[ He's been listening intently to the audience, lost in thought, motionless even as the other members disperse. He turns to the girl with a start when he realizes she's speaking to him. ]

Yes. In particular, the origins of this war are what stand out the most. Or, rather, that neither we nor the Emperor really seem to know what they are. That all the history books are defaced, and nobody seems to know how that happened, or by whom...

[ He taps his chin. ]

It seem to me the best way to wage this war—if we choose to do so—is to get more information.

I agree. I could tell that the Emperor was mainly appealing to our attachment to the homes we were taken from. [And, while she doesn't admit so aloud, she expects the appeal to be successful because it resonates on a basic level: instilling fear for the future of their respective worlds, and making people feel extraordinary that it was them, out of millions and billions, who were chosen. Look, she paid attention in her social studies and literature classes. The angle the Emperor took was pretty obvious.]

You've seen the state of the castle library, I suppose. It strikes me as odd that such a degree of damage would occur in the faction's base of operations without anyone noticing.
