There has to be a way to save them, too. We have a lot of brilliant minds here among us. I am certain if anyone can figure out something, we can, because while I realize and have long accepted that being a Gospel means I may one day have to face my friends - I want to try and save them first.
From the day I acquired the label psychic, I was destined to provide a spectacularly rare talent to the Dragons.
Ten thousand vials. Come with me, or if you prefer, stay.
YOU REALIZE THIS ONLY LEAVES YOU TO BE ONE PERSON. YOU SHOULD TREAD MORE CAREFULLY, PILOT.
YOU ARE A WEAK BEING. YOU ARE A GOSPEL TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE HERE. THOSE WHO CAN NOT HELP THEMSELVES. HELP THEM FROM THE INSIDE. NOT TO RUN AWAY. LEAVE AND BE WEAK, WE DO NOT NEED YOU.
Hardly. Psionic sensitivity is a spectacularly rare ability, which leaves ... oh, the entire Citadel.
I don't have it in me to keep killing those I care about. While I share your willingness to work from the inside, I am not seeing a whole lot of benefit at the moment.
if we cannot stage a rebellion, our very purpose as Gospels is forfeit.
chimera. i do not see why we would purge me, who can be your greatest ally, from this. because i don't think running away is a good idea? does my presence anger you? do i threaten you? you are not a leader, chimera. sylph is not a leader. gospels have no real leader. the idea of a leader is there, in prophet, but they are gone.
i fail to understand why you would be dead. you think me a mole? or are you stupid?
a rebellion would get you and those who follow you, killed. do you think the upper caste hate being where they are? they flourish in it. it is a mindless paradise and they out number the pilots. you are not immortal. you may think you can use your psychic powers to deflect bullets, but you may miss a spot and get hit. you would die for what you believe in by the people you are trying to liberate. they may worship you now, but would they hesistate to kill you when their way of life is at stake?
indeed dragons have fragile electronic componints. limbs. hearts. easily damanged when it's standing there and you have a crobar or it lets you tweak with the emp armor so you can shut it down. after Provindence no dragon will let you touch them there. and quite a few can get into the lower levels, they can move about. not all the dragons are massive beasts that crush children under their feet. you did not do your homework, Pilot.
you may do what you like. you may try to rally all the pilots you can. you fail to remember though, to be a good pilot is to be a greater gospel.
the gospels are not an idea. the very fact you think they've done nothing shows your ignorance. they are not stupid like you. they know large changes do not happen when they are so closely watched by the beasts they are trying to betray. ...if you are a bad pilot you will get caught and executed like all the others. you are replaceable. you hold no special place in your dragons heart. they did that once and look where it brought us. they are as broken as you are, now.
once the dragons are gone the Pilots will be unable to function for quite a while. possibly suicidal. you are addicted to them. did you forget that?...remember. while some people wish to leave, most are content with what they have. even the lowest caste. you should be helping those who wish to be helped. not trying to destroy their home so you can get a sick satisfaction of being the one to orchestrate the downfall of the dragons and aedolis. ...carry on with your plan, Pilot, i look forward to hearing about your success.
The implications of this thread are troubling, and they should bother you too.
