Seeing the Difference
Hi, it's Josh. I'm back, at least until I kill again--sorry I guess that's too dark even for gallow's humour. I'm glad that the O.S.I.R.'s letter got posted to the blog last week. I hope everyone read it over. Tommy Dearing is right about one thing, we need more training in what we are doing, not just in the use of our gifts. I have to take full responsibility of that. I am weighing the team down getting into fighting shape since I have the least experience with my gifts.
We as the Protectorate need to do a better job. We have to get it right, but you know what? We are doing more than the O.S.I.R. is ever likely to do. They just find people, trail them quietly, and then sweep in to take them away for the slaughter. We are not executioners except under the situations where people's lives are at stake. The O.S.I.R. probably thinks their pre-emptive strikes on the gifted are keeping the prime people safe. In doing that they would have been left with the only choice I had in the situation I found myself in. They wouldn't have dug any further after snatching that man up. They'd have been lauded heroes for killing him in the street, because pawn or not that man was endangering lives. The O.S.I.R. don't agonize over taking out someone doing that. We're doing okay on that count.
I reject your guilt trip, Tommy. Thank you for reminding me, reminding all of us in the Protectorate, that we need to do better, because we know that you won't.
