I'm sure you've all read the call to resistance against the Magistrate tonight.

Whoever wrote that stressed that is to be a non-violent protest, and I'm pleased to hear it. The Magistrate's actions are wrong, there's no doubt about that, but retaliating with violence isn't going to help. [Not yet.]

Please, be sensible tonight.

I think I'll stay in, just to avoid getting fireworks shot at me.

[Jim nods, smiling again.] Who'd want to do that to a lovely nurse like you?

[rightawaydoctor]

I dunno. I guess people around here who don't realize just how lovely I am.

[a mock-tragic sigh] Probably for the best. Can't have anyone stealing our Head Nurse.

[Also good, because if things turn ugly and she's needed, she should be all right.]

[In the same mock tone, she answers,] I am irreplaceable.

[Then, more serious.]

What do you think's gonna happen with this new Magistrate? Think she'll be overthrown? Or, better yet, think she should be?

... I don't know.

I'd like to think she'll back down on these policies, now that people are voicing their opinions. Until we know how she reacts, I don't want to make that call.

Yeah. People seem to think they'll know how she'll react, which will be to tighten her hold even more, but I'm with you on the wait and see thing. I can't throw my support to either side at this point.
