[ Voice, open to all ]

'Bout a week ago, some guy asked me how many people I'd seen come an' go since I got here. In three months it's somethin' like... 70 out of 110. Probably more now, I ain't bothered countin'... but that kinda stuff can really get you down, even when you don't know th' numbers. We lose people all th' time here. People we got to know here, friends from back home... [ He falls silent for a beat. Draws a steadying breath. ] An' it's sad. It's damn sad an' there ain't nothin' we can do 'bout it but keep goin'.

...I guess I just wanted t' remind y'all about th' Memorial Garden down in Sector 4. Anyone who wants t' plant somethin' there in memory of someone they lost, whether they were here or back home... you're welcome to. It's for all of us, th' ones that are still here an' the ones that aren't.

[ Voice, locked to Sougo ]

Hey, Sougo... I need your help with somethin'.

[ Action, open ]

[ Aidan will be dividing his day between lugging boxes between Sector 2 and 4, and later spending a few long hours in the Memorial Garden. Feel free to approach the pensive country boy! ]

	Sometimes we are forced to make a choice between the lesser of two evils. Sometimes we are forced to act upon making the best of a terrible situation. And ofttimes we don't know whether a decision was good or bad until after the dust settles and we reap what we've sewn. I'm of a mind that we should always strive to do what is right, come what may.

	[ Wow get out of his brain. ] Heh... I've always thought exactly that. Most people seemed t' think it was, uh... naive or stupid or somethin'. Like th' world isn't that simple. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh if a person thinks that a consistent attempt to do what is right is naive or simple, then they are not well acquainted with the notion themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You seem quite capable, Mr. Reilly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm, uh... I'm glad someone thinks so. Ain't had much success, 'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then I hope you do continue to try. My own world has seen its air share of... history that we are by no means proud of. And while corruption will always exist in some sense, there will always be those who oppose it, those who fight for what is right and good and fair. I much prefer to be on the right side of history than the wrong, and I feel that you share that sentiment.

	[ Goodness, Jean-Luc. Do you have any idea what you've just done for this kid? You practically picked him up from the gutter, brushed him off and gave him a friendly push onto the right track again. He's felt so lost and now... he feels less so. ] ...Thank you, sir. I do... an' I will, if I ever get back there. [ Swallows. ] I won't forget this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. And I will let you know how my visit to the gardens fairs when we meet again, Mr. Reilly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd appreciate that a lot. Just let me know if there's anythin' you're wonderin' or if you need any help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, indeed. Thank you for your kindness. It will not be forgotten. (Reply to this) (Parent)
