What is the purpose of this network?

The wilderness does not bother me. It is nice, seeing so many stars.

I agree. The cities here are incredible to me, with how different the buildings and technology are compared to my home, but many of them shine too brightly. I have been told it is "light pollution", where the light they emit blocks out the night sky.

It is a shame, honestly, and I relish getting to travel for that reason. It is nice to see someone else who shares the same feeling.

I am from a city called Tokyo-3. It was similar in size to the ones I have seen here, but it was designed for a different purpose.

[nastyboy]

May I ask what it was designed for, and if that has something to do with the number attached to its name? I hope that isn't rude, but Faerghus naming conventions are somewhat different.

After Second Impact, the original Tokyo was destroyed, and two separate cities were developed to replace it. Tokyo-2 was designed to house government officials, and ours, Tokyo-3, was designed to support military action against the Angels.

[There appears to be some history here that he is unaware of... but he thinks he can understand it all roughly. Some sort of disaster or tragedy befell a city, and its replacement was split into two. And presumably...]

I take it these Angels were responsible for the Second Impact, or connected to it in some way?

[instrumentally]

Yes. They are incompatible with mankind.

[Incompatible with mankind....]

That makes it sound as though they are not human themselves. I had thought that perhaps it was the name of a group, or another country, but it appears that is not so?

[instrumentally]

It is hard to describe them by way of appearance. Every Angel is unique, and cannot be replicated. All of them are immensely powerful beings.

Angels and humanity cannot co-exist. If the Angels were to survive, they would destroy what is left of humanity. So, we must destroy them before this occurs.

[nastyboy]

To call for the destruction of an entire race is a heavy thing to say. Why do Angels feel the need to destroy humanity?

[instrumentally]

I do not know if it is a conscious decision on their part. Perhaps the Angels are similar to us, and only wish to ensure their survival. They are difficult to understand, and we cannot interact with them without coming to harm ourselves.

[nastyboy]

Although I may be overstepping my bounds, as this is not a situation or place that I have ever gone through, that seems rather tragic.

[instrumentally]

You are not incorrect.

[nastyboy]

I am glad that I did not put you in an awkward position, then.

I hope that you will be able to feel more at ease here. There have apparently been strange and worrying incidents here, but it is a mostly peaceful place. It would be nice if you could find some measure of happiness and comfort.

[instrumentally]

You are very kind.

[nastyboy]

Thank you for the compliment, although I am not entirely certain I deserve it for just this little. Yet how it makes you feel is the most important thing.

Have you been enjoying this conversation at all?

[instrumentally]

Yes.

[nastyboy]

That is good to hear, and I think it also helps answer your initial question that you opened this post with. The purpose of this network, among many other things, is to have conversations you can enjoy such as this one.

[instrumentally]

I am beginning to see that.

[nastyboy]

That's good to hear.

I have to go now, but it was nice speaking with you. If you ever want to talk again, feel free to contact me once more.
