[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a manor.

You're wearing bloodstained (but fancy!) versions of your uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly leveled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? In fact, you were one of the rioters.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

I cannot tell what to think.

Some people have a remarkably low threshold for what they'll set themselves on fire for. I like to think that, as a unit, we at least have some expectations for our own worth and what that should be spent on.

I admire a heroic attitude as well as the next, but there should be some sense of self-worth in it, surely.

Right? What can you fight for properly if you can't even stand for yourself?

Hmm... Well I'm not a fly on their walls. My initial reaction was... I'll confess judgmental. But at this point I'm just a bit depressed. Whatever their reasons, they're their own, I can't say if I agree or disagree with why without knowing the reasoning.

But I don't have to like it either way.
