[It's a nice, quiet day in Hadriel, at least as far as city-wide things go, but who knows how long that'll last. So Lance is taking advantage of it, both in terms of going out for a walk to get some fresh air and also making a post on the network; he has something important to talk about, after all.]
Hello everyone. I'd like to preface what I'm about to ask by saying that I understand some here may have concerns regarding speaking about this subject over the network, and so if you would prefer to talk in person I'm willing to meet with you.
[Another reason it being a nice day is helpful.]
I'm interested in hearing opinions on the issue of the Null that posted to the network a few weeks ago. In such a complicated situation it's difficult to consider all information and every possibility, and the people here have such vastly different experiences that can lead to unique conclusions and insights. The more ideas and reasons we all have to consider, the better informed our choices can be.
[Including, potentially, ideas of what to do about the situation other than the obvious two of 'kill it' or 'let it live happily ever after'.]
If you were not here for the last battle with the Null your opinion is just as important as those of the people who were present, as you're providing a viewpoint that, although lacking in specific experience, makes up for it with objectivity.
[In other words, they may not have a personal grudge against the Null that affects their opinions.]
I'd also like to note that this is all completely voluntary, and if you don't want to share your opinion that's fine; I'm just interested in hearing what people think and why, particularly due to experience and insight I may not have on a subject like this. Additionally, individuals who are still undecided in where they stand could benefit from hearing points and arguments they may not have had a chance to consider before.
Thank you.
[Considering this is such a serious topic, it can't hurt to be a little extra polite when asking people to do something potentially dangerous, right?]

no subject
[Crashing in random places is legit, okay.]
no subject
[And he'll have to talk to her about the apartment situation, because she must've been here almost a month already--at the very least--and so really should have a place by now. But that can wait for the moment, at least.]
SURE DID LOSE THIS NOTIF
[And she is! She's pretty hard to miss with all that bright red hair.]
People don't trust the network around here, do they?
NO EXCUSES
It's less not trusting the network in general, and more than this is an issue we need to take care not to let the gods find out about. They don't seem to watch the network that closely, but they can and so it would be careless to assume they won't see.
[Even though Lance thinks they probably already have a lot of information. Still, no need to add more to it.]
WOW LISTEN
So, you wanted to talk?
n e v e r
[Might as well just get right to it.]
I agree with you, on what to do and why. I think finding this Null is the best chance we have to figure out a new way of dealing with the conflict here; it's obvious that the way the gods want to do things isn't working, and it's only a matter of time before the Null attack us again.
