1. console: video

[When the video feed begins, there is a redhead frowning at the screen.]

As far as planets go, this isn't the worst place I've been to. Though I suppose this hardly counts as a planet.

[The frown deepens, and it's obvious that he is struggling to wrap his head around the fact that he has found himself here on a turtle and it's difficult to grasp.]

However, there are some deep-seated issues in this city that should be addressed. How do you expect to have any sort of progress when this place is so divided? There is strength in unity, which all of you seem to fail to see. Instead of competing with one another for power, wealth, and resources, it would be much more logical for all of you to fall in line. Some who have power and autonomy do not always deserve it, and are too feeble-minded for it. Should they cast their support in favour of those who are fit to lead, there will no longer be chaos.

If you're honest with yourself, you can admit that it's what's best for any society.

Oooh, another insult.

Do you really expect that people will hear what you just said and go 'Huh, yes, that makes sense, I should fall in line and allow myself to be subjected to some complete stranger'? You're starting to sound like the late emperor.

[That government hadn't been one of citizenship, but of tyranny in it's own right, and what he's suggesting sounds like a revival for that kind of 'leadership'.]

By the way, we're working on that unity thing, but with a nice dash of freedom and self-determination. Something the kedan build for themselves, not a monolith that Foreigners impose.

I expect a wide range of reactions from individuals, actually. If you're so invested in democracy, you ought to have no issue with me expressing my opinion.

And how is that coming along? I'm under the impression not well.

[lasergrenades]

I'm expressing my opinion about your opinion.

[She resists the urge to stick her tongue out at him.]

It's going just fine, actually - Rome wasn't built in a day, and governments that are any kind of good don't appear overnight.

[generalginger]

[Considering he doesn't know what Rome is, the idiom is lost on him to an extent.]

It sounds like you're making excuses for inefficiency.

[lasergrenades]

[Man. He is just all different kinds of annoying and Pepper can't decide exactly how she wants to handle this.]

It sounds like you don't like anything that doesn't think or speak like you.

[~But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew~]

[generalginger]

[It's a shame all Disney franchises aren't part of the same universe. He'd learn so much from Pocahontas.]

I dislike things that lack uniformity.

[lasergrenades]

[Well that was just a deeply disturbing statement in a lot of different ways.]

You're gonna have a hard time living here then because it's about as diverse as you can get. Where are you from that things actually are uniform?

[Because it sounds awful and boring and mildly horrifying.]
