Never mind the demands you made of El before all this. While you were right to do so, we still managed to rally around the world and fight while the Displaced focused their attentions here. I'm grateful that New Amsterdam wasn't a tragedy, but the rest of the world is licking its wounds as a result. I'm not happy to see that.
But apparently proof is still needed, huh? One of the naysayers has been here since February. Guess we haven't proved enough to him yet.
Morningstar itself will never be the thing to generate trust in Morningstar amongst the Displaced, no matter what it does or what harm we do.
I didn't join because of all the good work Morningstar was doing. I didn't join because I was grateful for what they'd given me or saw a wonderful opportunity to give back. I didn't join because I felt guilty for what they'd lost or what you were having to put up with.
I joined because you and I chose to trust one another when we least had reason to do so. I believed in you. In your intentions, your motivations, your actions. Are you perfect? No. Do you always do or say the right thing? Obviously not. But I wasn't wrong to trust you, and I've never regretted the path it's walked me down.
It's going to take more than insistence, a company name and a raft of good deeds to persuade them to stop hunting for shadows and start looking at faces. It'll have to be people, if it's anything at all. Strangers, colleagues. Friends.
Your trip to Antarctica and these monsters attacking has me worried. They're connections I wouldn't see before. But I see them now because of you. Don't think I missed all that talk about reworking reality so things didn't happen. Where do we have a choice in that? Not much of one. Is it better that it comes from a group like yours than the UN and the corporations who spent hundreds of years shoring up power? I don't think so.
El and I don't let what you talk about get out, but the connections may start to show for other people. Keep an eye on it, and be wary of where you go.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid and my people have still gotta earn the trust of these people who don't live here and ignore the ones who are really getting fucked over by all of this. Who think they can rely on the others for an "objective" opinion, because somehow it'd be better.
How the fuck are my people gonna do good if we're seen as sweeping in in the aftermath to paint our logo? People I know died, and didn't get to medi-units in time. So, what then? The shit in Antarctica has causality, worryingly so. Believing that we're taking credit for the work we're actually doing but was done by someone else? That has no causality. They need to cut it out, because if it leaves beyond the network, there'll be a problem.
I didn't have a lot of time for blockbusters but they're implying Morningstar's leadership might be purposefully manipulating public opinion in order to eventually usurp power.

Fill me in on anything that's hidden under a stupid movie reference that I might need to know, if you can.

Don't answer that. I know they won't see it.
