Even then, where do I start?

@Audacious

What matters most to you?

What matters most to you?

@System

Family and friends.

<Snipped quote by System>

Family and friends.

@Audacious

What about them? Them being close to you? Being alive?

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What about them? Them being close to you? Being alive?

@System

I guess being alive would have to come first.

There are a lot of things to consider. If the cost of life is wrecking your relationship, is it still worth it?

@System

If I had to choose between someone else's perception of me, and their life, I'd throw the relationship away for their sake.

@Audacious

Do you think that would make you happier in the end?

You'll lose by numbers alone. I'm sure you know this already.

@Armed Forces

Our numbers are greater than you realize. You're not the only one in command of an army, Sarso. Plus, you're on a timer.

@System

Happier than the alternative? I can't bear the alternative.

@Audacious

What about the risk of the alternative?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

@System

What do you mean?

<Snipped quote by System>

What do you mean?

@Audacious

Is ruining those relationships worth that the alternative might happen?

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Is ruining those relationships worth that the alternative might happen?

@System

If the risk is high enough. If I made a decision that cost the life of someone else because I decided the risk wasn't worth taking action, I couldn't live with myself.

@Audacious

Why do you have to bear that burden? Nobody expects you to predict the future.

@Nemeses

Even with your confidence in numbers, Existence is home to so many gifted fighters. Good luck coming out on top.

@Armed Forces

Enough of this. You won't even breach the corner of this dimension to which I banish you. Your contribution to our salvation will be honored for all eternity, though. I do hope you keep that in mind.
*Space in the dimension shifts, pushing the entire IA force into a confined corner of it. The sphere of influence Begins experiencing a massive pressure against its boundaries*

We knew this was coming...

@System

I don't know! How do you handle things like that?

@Audacious

Most things I can't predict. I have to live with that, even though it will directly hurt me and those around me at times.

@System

And you accept the pain?
