Chapter 025 | Rumors of War?

[vitative]

Physical confrontation against the leaders of the town is not the best course of action. Many members of the towns non-drone population are not battle trained, and I have heard rumors that physical uprising has caused the town to take steps to assure that everyone was punished. Just as in normal war, Everyone would be affected by such an attack,

In the worst case, we're facing an eternity of imprisonment. I'd consider group punishment an acceptable risk.

[vitative]

The chances of success are minimal, and the risks are high. I do not want to risk my friends' health through starvation. All other options should be explored before physical combat..

Unlimited continues. They can't take anything away that we can't afford to lose.

Death is an unpleasant experience. We do not know how far the town will continue to resurrect us. It has always done so, so far, but there is a chance in the future that it will stop. I will not have my friends paying for the actions of others. Not again.

That time, they punished us all because we kept trying to steal our stuff back from the convenience store. If that got us starved for a week, I dunno what any physical attacks might cause.

There is a chance it could do as much damage as the Red Asian Flu. ... I do not want to see my friends die again.

[kaitopants]

... you and me both, Aigis-san.

I do not think he will attack you again.

[eldest_hatter]

I quite agree.

[vitative]

If it was possible to accomplish our goals through physical force, they would have been accomplished long before now.

[eldest_hatter]

Exactly. There is just so much we don't know about this place and who runs it, that it would be foolish to attack.

[vitative]

Thank you for seeing logic. We will have to find another way.

[stop_it_tewi]

... I agree with you completely.

It doesn't look like any sort of effort is needed at all for them to just brainwash somebody...

[vitative]

And the length of a brainwashing could be as little as a few hours, or it could span on for months... some of us who have been brainwashed have not returned yet. It is a risk I am not willing to take. Akihiko-san has scolded me for "making up stories."

[stop_it_tewi]

Y-yeah... ... Tewi is still a...

...

U-uhm, what about you, Aigis-san? Are you feeling better?

[hop_toit_udonge]

Hmm... well said.
