That's unfortunate, but not unfamiliar. If only we could convince everyone of the necessity to work together.

I wish you could take it home with you. I feel certain you would do great good for your peopl with it.

You'll find people everywhere who are too afraid to contribute to the progress of others, who are too fearful to even be neutral in the battles others fight. It's a shame, but it's our reality.

Perhaps circumstances will change here. The Porter brought us in under one set of circumstances, but it's theoretically possible to influence those circumstances, and ultimately change them, don't you think?

It is unfortunate. I have seen variations on this before.

I certainly hope it is, and I know it is the hope of many. Those of us who wish to remain, and those of us who wish to return but with our experiences intact. It has not been possible so far, but I do not believe that makes it impossible.

I thought you might have.

And I'm glad you understand those ambitions. I worry for my people and our chances of surviving the war without some kind of leg up, to be honest.

I think most of us who have seen war have seen that.

A sentiment I likewise understand. I sincerely hope that your people will be able to emerge from this conflict safely, in the end.

Speaking of that possibility, have you ever met Lachesis?
