<Snipped quote by Legend>

Urban legend sort of deal?

@Valiance

In a sense. Tier Five—
*Pauses*
Claims to reduce its presence as much as possible.

[GalaxyRaider]

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You have to take care of yourself.
*Buries my head in your shoulder*
Please. Please, please think about yourself.

@Techspert

In a way, I kind of am. I can't sleep well knowing people are still hurting. Help others, help myself, you know?
*Positions you so I can look you in the eyes*
The active danger is over. I can handle being tired, so you don't need to worry about me anymore.

@Legend

But they are known to exist? That guy seemed convinced.

@GalaxyRaider

You have to promise me. Promise me you're not going to give more than you have to give.

@Valiance

The organization's presence isn't a secret. Its footprint was too small to be relevant to most of Existence, given its relative size. Even when it possessed System control.

@Techspert

I can promise that easy. I never want to be in this position again. So you have my word.

@Legend

They could kick up some major dust at points when needed, though. And they did.

@GalaxyRaider

*Exhales, and my shoulders relax*
Okay... I trust you, you know.

@Audacious

Which is where several of its enemies sprung from.

@Techspert

I'm glad you still do. I just hope others do too.

@GalaxyRaider

*Furrows my brows*
Why wouldn't they?

@Legend

Not efficient enough to cover ever base in every nook and cranny?

@Techspert

I haven't talked to really anyone involved yet, but I was situationally anointed as the one in charge for a lot of it. And we lost a lot of good people, Rhythm...

@Valiance

I would describe it less of an army and more of a series of teams equipped for unique, targeted operations.

@GalaxyRaider

You're still here. You won. Everyone was willing to give up everything for this, and you were exactly who they needed.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

@Legend

I would just think one very important goal in any operation is to not leave people behind who would become threatening enemies in the future.

@Valiance

Perhaps the intent was that intimidation would suffice as a deterrent? That judgement call is beyond my parameters.

@Techspert

I just wish so many people didn't need to actually give up everything. Even just one less person.
*Sighs*
It could have been much worse, but it's such a weight to feel.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

@Legend

And I can't pretend I was there either.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@Valiance

In the scheme of Existence, surely there is another organization that, for instance, conducts targeted assassinations. I would be curious to see their methodology and successfulness.
