✤ II. (VOICE;)

[How long has it been since the former King of Light last addressed the public at large? Too long. Regis had resigned himself to silence when this fiasco begun and held steadfast to his silence until now. For those who know of him and remember the Caelum, Regis isn't the type to speak much in regards to the matters of Hadriel. He's not king here. It would make no sense for him to speak since this is not his kingdom nor his subjects but many of the people here, he deems as friends. They are friends and colleagues he's come to respect over the long months, many of which he honestly cherish like members of his own family.

That's why he speaks after holding onto his silence for so long. He knows he must do so in hopes of warding the chaos that is bound to brew. Unfortunately, this might spark quite the debate.

Do not be so quick to cut off your noses in spite of your face. [His tone is stern and sincere without a hint of mirth.] Your desperation will lead you to sorrow if you act with haste.

We mustn't fall prey to their schemes. If they seek a life, let them take it. We are not mere pawns to used as butchers.

[He's being quite cryptic & vague for a reason. Be mindful in how you answer. Regis is aware that certain 'people' might be listening.]

[She nods along at what he says every now and then. Since she is still new here, she places some degree of value on the information that others have to offer, if they have been here longer -- not that value in this sense can be measured in any way, but still.]

I am in agreement. We have more data on our captors available to us than these inorganic beings. [...can they really be called beings if-- no. Now is not the time for philosophy. Furthermore, she prefers hard science.] To accept what is offered to us by a source we do not truly know would be foolish. However, many people are foolish. It is unfortunate.

[She no longer seems amused. This is about life and death, and she places far too much value on life to laugh in the face of such a threat. The gravity of the situation has become too much over the course of this exchange. They really could die here.]

We must discover the best option before we make a decision that may doom all of us.
