[video] rebel without a cause

[mister_hatter]

What an exciting week!

In light of all the discussion, Adstringendum, let's chat- who would you trust to nominate as ombudsman?

[kyasdaughter]

No one person.

[mister_hatter]

Really? I have a few people I'd trust.

[kyasdaughter]

No. I meant - I wouldn't elect a single person to make any sort of choice. No one is completely impartial.. especially not with as many people in this place who can influence moods or use all-out mind-control.

[mister_hatter]

That isn't really what this position would require, but the mind control is a good point.

[kyasdaughter]

It's hard to trust anyone, and it's worse when the Animus are part of it. Most of the time we don't even know that things aren't normal.

[mister_hatter]

Unpleasant, but the alternative might be worse.

[kyasdaughter]

The alternative being?

[mister_hatter]

Having no recourse.

[kyasdaughter]

Why does it matter to you?

[It's not in attacking tones. She's simply, openly, curious.]

[mister_hatter]

This is my home.

[kyasdaughter]

Mine, too.

It'd be nice to have some sort of justice here.

[mister_hatter]

Katara, I've worked in agencies like the one they're proposing for longer than you've been alive. The path they're on right now has nothing to do with justice.

[kyasdaughter]

What?

-- oh. I don't know any of the details, Break. I've been sort of.. preoccupied, I guess, with other things. What are they trying to do?

[mister_hatter]

Establish a police force.

[kyasdaughter]

You think it'd be bad.

[mister_hatter]

I think it has the potential to be very good, or very evil.
