There are different clans back home, I guess you could say. Thirteen of them. Mine was Skaikru. When we speak of our people, we mean our clan. The people we fight for. Obviously, the lines are a little more blurred than that. When you're a leader, you do what you can for them.
[Even if you're no longer a part of them. Clarke is all too aware of the division, especially given the separation now.]
We should have focused on what you're suggesting from the start, but I think most of us are typically in the position of being privileged when it comes to this kind of information.
[After all, she had brought it up. If not her, maybe someone close to her?] I'm sure it's difficult to coalesce personal feelings with the concept of what would be best for the whole, regardless of what part in the system you play.
I appreciate the encouragement. It's just difficult to decide on actions to take in regards to it. From what I understand, there's very little to go off of, so it makes sense for us to grasp at anything we can that lets us feel as though we're making progress.
I was. Some of those habits are hard to break here, but I know that no one has a reason to trust in what I can do.
[Can accomplish, at that. Clarke is confident in what she's managed in her time back home, but that was in a very different situation. All she can hope is to guide these people away from that. They're few in number—which, right now, is the biggest and most notable parallel. Few in number means that they may be able to unite, or they may be able to clash in a way that could be detrimental to any and all progress.
In Clarke's opinion, recent events have left them standing on a precipice for both.]
I will say that we have made progress. But I think we do better when we approach problems knowing that this world can't resolve them, rather than believing that we are at the heart of them. That's an observation through experience in being here.
I have to ask, because ... well, it has to be out there.
Do you think one of us could potentially be the leak?
They may not have a reason just yet, but if you continue, they'll certainly have a reason to. In my experiences, those who act like leaders will naturally draw the respect and attention needed to continue. People oftentimes need assertion and guidance, to an extent.
For what it's worth, your quick actions in giving us all a place to coordinate on Morningstar's network helped make our recovery efforts far more cohesive. I doubt as much would have been accomplished without that.
[He doesn't know her well at all-- only her words on the network. But she seems committed and decisive. Good traits.]
Honestly, I doubt one of us would be in a position to have given that information to the UNA. It would have required having access to Morningstar's contacts and addresses and the knowledge of the specifics of the raid on the weapon's cache. If any of us have that level of information, I'd be very surprised. I'd also wonder just what that individual stood to gain, from it.
Morningstar seems as though it's been very cautious in regards to what's shared with us. Of course, we can't rule it out completely, but I don't feel that it's likely one of our own was the origin.
They're reluctant even with those who have decided to join up. Likely with good reason. If the UNA is this swift to act, anyway. I think we can guess how things would have gone down if we weren't there to intervene.
As it is, I mostly wanted to ask your thoughts on that. If you have any others, let me know.
And thank you, both for what you said first and for your input on Aranea. It's helpful.
[One response about a roommate and it seems like a solid one.
You're welcome. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll admit to not being the most knowledgeable here just yet, but I'm always willing to discuss these matters.
If you do choose to have her move in, I'm sure I'll be conscripted into helping her move what possessions she has. I suppose I'll possibly see you then.
If you have any questions about what's happened to us up to this point, I should be able to help. I don't have as much multiversal knowledge or experience as other people here, but I'm beginning to think that's not actually helping anyone.
