It is my understanding that we were gathered to function as a team. A concept that is, perhaps, difficult for many of us to become accustomed to, but a path we have had no choice but to take in any case.

Yet here we are, already faced with danger enough from our missions, and we are equally forced to fear one of our own as well?

Explain to me why we should endure the presence of a monster who cannot keep his nature in check. How many were injured by Koltira's hand, yet all of us remain silent.

In what order you are going to have them, isn't that right?

[daimeinashi]

for all the lucidity he retained, he might as well have been one
i went out into the desert to assist sieglinde-san with obtaining the samples she required
the way he fought is akin to a wounded animal, on instinct and reflex alone

sieglinde-san may yet be successful, but it is a possibility that she may fail, as well

certain dangers cannot be eliminated
only the harm mitigated
ALISTAIR has allowed him to remain despite a previous incident, which suggests they will not intervene in this situation, either
if you wish all of us to function as a team, then it is foolish not to follow his instructions
you would not knowingly go out into a hurricane or towards a tornado, would you?
simply because the destructive force is contained in a person instead is no reason to do otherwise

[racking]

No, probably not. I'm not sure Koltira wants to talk to anyone right now, but maybe...

[ maybe shiro would impose on him. he isn't sure it would be welcome, but keith is right. ]

You've both gotten better. We're all learning how to be team. That doesn't come together overnight.

[racking]

I think we have enough healers and enough fighters to be able to volunteer to help him, if he'll let us. It'll keep him busy and away from innocent people.

[ or this is what shiro's come up with after what papyrus had told him, so. ]

[twinpeak]

the only one wasting time here is you! is this how you think is the right way to deal with this?

[competing]

You mean he can't help it?

[ he makes a bit of a face. ]

I don't know, man, doesn't that sound kinda... messy?

[Oh boy, does this hit terribly close to home...]

By what standards do you deem someone a monster?

[riastraid]

well, chin up. i think you've got the right of it to not go picking this fight. [ Which is largely what he'd popped in to check anyway—even honorable challenges against his Master are something to keep an eye on, and possibly deal with. But all's well that ends well. ] besides, you might be surprised if you got to know him.

[paintjobs]

I've survived a long time, and I picked up a few tips along the way.

Honestly, I'd be fine with throwing him off a cliff. [There's no love lost, here.] If he threatens so many people in his little temper tantrums, then either he needs to be confined or released from ALASTAIR's services for good. He's nothing more than a risk for us all, at this point.

voice, @TARANTO

[heavyhitter]

You wanna know why he's fine? Because he doesn't hurt anyone on purpose.

[whatshimadayou]

... [Ah, something he could not have avoided forever.]

Does that not make him just as dangerous as someone who has?

I deny nothing about myself, Ramir.

[whatshimadayou]

I would have presumed that they would have known what they were dragging in here. Though they do drag in children as well.

Regardless, you make a sufficient point.

A tiring topic. Should you have something to say, simply say it.

[selfimage]

Do they?

[ a dramatic little pause before he speaks, and when he does, there's a smile in his voice. ]

I wouldn't call them competent enough for that.

[whatshimadayou]

A rare opinion shared. It is odd to see such opposition.

[whatshimadayou]

So I have come to realize. [No disagreements here.]

[heavyhitter]

No, you can prevent one of them.

Also, since we're not really talking about Koltira -- that's fucked up. [ you know. just in case he was wondering. ]

[whatshimadayou]

That is inappropriate.

[whatshimadayou]

Yes. It is. What else?

[headlining]

People are too soft-hearted. I get where they're coming from, but at this point, regardless of whether he is in control or not, he has hurt innocent people. To ignore that is idiotic.

If mold grows on a piece of bread, you don't wait for it to recede back on its own, no? You cut it out. Either he finds a way to isolate himself, or leaves. This can't continue.

[heavyhitter]

Nothing, that's all I got. [ no it's not, it so isn't. ] Glad we're on the same page.

[whatshimadayou]

I believed it would provide me with something better than no acknowledgement whatsoever.

[whatshimadayou]

...What did you want me to ask me, Ramir?

That I regret it? Because I have, since that day. I make no excuses for my action. No matter how much Genji forgives me, I cannot forgive myself. I would never assume it was not a terrible thing.

[whatshimadayou]

You would risk our fighters against someone that strong? My brother is not weak, and this happened regardless.
