[video] unresolved issues
[ From the gaming car, it's Kaiba. He's taken to tying his orange hoodie around his waist and popping the collar of his orange polo, in an effort to maintain the dramatic silhouette he loves so much. ]
Does it bother anyone else that the only glue holding this tiny slice of society together is the fact that we're trapped in a claustrophobia-inducing tin can rattling through the interdimensional void?
Think about it. We're from all walks of life. All different social structures. Predators and prey, haves and have-nots, all together and brought down to size. Homogenous societies themselves don't have a great track record of avoiding division and war, so the only thing keeping our tiny tube afloat and relatively at peace is the fact that there's no escape should we cause a big enough disruption.
Can alliances forged under these conditions truly be called genuine? Is it really what you call friendship, if such a thing exists? Or family? Would you accept someone who would be your enemy in any other circumstance? Who's committed unforgivable acts, and is still capable of doing so? Somehow I doubt it.

All I'm saying is that having people around you who need you as much as you need them, whether or not you like each other, maybe not such a bad thing. Could be very helpful, and you might even make some friends.

I've always relied on myself. Never had friends, and I wasn't planning to start now. But if I need to cooperate to make the missions more efficient, I'll do it.

That's gotten you far, has it? I understand the need to keep things under control and not put important things in the hands of people you don't trust... but you'd be surprised at the ways that people can impress with skills you weren't aware of.
But I'm glad you're keeping an open mind about it. It's a good start.

Do you know what caused that?

It's inelegant and I hate it.

Almost feels like we're in a fishbowl.
