Well, I'm an optimist. I think that given enough time, considering what we've done in the last two to three years, we might win this war, or at least win some peace for a bit. The only faction that seems like it might be able to handle peace is the New Monarchy. The FWC, I like. I get the wisdom in preparing for a big final showdown, and not surprisingly, their weapons are usually top notch. The problem is, what happens after this ultimate fight? We can't just be at war for ever, that sword will eventually have to be made into a plow. They call themselves a cult and cults aren't really known for being able to handle a radical change in philosophy. I'm glad to have them around, but if they do their job well, there's no place for them in the future they'll win. Dead Orbit seems like kind of a dead end for humanity. I get the urge to go out among the stars. I understand the strategy of not being here when the full force of the Darkness hits earth. Running away won't solve the problems we're facing though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we give this a try already to a lesser extent? Russia is filled with the remains of a failed mass exodus that humanity tried when the Darkness first showed up. And the more successful of the evacuees only seem to have gotten to the asteroid belt and now are depending on the city's guardians for defense. The best case scenario for Dead Orbit looks a lot like the current state of the Fallen. We can do better. The Traveler didn't come here to be our king, and it's in no state to fill that role anyway. The Speaker isn't leading. The Vanguard is excellent at organizing defence and offensive strikes, but humanity is more than just the guardians in the tower. It's the civilians and children in the Last City. New Monarchy is the only faction that can offer them a future being something other than refugees or soldiers.
