Alright. So we've lost more than a few people. That's gonna make building this device harder than it already was. Maybe that's the point, to dangle something they know we want desperately right in front of our noses--whether that's just the chance for some control over being constantly at their mercy or just the chance to feel fully like we were meant to be again. Maybe this is upping the stakes and trying to make sure we fail. But we're not gonna do that.
So what we're all gonna have to do is pull together and do more work. For us, for everyone here.
For those of you asking what's in it for you, increasing our talents to survive your likelihood of survival. Here we've got shelter, resources, some semblance of leisure time. But that ain't always gonna be the case. We could go anywhere--space, untamed jungles, the arctic, the sewers under ancient Rome, fucking candy mountain for all we know with next to nothing at our disposal. (In fact, given that dickwad who runs us, we'd probably get dropped with a raging case of giardia and a balloon sword for our efforts.)
And while none of us are unskilled, even without powers, I don't think anyone of us say honestly that we could survive alone in every single environment these assholes could throw at us. You help this like you ought and I will personally make sure this block is provided for if we get to one of those harsher worlds. If I don't know an environment which is unlikely, I'm pretty far travelled in the timeline and a couple galaxies, I can damn well find someone who will. You want to survive through the unknown, there's gonna be times you need to lean on others that know it. If we're signaling we're not trustworthy enough to lean back on I wouldn't blame any single person for remembering that for a long time.
And sure, I've got powers. I've got family here that've got powers. But this isn't just about that.
