[ attached to the top of this post is a sketch of hotspur, culled from one of his network posts. the real version is helpfully left in the oxygen gardens, somewhere high.

and visible. ]

Eternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create the heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those who soar through outer space.

There aren't many people who would rally around an invisible figure.

Good. I'm not the figurehead-- he is.

I did see.

But I know better than to rally behind someone who shows no one his face.

I never said I was the one people should rally behind.

Would it help to have a voice? You already know the face.

I think it's worth asking them. In person, if they don't mind an open forum for once.

Anonymity was never your forte.
I don't understand the sentiment behind it.
Situation like this, death was an inevitability.
It's not as if you two were chums.

So sue me, it was a rush job. Not bad for two hours work.
And we weren't.
But from what I could see he was a good man, and even an evil man doesn't deserve that end.
It's calculated, Mr. 'I'll Take That Spot on the List, Please'.
Think of it this way: if death is unavoidable, why not shake a few branches and see what tumbles down before succumbing to the inevitable.

So what, are we all on team smiley now? It's been warning us, right?

I wouldn't go that far.

[ Nice sentiment. Lousy delivery. If Hotspur didn't trust the network then Nathan sure as hell isn't replying to a post rallying the troops to--what, exactly? How is this any different to what they're already doing? Not believing anything, trying not to die; things he intended to do in the first place.

No, he has no interest in arbitrarily being thrown in the brig, thank you very much. Good luck with that. ]
