All right, guys. I guess you probably already know where this is going. I managed to catch Delight before she could get out of here, so now we just have to decide what to do with her. Needless to say, we can't agree, and anyway what she did hurt you guys just as much as it did us.

So this decision is gonna be up to you. Obviously there are some options that aren't available - we're not just gonna let her go free. That would be pretty dumb, right? But a lot of us don't want the more extreme options, either.

We'll tell you how we feel in a reply to this. Think about it yourselves, and vote. You'll have about a week to decide.

Man. This sucks.

Fair enough. Final technicality question: She gets exiled. Do we move again and leave her behind? Do we shoot her out of a cannon into space, shove her through the door?

[ That one might be a mercy or a death sentence itself, depending on the execution. ]

Some of us would take her somewhere and leave her there. She'd be able to get in contact with the Null, probably, but she wouldn't be able to find her way back to us.

[ Philip taps his pen into his hand. That's too vague, that doesn't tell him-- Never mind, he can't think of a way to probe that wouldn't be utterly blunt. The next question though, he doesn't mind so much: ]

That's something to work with. So here's something on a personal note: Since you're all running the show here, and your opinions are split, how likely is our vote going to get us on somebody's shit list?

Honestly?

Mostly we don't care much about you as individuals. The angry ones kind of all blur together. I know they think they're sticking it to the man by yelling at us, but we hear it so much we don't really take any notice of it. The only ones who stand out are the ones who help us out or seem real cool.

So nobody's gonna notice your vote. Or care about one individual vote, unless maybe you promised them you'd vote one way and then you didn't.

[ He huffs a soundless laugh. That's. Well, that's more forward than the replies he's used to getting. Might just buy that it's the truth, too. ]

I'll take your word for that. Right then, thanks for the rundown.
