You left me to die.

Of course I do not enjoy such a thing. But placing blame on those who had no part or control in what happened to us does little help in changing what has already happened.

It's something that I've learned through my own experiences with death.

[invasif]

Who else had control in that situation. It was us. None of us are to be absolved.

[juniberries]

None of us are to be blamed, either.

[says the girl who probably still suffers from Survivor's Guilt even though she died this time around.]

[invasif]

You are naive. We do not walk through life blameless for our choices.

[juniberries]

I am speaking of what happened to us on the ship, not the entirety of our lives.
But when we make mistakes, I find it best to learn and grow from them, not to be consumed with bitterness and ill feelings towards others.

[and then, because she is getting a bit riled up by this, she gives herself another tick to gather her thoughts.]

I understand the hurt you feel, but you are not alone.
We are a team. A team that was met with very unfortunate circumstances.

[ LOL NOW WHO IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. ]

I have learned from each of these excursions that the rest of you can be relied upon for nothing.

[juniberries]

[hhhh...]

Well, it is unfortunate you feel that way.
Regardless, all of us here in the Circle are a team. Or, at least, that is how I feel we are meant to be.

[invasif]

Then perhaps we should begin to act like one.

[juniberries]

We do need to figure out a way in which we all come together.
Where I come from, my team and I created a Coalition, where groups came together for a common goal much like the supposed goal Astoria wants: to bring peace throughout the galaxy.

But the Coalition was made up of many different groups, each with their own leaders. Here, we remain severely mismanaged.

[invasif]

Then I will rely on you in the future, to unify our efforts.
