[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?]

Re: Action
Think they'd take people out or something?
Action
[It's an understatement, but that's okay. As for her question he hesitates a moment, shifting on his feet briefly.]
I don't think they'd kill anyone, but they wouldn't have to. Considering what they can do to us during events, I think it's more likely they would attempt to find out what they want to know that way.
[And while most of the events that have occurred while he's been here haven't been especially horrific, he's heard stories of other things that have happened in the past and who knows how creative the gods might get in the future.]
Re: Action
[ She grimaces at the concept, fully aware that it's pretty much the most realistic option. They wouldn't kill them, no, but they'd probably find a way to make them pay while getting something to feed off of.]
That sucks. It's so weird, they're all so-- the put up this act like they're the ones doing it but they have so, so we shouldn't blame them for this stuff. Like a dang forced Stockholm Syndrome play.
Action
[But his tone, which he doesn't bother to hide, indicates he thinks she's exactly right. He just wasn't expecting someone else to hit upon the particular specific idea.]
People here seem to forget they're not on our side, even if we might have a common enemy in the Null.
Re: Action
When everything gets ripped out from under your feet, you might get a little desperate for the good things, you know?
[ She crosses her arms, thinking for a moment.]
But we better handle one thing at a time. With...what we know. Which isn't much.
