Three things.
The first. I'm requesting if you know anyone of our group that was transferred during this mission at any point, whether it was already announced or not, to list them here. If you knew anything about them, particularly unique to them—information, capabilities, whatever—I'd ask you disclose the information, as well. [ he may be able to get the first part, at least, by looking it up but it helps to have confirmation from files that are not documents provided by ALASTAIR. ]
The second. I'd like to know of any of you that are of leadership status back where you come from, particularly if you are responsible for the lives of others. Militarily, politically, socially, whatever. [ not the time to be picky. ]
Lastly, what's the value of a life to you? Both your own and others around you and how far does that value extend? They say there's a time to kill and a time not to kill: what're yours? [ it'd be nice to know who the self-sacrificers are versus the kill-happy. and then everyone else in between. ]
...Allow me to introduce myself, if you don't know me: I'm Date Masamune, a daimyo from the north.
[ yes, he's got a different tone to this from the last time he addressed the network, but the serious nature seems necessary, if not because of the content but because of what they're all sitting in the middle of while they wait to leave chantes. might as well be somewhat productive. ]

no subject
[ And now look at him. ]
no subject
[ y...eah...and he's used to seeing the results of beheadings and yet that was.... something else. ]
no subject
He thanked us, do you remember? At the festival of illumination, all those months ago.
[ A beat. She remembers presenting that letter to him like an accusation. ]
He said he brought us here so we could take care of the 'goblin problem'.
[ Yeah. Yeah. ]
no subject
[ if there was a speech while there at the festival though uhm... he was... fighting with... gilgamesh ... ]
no subject
Because we did not eliminate the goblins as he had hoped we would.
[ ALASTAIR's instructions, in fact, were specifically the opposite. Foster peace. ]
no subject
We were never allowed on the grounds or treated as I would imagine one would treat individuals they want to side with them... are you saying that and then the rising hostilities are because he was told we would not eliminate them?
[ DID YOU TELL THE KING THAT KIDA? ]
no subject
The hostilities had been rising long before we came. [ Graldia had already assembled her forces before ALASTAIR came onto the scene. ] Our rebellion only served to make us targets for his ire, as well.
no subject
That's obvious, you don't get like this unless both sides and everyone on it are crazy. But that isn't what I mean. Initially, we would be assumed on his side if summoned; the letter suggests as much about the "problem". But, even at arrival, we were granted nothing. If we weren't, why thank us to begin with?
If you ask for assistance in my country and it is accepted, you treat your allies with the highest of value and care until you have reason to do so otherwise. You do not find his initial treatment of us odd—sending letters but not inviting us to speak and thank us personally in the castle? If you will not even meet with them on a personal basis, already the trust link is severed. [ where he comes from, anyway. ]
Are these actions the common manners of western monarchs, then? [ yeah he's looking at you, princess, how do you treat YOUR GUESTS IN ATLANTIS... ] Maybe it's too foreign for me.
"Our Rebellion" was... not eliminating them?
