First Video

[The video is side ways, and the women shown in it is peering down into the camera as if it might jump out and eat her.]

Is this blasted thing even on? What's it doing? I think it's doing something.

[She turns, screen careening to the sky.]

You. You there! Would you help me work this contraption? Better yet, tell me where on God's green earth I am?

[There's a boy's voice answering her for a second, and then the sound of someone running off after a short, rather primal shout.]

Where in the hell is Prospero? I bet one of those little brats did this. Just wait until I get back there. I'll have them in detention until they have kids.

[The video is now mostly obscured by dark, checker print cloth. She's holding the device to her hip.]

Honestly, how rude can those kids be to a little old lady?

I can't say. The war has only been ongoing for about a year. But... it has already set the Galaxy aflame.

That seems all war is ever good for.

I cannot speculate on the uses of war, aside from the protection of humanity. That is the only reason I ever took up arms.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

And a noble reason, at that.

But even that was perverted by our leaders, in the end. Pride and power are a dangerous mixture.

Those two things have never brought a good outcome, I'm afraid.

I would say I hope things improve, but things like that often don't.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Indeed. They did not.

At least this place can give you a brief break from all that.
