I mean, yeah, we can, but what good is that gonna do? Mosley was the one who was in charge of monitoring us anyway. Sometimes he stopped caring and that's how we got away with so much. Bellona was kidnapped and she's being held hostage basically btw. Uh. The Flamines are probably coming for her? And Mosley went MIA so the colony's been completely falling apart. A bunch of the aliens are disappearing, too.
BELLONA-SAN! SHE IS TOO AGED, ALMOST TO PERFECTION, FOR THIS!
I see... very well. Do you suppose Mosley-san has retreated to get reinforcements? He seems to be the one on our side who should know the most about our enemy.
I feel like that's kind of comparing her to wine, dude. She sort of deserves it though.
I don't know. I can't say for sure what he's actually doing since he's pretty much stopped talking to all of us, but he's helped us before. He does seem to kind of want what's best for us? But would most people even trust him after everything?
...nobody told you about the underground and the robots, did they?
I don't want to trust him after all of this, but what else are we supposed to do? We do not know enough information about our enemies to fight them. [ yet, Katsura is willing to go into the fray. His recklessness strikes again. ]
We need a negotiator, perhaps. [ and then: ] I.. remember vaguely about the underground, but it is a fuzzy memory..
That's probably the smartest thing you've said. Mosley's PR and all of that but we need something different, don't we?
...a few months ago, a bunch of us were kidnapped and scattered around the colony by a robot and we had to find our way out of places. A few people died, some people were hurt...it was different than the tower raids. We found out a lot of things about why CERES is in huge trouble with the Flamines, too. They screwed up really bad.
[ See? He can be smart sometimes. ] I see. We need to figure out how to convince them that there are some of us, if not all of us, who don't want to be affiliated with CERES.
They sound apathetic towards allowing anyone to live, though. Would it really be worth trying?
That depends. How do you feel about going down without a fight and letting ourselves be killed because we didn't try?
They have certain people targeted already for when they come back. We need a way to get them off of our backs and focused on Bellona only. How can we do that?
You're right. We really can't sit back and not do anything, but I believe it should be evenly split. A defensive and offensive team, but also a team who can research.. a team of wits, who can figure out a less violent approach.
Just because you were gone doesn't make you less of a leader, Katsura. You still know more about the shadier parts of the city than I do, and I've been here for a long time. Information's changed hands but we're sorting out what's real and what's not.
I think…as long as you're willing to fight that's what counts here. Especially if we're planning for an alien invasion.
[ We've all got our own insecurities. Zura's is sometimes maybe he thinks his leadership isn't that great because.. it really isn't changing Japan much back home. ]
After seeing the way you act so heroically, and how so many others have relied on you for guidance during all of this.. you could say that I'm the one who looks towards you for leadership, Hiro-dono.
...really? [KATSURA! WHY THIS!] I. Thanks dude, but...I mean the truth is you were one of the first people to push me to figure stuff out here. Even if you were kind of...weird?
[A nice way to put it.] I guess we can look up to each other, how about that?
[ STOP IT!!! HE'S GONNA BLUSH. ] I have experience in exciting the masses. ^_^ You get that after being a political activist for far too long. [ shit you made him emoji.... ]
For now, though, I believe I will follow your leadership until the end. [ this is a huge deal for him to submit to somebody else, and maybe Hiro doesn't know that. ]
[Is that the polite way of calling yourself a terrorist, Zura? But whatever, it's not like Hiro's ever cared about that. Katsura's always been a trusted ally and that's the important part.]
It definitely worked. All the more reason I'm glad you're back. But if you're really sure about that? I'll do my best to lead us somewhere good. I promise.
