[ He'd been proud of the achievement. Of the hard work paying off and the possibility of starting fresh. Now some of that is shaken, especially in the face of being here. With all of his own crew gone. Had it been worth it? ]

Date: 2016-09-26 08:48 pm (UTC)Not currently, but with the amount of disarray, I have little faith in the group surviving if something drastic were to happen. Most if not all have incredible abilities with little knowledge on how to use them. Many are still too pre-occupied with keeping everyone out and therefore not necessarily communicating.
Essentially, it's much like a band of operatives who got transferred out from different leadership. We're under the same banner but that won't mean anything if we can't stop antagonizing each other. )

( You wish to make the station your ideal Empire, now? The Empire ruled by fear, not inspiration. )

Fear is a great motivator, but it's not ideal for the long term. Give someone something to look forward to and they're more likely to fight for it. )
