So it occurs to me that there are different forces at work here, among even the imPort population. I confess to have no real understanding of these political intricacies, but feel as though it's important to remain aware of the influences permeating our own subculture of sorts. So far RISE and the Justice League have been spoken of in passing, but what are these organizations and are there any others? An overview would be appreciated.

I feel I should also express my thanks to those that met with myself and my colleague last month before the swear-in, as well as to those that assisted us during the event itself. We are most grateful. We've decided to take employment at StarkTech for the time being, where we'll be heading up a new biotechnological division.

Never will I understand the desire to erect a wall in the face of opposition.

Does he truly? Why are you cruel to each other?

[driftsintobuffetline]

We're not! We're Best Friends! And yes he most definitely does pick on me and critique me and yell at me and complain about me. And that's okay. He wouldn't be Hermann otherwise. He is Sir Hermann the Filer of Complaints, m'lady. He's a real nag, but you learn to tune him out.

[illuminescent]

I do not think him anything of the sort, truly!

[driftsintobuffetline]

I've known him over a decade. Hermann is a bit repressed and reigns himself in well, he's ridiculously well-mannered, but he's a spitfire. Besides, he just likes to complain about me. And I give him plenty to complain about. It's what we do.

I see.
