Ω → seven [audio; open to action]

Promethius defied the Gods by granting a boon to humanity, and was condemned to death for his compassion.

[ A pause. He's been scarce lately. But with how deadpan his voice is, one thing that always gives him away is the soft music playing in the background. Opera. Specifically, Richard Wagner. And today's choice is oddly appropriate. ]

It appears to be a running theme all throughout history: No good deed going unpunished. No hero that, in time, is denied martyrdom. I often wonder why this one lesson is routinely ignored. But, now, perhaps, I see why. Human nature requires inspiration before it begins to to act upon its desires.

Perhaps now this performance will enter its final act.

[He sighs tiredly, leaning up against the doorframe]

And what event triggered this, if I might ask? You mentioned a martyr.

[action]

[oforder]

Have you heard of Dax?

[action]

[relinquishing]

[There's a slow nod, Guy already gaining some clarity over his expression.]

Yeah. He's the administrator who was killed.

What about him?

[action]

[oforder]

Do you draw no parallels between what I said over the network, and what I am saying now?

[action]

[relinquishing]

Of course I do. Dax is your intended hero, the martyr who you believe was sacrificed for his good deeds.

What I don't understand is what you think something like that is supposed to inspire.

[action]

[oforder]

What I think it is supposed to inspire is irrelevant. What it is inspiring is what I find most interesting.

His posture straightens a bit, an ankle crossing over the opposite leg.]

You mean the people talking of revolution?

[oforder]

It will not be the first time that it has been attempted within the Tower. The only difference now is the motivation.

[action]

[relinquishing]

I guess not. Blood's been spilled, after all. No one's just going to forgive that. Especially not if they had a connection with Dax.

So instead of simple escape... I wouldn't be surprised if people are now seeking justice. Or revenge.

[action] Inbox must have eaten this notif :<

[oforder]

It would be fruitless.

[action] That's fine!

[relinquishing]

Mmm. Because of the Administration?

Or are the feelings themselves not meant for much?

[action]

[oforder]

While the motivations have changed, this is, at its core, just another attempt at overthrowing the administrators. Even if they are done under different circumstances, they are simply trying the same thing again, and are desiring different results.

They should try a different method to achieve their goal. Violence has failed time and time again.

[action]

[relinquishing]

Yeah. And violence is the first reaction that a lot of people are going to rely on.

I'd like to think there's some gems out there that are different, though. People who want change and want to play it smart. They just need to speak up.

[action]

[oforder]

Human behavior is incredibly easy to to predict. It is unfortunate, but they appear unwilling to explore other avenues of success.

[action]

[relinquishing]

I'm sorry. Call me biased, but I'd have to disagree with you.
