Getting used to things

[subject-0057.livejournal.com]

[Allelujah is standing at the entrance to the hanger, looking in on Kyrios and Setsuna's Exia with a somewhat concerned expression. Celestial Being's mission is moving steadily forward, and this new mission of his can only lead to good - but without the Ptolemy's crew around him, he doesn't feel comfortable or very welcome. Adding to that concern, without Ian's assistance with Kyrios, Allelujah isn't confident in his new crew-mates ability to keep his suit in the best condition.]

[The young Gundam Meister seems a bit tense in his new surroundings. Will you pass by and leave him to his concerns, or approach him with thoughts of your own to share?]

[Allelujah has left the hanger and is walking through the ship; a little more familiar with some of the crew members, he isn't as tense as he was before, but he still seems a bit wary. It's clear he has no familiarity with the ship's surroundings, but each new room warrants a look around, as both him and his darker side aquaint themselves with the ship's layout. However, it's clear they have no real clue where they're going; maybe a tour would help?]

Their support would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid unless the colonies get support, they won't have much of a chance to get the Titans to lay off. The Federation has been turning a blind eye to their abuses for too long.

I see... It's sad that so many governments and factions don't give support to their people when they most need them...

The Federation fears losing power more than anything. They knew Zeon was the greatest threat they ever faced, and they're afraid the colonists might feel sympathy for them. So... this is what they've been reduced to.

That's so... saddening. Once the Zeon were finished, wouldn't it make more sense to want to be kind to the colonists in order to draw their sympathy to the Federation?

Maybe it's because I'm a member of Celestial Being, but... Humanity is so confusing.

They wished to maintain complete control over the colonies. The concept of independence is quite alluring to the colonists.

I can't imagine that the Federation's actions are making that concept any less alluring... If the people weren't being put under such pressure of control, what reason would they have to seek release from it?

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's possible the Federation never came back down from their high of victory over Zeon, and thought they'd get away with abusing their own citizens.

I suppose so... I can't understand why killing other people would make someone so cruel, though. Human lives are never something to feel joy over taking... And to further that abuse by taking advantage of the defeated is just cruel.

It's not even so much that they are persecuting former citizens of Zeon. They're suppressing dissent in general, under the guise of national security.

[Allelujah sighs at this and nods, looking upset and - oddly enough - a little bloodhungry. Behind his bangs, a slight flicker of the usually-hidden golden pupil appears.]
