on, now. No need to be shy. You know me.
*Slowly walks around the boulder*

@Armed Forces

*Is standing, leaning with my back against the boulder, watching the sunset as its light reflects of the earth's shining surface like glass. I don't turn to look at you in any way*
I just thought I was hearing ghosts. In fact, I still feel that way. Now I'm just seeing them too.

*Nods*
Of course. In any case, I’m certain you have your own business to attend to, so we’ll be off.

Plenty. First to check on my kids.
*Casually salutes*
Sayonara.
*Jets off through space*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Likewise.
*Holds out my hand*
May, by necessity, it be the last.

@Source

*Shakes it firmly*
Let us never work together again.
*Smirks*
For all the right reasons, of course.

*Nods*
Our team will be in contact, and we'll keep the crystal in isolation.

@Source

*Nods in return*
Thank you for stepping up today.
