Hi, I'm Clarke Griffin. Some of you may know me because I've been trying to help people out in getting them off the supply runs. My friends are the ones going out there and risking themselves. They're doing good, and I'm just trying to do my part to help everyone.
Still. There's something I want to talk about. We have a chance here—not only to do better, but to acknowledge who came before and live up to their memories. What does it mean to do better? To believe in hope. To know that you can do good. To rise to the challenge.
This is not just about fighting to survive this, but looking at our history and seeing it a different way. Ricky Ling is the big hero of the past, but—why? I don't want to say that Kira's wrong. We do need to find him. But he was just one man, and we can't raise him up as our paradigm for how to survive. No one survived because he came through in the end. They survived because of each other. Just like we're doing now, day in and day out.
A friend of mine and I would like to talk to you about this more. Actually, this idea came from her, and I'm more the spokesperson. Her name is Tsera, and she's ready for your questions. If you're a part of our friends group—[Obviously code here for "the Displaced".]—we'd like some help in sharing our experiences about survival, and even about AI like Judas.
We need to be able to see more than broad strokes to make it through. The answer may be in seeing history differently. I think we have an opportunity.
[OOC: This is Clarke being Cheris' spokeswoman for this plot. Cheris will also be tagging in!]
