[Kyoko appears on the screen. She's obviously shaken by the last pair of network posts that preceded hers, but more than that, she's really pissed off (or, more likely, she's turned her fear and confusion into anger.)]

What the Hell was that? That girl..she just ate her own companion, didn't she? She just ate him like he was piece of meat! Even though he hadn't done a single thing wrong...! What the Hell does she mean, "rotten!?" The only thing rotten here is her!

[She clenches her teeth and reaches to end the feed, then suddenly stops. She didn't really care about Dax, but she thinks, probably, he was the only one she came close to liking, but more than that? It's infuriating to see someone betray their companion like that.]

Ruana! You're watching to this, aren't you!? So why don't you show yourself already! Tell us all about how you used to pray to keep your soul while going around and stealing everyone else's. That's the real point of all this, right!? You were never interested in saving anyone to begin with!

Seriously, whatever the Hell it means to lose your Tower in this place, you deserve it! Denying people even death, stuffing them into bodies that they don't want and killing them just for fun, doing things like that to your own companions--I hope somebody years your heart and soul out, you disgusting waste of space. Nobody here needs your kind of salvation.

As for the rest of you, I could care less about what you think of this post. If you ain't got anything useful to say, don't even bother.

Yeah. I dunno how we'd do something like that though. It'd probably be dangerous. It's not like we even have one less person to worry about now, 'cause Dax was the only one that bothered to try and help us.

Use her lack of empathy against her, huh...I guess that's as good of a start as any. Lots of people think that emotions are pretty powerful or whatever.

[Powerful enough, at least in her world, to counteract entropy.]

It probably would be dangerous..and Dax is gone..but maybe that just means we have to help ourselves. Make miracles without a god, if that makes any sense.

And emotions are pretty powerful! After all, in A Wrinkle In Time, the brain that didn't understand love was defeated by it.

It's just like they say, God helps those who helps themselves.

Don't think I've been able to pick that one up yet. I guess it makes sense though. You've gotta know your enemy in order to defeat it, right? It'd be pretty hard to take on something you didn't understand at all.

[Although that's exactly what they're doing.]

Exactly!

You really should. It's a wonderful story. And you're right..it is hard to attack something that you don't understand, even just a little bit.

[She's starting to calm down a little, now. At least enough to realize the error in talking about this on the network.]

I guess this probably isn't the place to be discussing plans of attack. I'm sure she's watching right along with the rest of them.

I don't care if she knows about my intentions, but as for the rest of it...don't you think we should both try and play our cards close to the vest?

[Tohko knew the error of that already.]

That's why I've tried to avoid going into specific details. But you are right..if we're going to discuss this, we have to do it somewhere else.
