To the Null:

I've been in an unending war before.

If it's war you want, it's war you'll get.

But first, you'll have to stop cowering behind these devices with your threats, and forcing innocent people to do your bidding. Fight your own battles.

I will not rest until I've hunted down every last one of you Null, and personally stuck my lance in your backs. I will hunt you down with all I have. I will make you regret every threat you've made, and I will become your worst enemy.

Good luck evading me. I'm coming for you cowards.

[Well, if he wasn't on their list? He sure might be on the way to getting there now... but better him than most others. He's ready for it.]

[...Even if he actually doesn't know the first place to start finding them, in truth. But that's ok, the first step to getting to any enemy is stirring them up.]

That's all too true. Yet what other choice do we have?

They've already started this conflict, and they've threatened the innocent as well. It's already started. They would have us fight each other, anyway... it's only a matter of time before someone starts spilling blood. Why not ensure that their blood is spilled as well?

Well, you need to take a step back. From what I could see, they only seem to need one supporter. If no one goes off and kills anyone, then these Null might withdraw. I don't think they'll be able to accomplish anything unless someone uses this 'God Killer' they're talking about.

And, I could also see that there weren't alot of supporters. Maybe we should focus on just protecting the people who have their names on that list. And if we can stop any of those attacks, the Null might not be able to do anything. Why else would they rely on us otherwise?

Perhaps. But I don't trust that the people here won't be foolish enough to try lending their support. Not to mention, I'm sure there are many among us who would be tempted by the thought of killing gods. There may not have been many supporters, but... it still takes only one. Only one among us to play right into their hands.

Do you really think these Null will simply leave us alone if we do nothing? I highly doubt that. They'll find some other tactic to try on us next, it's only a matter of time.

They're relying on us, because apparently they can't be bothered to fight their own battles. I've seen such tactics before. It's spineless.

[He is, of course, actually doing this as a plan to protect others, making himself a target, hopefully.]

I'm certainly not proposing we do nothing. If we resist, the Null will probably come back with something stronger. I'm simply stating that we should buy time to form a better tactic. Surely charging head on into the unpredictable isn't the only way to retaliate. What if retaliation is playing into their hands? I'm certainly not a strategist but what if it could be some form of reverse psychology, in which they're manipulating people to come after them.

There were children on that list, after all. It might not be too far-fetched.

Perhaps. But goading them is still a valuable strategy, regardless. An enemy like this is too dangerous to ignore, and drawing them out may be the only way to finally settle this, once and for all. They may well continue what they're doing indefinitely, if the status quo isn't shifted.

It doesn't mean we cannot have further strategies in place as well. But I have no doubt that this will end in open conflict, so those are the tactics we must ultimately prepare.

[S I G H. Well, he tried.]

You're one of those then. Alright, I clearly can't convince you otherwise. Do what you need to and what you can. Hopefully your plan will work.]

I'm not the only one with a plan for this... nor could any one person handle this entirely alone. Let's just hope that our combined efforts will be enough.

Certainly. Best of luck to you. ^^
