[Hello, good morning. Theo has Some Opinions to share about what occurred this week and he's loudly going to tell you about them. Once the dizziness and nausea wear off, anyway.

While the more minute details now escape him, a few key events stand out in his mind, that particularly of his death in Area X. He's probably one of the first ones to return from the sim as well, not very well equipped either in his real life nor in the sim for wilderness survival in such a hostile environment.]

Hey, Navarch? What the fuck was that?! How fucking dare you pull something like this with little warning and no choice! Did you people think this was going to be done kinda cute trip through the woods or something? What was the point to any of it?! Just to mentally torture us?

I hope you fucking choke. And same goes to any wardens who thought this was a good idea and went along with it. Fuck all of you.

Tough break! Maybe if you ask the wardens nicely, they'll take you to the SIRE and hit up a McDonalds Play Place to soothe your nerves.

[sanctus_dei]

oh shut the fuck up already. just because i didn't enjoy slowly falling apart in the wilderness and watching everyone else die around us. what the fuck was the point to any of that

[rank1]

You know millions of people have lived and died by the land? All of humanity used to look up at the stars and hope they could push hard enough to survive the next day, and they'd do that their whole lives. Billions of years of evolution and you can't take a couple days. Weaksauce.

[Says dude typing from his bunk, squinting at the screen because he's nauseous, but. You know.]

[theartofmadness]

yo wtf u2 bitchin at one another over text for you dumbasses literally a bunk or two away from one another lmfao ( he knows this cause he, too, is laying in bed. ) but also sky burials are kinda badass

[sanctus_dei]

[smugreport]

And everyone here says I’m a dick lol.

[rank1]

You are a dick. Hope that helps.

[smugreport]

Yeah well you’re cramping my style as reining champion then. Why’re you laying so hard into him?

[expectaspectre]

for what it's worth

i agree with you

[sanctus_dei]

at least someone does.

you're a warden, you're not going to let them do this again, are you?

[expectaspectre]

i'm not sure what you think i can do about it
i was forced into it against my will too

we're all ants to them i think

[sanctus_dei]

been saying that since the beginning, but who'd ever listen to me.

but you would definitely have more influence on them then i would ever have. i'm sure they won't listen to word one of anything i say.

I don't think you'll find any pleased wardens, Theo.

[sanctus_dei]

don't you have any say in this shit at all? you're just going to let them do this to all of us? they said this is the first one, implying they're going to pull this stunt again sometime.

[omniavincit]

[ This response comes almost two days after the post—William himself has been noticeably absent from the dorms (and the mess hall, and, for that matter, anywhere else except the SIRE). ] I wouldn't have graduated without them.

[nineteenfortyfive]

What would you like done?

[reek]

Didn't have a good time, then?

[ He didn't either, but it's easier to poke at someone else than to contemplate what a shitty time that whole thing was. ]

[sanctus_dei]

what was your first fucking clue?

did you have a merry jaunt through the woods like Travis did?

[reek]

I doubt it. I can't recall much of it.

But I'm not the one complaining about it on the network.

I believe the purpose is perspective, as horrible as the settings can sometimes be.
And here, at least, it *is* optional. That wasn't the case on my previous ship at all.
But I suppose we all just wanted to see what would happen.
It's not as if any of us knew what to expect specifically.
Next time, you can ask a warden to take you off ship for the duration.

[sanctus_dei]

i'm sorry but what perspective would that be? "gee sure glad that a mutant wildcat didn't eat my face in real life, that sure would've been a downer"?

my memories were used against me in order to get "me" to participate in visiting Area X. and now that we're back all i can remember are the worst parts. the most painful ones. yeah really great perspective they've given me here

and fine, i will. everyone should fucking leave, in protest.

[shiftedshape]

That of someone with a different life. Someone who handled a significant situation differently because they had been shaped differently.
But not so differently that you can't see yourself in it.

I agree that it is easier to remember the worst, but I think that perhaps reflects on us as people. I tend towards pessimism and ignoring the good because that can be just as painful. But I *can* remember the good. I'm sure you can too.

Was it torture? Or an attempt to make you think about your life choices?

[ Or, you know - both. It can be both. ]

[sanctus_dei]

[Oh you mean how you can easily draw a parallel to real Theo's relationship with his brother and how he wasted the sacrifices his family made for him? No no let's not dwell on that.]

oh sorry was dragging me back from death and putting me in prison not enough for me to think about my "life choices"?

[dealwiththe]

Obviously it wasn't. Guess we'll see if this one was.

[ So far it's not looking good. ]
