<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t even know if I feel like I earned the right to have that power.

@Audacious

You have as much a right to it as anybody else.

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

@Legend

Sure, that I agree with. But more ability to act on that right than most.

@Audacious

*Nods*
I agree completely. But similarly, countless others die while you, so far, have not. Does that forfeit your right to live, as much as any "right" can exist?

[Vacare]

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Grabs my signature square-barrel guns from my pack, along with another handful of ball bearings, and begins channeling spells through them*
Lily: That’s not going to work, but do your best anyway.

@Nimda

*Like some eldritch horror, tentacles start to emerge from its back. The raw strength and mass of the bear shatters the ice and begins charging at us before it steps into the stone spike traps which seem to slow it down.*

There! GIO HIT IT!

*I put both of my hands together and channel a spell through Noct. A circle begins to form on Noct many times larger than himself, first white then purple it seems like it's charging up. Hoping Gio and Lily can slow down the bear just a little more*

Well, no…

@Vacare

Can do!
*Twelve white magic circles of decreasing diameter open along the barrel, and a bright light shines from within*
Lily: *Materializes a red circle with a crosshair over Gio's right eye, highlighting the bear's vitals*
-*Lines each gun up with one of the organs and unleashes a beam of light, each circle accelerating and focusing it into an intense, cutting laser*

Well, no…

@Audacious

My point. If you wish to live by a moral code, live by that moral code. If you wish to live by structure, join or create said structure. If you wish to reject all of this, you're free to do so, and you can adopt any contradiction, thought, or creed in its place. However, none of it will be assigned for you. No structure, by justice or otherwise, and no tenets, true or false. You must take those up yourself.

And if it makes you feel any better, he wouldn’t have said what he said if he was as smart as he seemed and knew how it sounded, unless it was the truth. I’m willing to bet no one really was hurt here today.

@Revolutionary

That being said, I don't approve of the approach. In my opinion, this weapon should be dismantled, or donated to research purposes.

@Legend

I never really thought of myself as in a position to assert my beliefs like that on the world at large. It just sounds weird. Feels weird.

@Legend

I have some feelings about this things existence that might make that difficult.

@Audacious

Perhaps something to think about and evaluate.

Such as?

@Legend

There are people with sway who never wanted this thing truly decommissioned, otherwise I’m absolutely sure you’re not the first person who’s felt that way about it.

@Revolutionary

Sway over what individuals?

[Revolutionary]

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

@Legend

People who want this thing stripped down.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

People who want this thing stripped down.

@Revolutionary

Perhaps this incident will be enough of a system shock to convince them otherwise.

@Legend

You would think but it’s not like they didn’t know what it was capable of.

@Revolutionary

Perhaps, but knowledge of capabilities and actioned abuse are worlds apart.

@Legend

You don’t plan to take action on your own accord, do you?

[Revolutionary]

@Legend

We’ll see I guess. Like I said, I have some feelings.
