The Major

"Thank you."
Sybil politely paid the price stated and took the wrapped vegetables. Money and its retention meant next to nothing for the Fallanassi, since she simply had it when it was needed. In this case she decided to leave the unlucky girl an extra ten credits to go along with the asking price -just because. She had plenty more, but credits never actually solved anything on the spot. It also might trigger something suspect from the local populace. Charity wouldn't help any such fellows so diminished by circumstance and moral conundrum. Pray then, that she was never pushed to such an end; for she wondered if she would have the strength of character to push on like these people had.
Understanding now that strength was something far more nuanced than who had the biggest rifle or who was in the biggest army, the Major pensively returned to [member="Eralam"] with gloominess in her heart.

"Have you, with your knowledge and understanding, ever tried to save the world? Save the world of people like these?"
