Yo~

So I've been kinda thinking that in light of the shit that just went down, maybe I'd sign up with the military. I've got a pretty sweet gig monster hunting, but it just doesn't feel like it has any meaning, you know? I've trained for this shit (the military) pretty much my whole life, so I figure they could use me. I’ve been here for like a year now and I kinda figure that if I was brought here for a reason, this is probably it.

I was just wondering if anyone else here has had much contact with these guys. What are your impressions? Have you signed up already? How's the pay, and do they seem decent to you? Any spectacularly hot babes I should know about?

That's it. That's the message. Thanks for your time.

Don't take this the wrong way, Gideon, but from what little you've told me, it sounds like the only reason you weren't blowing each other up, is because you were all working for the same guy.

But whoever your Necrolord Prime was under all the titles and bullshit, there isn't a ruler in existence who wants to deal with his dogs biting each other, especially when he's keeping them around so that they can bite someone else.

[Might makes right is the law of nature; that doesn't make it right, fair, or the best way of organizing things... but it does so very often make things functional, where they otherwise would not consent to be.]

Biggest badass with the most guys working for him sets down the rules, and anyone who doesn't fall in line gets put in line. In a perfect world that would mean army against army; and since Cadens is gonna have the biggest and best equipped, not to mention more Summoned actually cooperating with them, we're gonna have the advantage. But let's say that something like Thorne's leadership doesn't like their odds, so: they figure, they'll bomb civilian centers. It does a lot of damage and makes it hard to bring the army's force to bear against them in return.

But it means asking their guys to commit an act of terrorism. It's just murder, for political reasons. You think there's nobody on your world who'd kill for an advantage, if they thought they could get away with it?

Lots of bastards in the world, Gideon. You can bitch about it, or you can get off your ass and be one of the people who're doing something about it. I know where I stand, but you're young enough to still be making the choice. Let me know which way you fall.
