Ninth Ride

[gorgeous_gorgon]

[Rider is incredibly pissed right now. But at the same time, she knows exactly what Grady is trying to do -- turn the people who did not take part in the rioting against those who did. And Rider is, if anything, pragmatic about such serious situations.]

Now we have an irate police chief we must deal with. In the future, think before acting

I admit, the planning of this...event wasn't done very well, but risks must be taken if we're going to find out anything. We can't just remain in a stand still forever.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

I understand that risks need to be taken. But this was not only beyond idiotic, but futile.

[eldest_hatter]

Perhaps. But we have gather new information that we might not have otherwise.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Like what?

[versus_virus]

Something happened, hm?

[Said in a dry tone somewhere between "oh *now* what?" and "oh great. No, really, fantastic."]

[gorgeous_gorgon]

A recent arrival?

Many of the people here decided to incite a riot. All they succeeded in doing was getting themselves brainwashed and angering the authorities.

[versus_virus]

... Yeah. How did you know?

Hm. Is this the first time that's happened? The riots or the brainwashing, either one.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

The rioting would have been difficult to miss.

This is the first time that a riot was caused by non-drones. The brainwashing, however, is quite common.

[supersizedpower]

You're wrong.

We did something important. It's worth the danger.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Explain how a human typhoon is important.

[supersizedpower]

Not over the phone.

I'll explain in person, but because I don't mind giving explanations. Not because you demanded or because I'm concerned about being 'disciplined.'

With all due respect, ma'am, you should find out what's going on before threatening people who put their well being on the line in a war.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...Very well. Come to 771 Bunker Street. I will await you on the front porch.

[wizardoftheweek]

... Do you fear that man?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...

Not enough to frighten me into inaction.

[wizardoftheweek]

... I see.

[spacepeach]

M-Miss Rider...

Everyone meant well, really.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, MOMO.

[spacepeach]

But... what else can we do?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Act intelligently. Poorly-thought out plans will only make matters worse.
