XXI. A struggle for existence...? [Voice][Public]

[dragon_of_wei]

[-Speaking very quietly-]

Truly a phenomenon to be feared...but we should not be so hasty to claim this as the beginning of the end.

...Hm, the day Reial actually forms such a unity between it's people is the day the end will finally come.

If there is a bigger threat than man looming within our skies, then the time to act would be sooner than later.

[edge_of_honor]

Well, at least somebody here is still rational. It's certainly a relief from prophecies of gloom and doom and cries of panic.

[dragon_of_wei]

The panic is to be expected but all of this doom and gloom was not something I desired to face today when I read the news. This is becoming ridiculous...

[edge_of_honor]

While I suppose such reactions are only human, they still aren't what I'd call satisfactory. Fear may be a natural response, but I'd hope my fellow man would be able to rise above such panicked instincts.

[dragon_of_wei]

As I have seen so far, you have every right to be disappointed in your fellow man as of now.

[date_with_death]

You are correct. But if people are not careful, it could BECOME that way...

[Voice]

[dragon_of_wei]

Spar me from any unnecessary rhetoric you may wish to share with me.
I trust the general public simply overacting because what has happened was so horribly dreadful.

[Voice]

[stoneface_vimes]

Hmph. Anytime anything dramatic happens, the nuts and doom-mongers end up coming out in force. Nothing you can say's going to stop that.

Nice to see that people aren't all flapping about like headless chickens, though.

[-Chuckles lightly-]

I am well aware of that fact, Commander...but it doesn't hurt to try.

[conqueror_bofu]

So what do you think's up?

[dragon_of_wei]

I am unsure...

I am unsure if this is merely a natural phenomenon or an attack against all of Reial. I am simply unsure.

[conqueror_bofu]

Someone's got to do something to find out, though, right? It won't do us any good to just sit here wondering about it...

[dragon_of_wei]

We must await our orders, Major! Do not think about doing anything until we hear a word from Parliament. Let's be hopeful that they shall wish to act swiftly during such a national crisis.
