[quote=@Etcetera] *Sighs* I don't know what the norm will ever be in the future. [/quote] ... 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...
