...I'm sorry for the actions we were forced to take. I'm not pleased with running out on you all, but we honestly didn't have a choice.

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what exactly happened while we were gone.

I also hope that these... gifts, I suppose, find you well.

Army men stormed into the city. I believe they set off a bomb at the fish market, They then demanded all of our food, the atropos vaccine, and some kind of machine.

[exaudio]

I can understand their demands... Why did they destroy that area?

[rogue_scion]

I do not know. I do not know if it was connected with the bomb, or something you did, but shortly after it went off, there were reports of people not being able to use their 'powers'.

[exaudio]

...Oh.

That would make sense. With all the deaths...

I'm so sorry.

[exaudio]

Q. A... Scientist.

I believe we've met before, Mr. Denmark.

[exaudio]

What? Is something the matter?

[gallantgoggles]

It was awful! All those soldiers came here and they killed so many people.

...Are you one of the scientists I keep hearing about?

[exaudio]

I've heard. I'm so sorry for that.

Yes, I am. People call me Q.

[gallantgoggles]

Doing something like that... I don't think I can ever understand it.

Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Takato.

...You seem a lot nicer than I thought you would be.

[exaudio]

We're not monsters.

...Well, at least most of us aren't.

[Here's looking at you, Holden.]

From what I've been told by several people, Hollisland stormed the city, killing people left and right while in search for medication and food, as well as a machine of some sort.

What do you know about Hollisland?

[exaudio]

Thank you.

Hollisland is... A sort of traditional enemy. We've never been on good terms-- Discedo and Hollisland, I mean.

[notonroids]

You're welcome.

Not a friendly bunch, huh? How often did they attack before?

[exaudio]

We were always at some sort of odds, before the fall. Guns aimed and ready to fire, if you know what I mean.

[medanmyboy]

....

[Merrrrr.]

I'd appreciate it if some sort of explanation was given.

[exaudio]

...There isn't much to explain. With their technology, we would have been found and killed if we stayed.

[medanmyboy]

[He sighs.]

You didn't even give us a warning, child.

[exaudio]

I apologize. There was no time.
