Hmm, it seems there's a way to limit the recipients of these transmissions.

[He pauses. Oh, it's already transmitting.]Hello, warriors of Chaos. I am Kurtis. I'd like to suggest a few guidelines for using these crystals

So Cosmos is the enemy. If what I've gathered is true, then none of them are "bad people." But they are still enemies.

Unfortunately, that may be the case. Even good people can be misguided sometimes.

Misguided...

Who exactly is "misguided?" Them or us?

That's a good question.

I know I did something terrible in the past that led to me becoming a prinny. In life I was probably a villain. But we all have to make large decisions with very few memories and observations. I want to believe that at heart I'm a good person. I have no reason to trust Cosmos or her followers, or even my allies with Chaos. The only person I can trust is myself.

[Kain doesn't plan to report to anyone where he's going, but he bites his tongue on the disagreement, to hone in on what interests him more.]

You know Terra?

[The man in dragon armor. Exdeath had called him a traitor.]

Yes. Somehow one of my few memories is of her.

[bound_skyward]

Mine as well... She's no enemy of mine.

[So he had turned against Chaos in the past.]

There must be a way to win the war without killing everyone on the other side.

[Kurtis is a little troubled by this. His instincts pull him in two different directions. One tells him to protect her, even if it endangers the others. The other tells him that the greater good is most important]

That's what I was afraid of. I guess it's too much to ask you to protect an enemy.

[He pauses. He doubts he could convince Terra to help Chaos. How could he ask her to trust him when he knew he'd done terrible things as a human?]

I suppose nothing can be done. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

Then I'll have to hope she doesn't get in your way. We have to work together to win this war, I can't afford to turn against my allies to protect my enemies, even if they shouldn't be my enemies.

I don't trust that girl, and nor should you. She aided a man who betrayed me.

[Even if he said he'd give Kain another chance to prove himself, Cecil doesn't yet trust him or anyone associated with him. Least of all someone on the enemy side.]

[38thdefender]

This man who betrayed you... Would it be the man in dragon armor?

[video / filter]

[hallowedlight]

Yes. You know of him?

[video / filter]

[38thdefender]

Exdeath warned me about him. He also called him a traitor.

Are you a penguin?

A prinny, actually. When a sinful human dies, their soul is placed in a body like this until they pay for their sins.

[He answers that automatically. Almost as if he's answered that question many times before. It occurs to him that he might want to keep that a secret, but it's too late now.]

[chainlink]

[A soul in body that wasn't his. In a way Namine would relate to that.]

Do you think that's why you've been called here?

It could be. We seem to be playing the "villain" role in this battle. But maybe it takes a bad person to do what needs to be done in this world...
