[Maria sat in the dining cart, enjoying a sandwich and some soup. She was glad the train was moving again. It had seemed strange having so many people (one person specifically) gone from the train for so long and now that they were back things felt a little more right ( Read more... )

[Walks into the dining cart, studying the food.]

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 02:14:24 UTC

[Looks over briefly at the unfamiliar face. It seemed to her like a lot of people had shown up recently.]

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 12:19:05 UTC

Echo has never seen so much free food.

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 21:19:02 UTC

More seems to show up every day somehow.

Echo.. Is that your name?

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 21:26:45 UTC

That's weird.
[Is still a bit skeptical.]

Yes. Echo doesn't recognize you.

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 21:29:29 UTC

It's strange, but it's better than not eating, believe me.

My name is Maria Ross. Did you just arrive recently?

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 21:36:44 UTC

Very recently. But Echo doesn't plan to stay long.

Apparently, the conductor is an obstacle that must be removed. Is that right?

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 21:38:47 UTC

[Maria tilted her head a bit, then frowned.]

Excuse me? What do you mean by "removed"?

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 21:43:40 UTC

Echo was told she won't allow us to leave.

That means, to kill her, or otherwise remove her from power.
[Says so as if it's obvious]

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 22:07:58 UTC

I'm afraid I can't allow that.

I'm not sure if she even has the power to send us home, several of us do not want or cannot go home, and beyond any of that it is immoral and illegal to commit murder and I will not allow it.

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 22:18:00 UTC

A peaceful method would be fine too.
[...But probably more of a hassle.]
But Echo needs to return to Master Vincent.

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 22:19:45 UTC

Then it is best that you discuss it with the conductor.

I am sure there are several people here who feel they need to get home, but I am morally obligated to keep the peace here as long as I am aboard.

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 22:21:53 UTC

Why? Did you come here on purpose?

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 22:27:17 UTC

No, not on purpose, but I am grateful that I ended up here due to the circumstances where I'm from.

I may be trying to appear more 'civilian' than 'soldier' these days but it doesn't change the way I think.

quiet_resonance June 21 2009, 22:47:55 UTC

Understood. Echo will respect you if you don't interfere with my negotiating.

phoenix_soldier June 21 2009, 22:50:20 UTC

As long as you do not attempt to harm anyone, I'll have no reason to step in.
