[ Kanaya turns on the camera, glancing at a distant point to the side, wearing a great scowl. ]
Have you ever had those days when you've had to empty out your savings to relocate friends whose lives are in active danger?
Well, happy birthday to me.
[ She finally looks at the camera directly, as Ashiah can be seen bumbling across the wall behind her. ] I think it's time to admit I need a new weapon. The Porter recently took the one I've relied upon for years, and this [ She brings her hand up, holding a large knife. ] has proven a feeble replacement. I'd prefer something with more weight and reach, something that can actually deal damage. Motorized, if possible.
So, I'm open to suggestions. If you craft any yourself, sell me on your product. I'm willing to learn something new, but no firearms. They don't agree with my style.

[Congratulations, Jaime; you just summarized the entirety of X-Men.]
The last person who wanted to do this -- did he change his mind, or is he still gunning for them?

I'm not sure I quite understand what you're asking. Do you mean the one who was actually doing this last week, or just the hypotheticals who might've, given the opportunity?
video

I'm glad you were there to help them.

It's all for the sake of making more easily justified targets. They aren't the same as one's own group, therefore they aren't human, and their lives don't matter.
When you already do this to each other, what chance might someone with no relation to humanity stand?
Re: video
We got reason to want us to be better than that. I mean, I get your point and everything, but there's not that many of us. You'd think that since every single one of us has met someone who's not human, they'd figure out that hating each other based on nothing makes no sense.
But, uh... preaching to the choir, I know.
video
Well, meeting people of other species doesn't preclude hating them. That sort of hatred rarely makes sense, but that does nothing to keep it from happening.
video
[He feels as though he knows the answer to this question, given how wary everyone's been of Khaji, but he has to ask it anyway.]
Have you really met that many imPorts that hate you because you're not human...?
video
More often it's a palpable unease.
video
[Crane, Hisoka, Pan, Lucifer... how could they feel safe amongst that sort of thing? He smiles at her, though it's a weak, twitching sort of thing.]
But most of the guys who've actually caused trouble at least look human. Jury's out on whether or not they are.
video
No, you're right. For that I wouldn't blame them, if it felt less specifically targeted, and more broadly across all imPorts.
But I suppose we have the misfortune of being more visibly imPorted, if that were the case.
Re: video
[He shrugs. It's not that he's ashamed, or that he won't step out if the situation calls for it, but he loathes attention. Pretending to be a native is just easier.]
You guys can't really do that.
video
[ The look on her face definitely doesn't make that sound like any kind of a prospect she'd care for. Not that she hadn't done it a few times, but she feels embarrassed of them in hindsight. ]
video
[Then they'd be the weird ones! Then again, Jaime's not so sure that he wouldn't just walk around in-uniform all the time if that was considered to be the norm. He dislikes attention enough to go to such lengths.]
video
[ It would make a kind of sense, bringing human imPorts to Earth, despite all the inexplicable exceptions. On another planet, the same ratios would be much weirder. ]
Re: video
[He looks up, staring off-screen. He knows they covered this in science class...]
Bipedal! Two eyes, usually a nose and a mouth. I know there's more than people like that out there.
[And yet what ends up here? Humans, or people that look at least somewhat like them. He has, perhaps, had too much time to consider the whims of the Porter.]
video
Most, certainly, if there aren't some rare exceptions scattered throughout our history. You have to wonder, the Porter is far less ambiguous about finding people who are at least potentially suitable to the environment than she is about whatever her criteria for "heroes" are.
there certainly haven't been any imPorts who can't survive on Earth, that I know of.

[ Hell, two of them were trolls. Though she wouldn't have minded if one of them suffocated on the air, honestly. He should've stayed dead when she sawed him in half. ]
I suppose, whatever her cruelty, she doesn't bring anyone who would be thoroughly useless to her.
video
[He leans back, and knocks on wood. Just in case!]
video
Still, the climate may be nice if we all arrived on Mercury instead. Though it might be lonely, if I were the only one capable of enjoying it.
