Um… Excuse me, Mister Warden, but if you’re reading this, could you send me back? I know you must be busy and all with a war happening, but I don’t want to make my friends worry

Love does not win wars. It is likely diplomacy has already failed.

[proudlovefreak]

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try again!

[tin_miss]

Destroying the enemy would be more efficient. It would also be more likely to be effective.

[proudlovefreak]

That's terrible, though! Wouldn't you rather end this without having to fight or hurt anyone?

[tin_miss]

It is?

No. I simply wish to hasten my departure.

[proudlovefreak]

I want to leave, too, but that doesn't mean we have to hurt people to do it!

[tin_miss]

It is very likely that we will. It is also very likely that they will hurt you. War is violent.

[proudlovefreak]

If that happens, then I will fight to protect myself and my friends!

[tin_miss]

Destroying your adversary in advance of their own attack is the best way to keep them from harming you.

[proudlovefreak]

I don't want to hurt them before they have a chance to explain themselves.

[tin_miss]

If you managed to capture one, perhaps explanations could be extracted. That is a good idea. It might give insight into their tactics.

[proudlovefreak]

Will you help me, then?

[tin_miss]

Yes. If you capture one, I will help you. It is likely I will have to adapt my interrogation protocols to account for the nonhuman nature of these entities, however. I do not know if they will be greatly effective.

[proudlovefreak]

We'll figure out a way to get it to talk! I'm sure once we get to know them, they won't be so bad.

[tin_miss]

Judging based on the data made available on this communications device, they are hostile entities bent on the destruction of everyone within this compound. It would be best to be cautious in planning, and anticipate the worst.

[proudlovefreak]

I don't think we need to believe that unless we see how they act for ourselves.
