"If we're heading to war anyway, better it be over something less stupid than 'your brand of nationalism is expressed differently than mine'," Jim says with something of a sigh. He's not quite a pacifist - he should be, maybe, but he's seen too much to not know conflict is inevitable, sometimes.

"I understand the desire to keep natives from total panic and chaos, but there's a wide gap between pulling the curtains up for everything and letting us have a more sensible cover story. They've got all kinds of power but are using it on the weirdest details."

"Or we could prevent war in the first place. Considering the advancements here I think war here would be a bit personal and bloody." AKA not exactly what Duo wanted to deal with when it came down to it. He isn't an up close and personal battle kind of guy, prefers a bit of sabotage or just a sneak attack if it's at all possible. Sure, it isn't exactly the honorable way to fight, but it's worked and kept him alive.

"Exactly why it's suspect and we might do well to keep the Natha happy for now." It's not ideal - he'd like to pull the curtains up himself, if he's honest, but seeing as they have a bunch of their sleeping friends in tubes up there... "They do have a lot of leverage asleep in tubes."

Jim makes a sound of agreement. He's aggressively optimistic in a stubborn way, wanting to avoid war at all costs, but he's not an idiot. It would be wildly foolish to assume it simply won't ever come.

"Yeah." Something he's considered at length. "That's why I'm not petitioning them for answers. I'd rather be wrong, honestly."

"Yeah. Until I have everyone awake and gathered up they're safe." Which is probably a smart choice on the part of the Natha. Duo, despite his size and easy ability to smile and laugh, was probably one of the more vindictive and merciless Gundam pilots of the five. Perhaps something to do with where and what he was raised in, but either way it hasn't wounded him too badly so far, so there's no way he's turning back from it for the moment. The Natha and whatever was going on with them would stay however they wanted util he could ensure his friends' safety.

Once that was done.. well. They'd put their heads together. "Still, it pings every red flag I know from the war I came from. There's too many unknowns for my tastes."

"I also wanna know why all these people who are so proud and all that good shit don't seem to know their history? Like.. how?"
