➥ First Thought

Selling future lives... Never thought that to be possible but somehow they were able to do so. But to see them become so desperate to where they are at the point of giving up like that?

And really now, selling technology and treating it like a market for war. No, that isn't a Gallifrey I wish to be in again or to ever see.

... I never thought of myself having a son either.

When people become desperate, they don't think clearly. They only think about wanting that desperation to stop.

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

To do something to that extreme-- That isn't a Gallifrey I wish to call home.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Then fight to make it what you want. A planet you'd be proud of.

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

I am not looking to fight battles or wars.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But whether you're looking for it or not, sometimes those battles are necessary.

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

It is never necessary. Only those who seek out wars would say they are.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

When a war is brought to you, you won't win it by waiting to be cut down. I would rather bring the war to them, from the start, and seize the advantage.

You almost sound like someone I know.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Who is it?

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

A friend.

Anyway, when you say 'selling future lives', just what are they planning?

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

They're simply planning to earn extra currency at the cost of their future lives.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

If it's their own lives they're playing with, maybe it's their choice. It's foolish, but could it be called wrong?

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

It's absolutely appalling.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

It was their choice.
