I've been thinking. I've been thinking for a long time now.

They -- the enemy, that is. They treat us all as something inhuman, even the ones whose bodies haven't changed. We were all born human... animal company excluded, of course. But what are we now? Some of us are turning into monsters. Even those of us who look human are... something that aren't.

...I mean, look at me. I'm a soulless husk when you get down to it.

I asked you all something when I first arrived here. It feels like a long time ago now, but tell me. What do you think you can do?

How can you protect anyone?

That's true. And people have been fighting.

Yeah. I've been trying to do as much of it as I can, but I'm just one guy.

[lackinginfaith]

Aren't we all?

[chalicejoker]

It's why we've got to stick together, I guess.

[Which just strikes him as weird for some reason, given all the memories he has of distinctly not wanting to have anything to do with anyone else when it came to teamwork.]

[lackinginfaith]

I remember not wanting to do that at all. Both versions of me. But if she figured the others weren't as bad as they looked, I can give you all a chance, too.

[chalicejoker]

I hear you there. Not like I want to work with everyone on this network, but there are a lot of good people here. It's possible.

[lackinginfaith]

I'll count on it.
