"Since she is the leader of one of the only remaining capitalist groups, I am sure she has many enemies in this world. More than Mr. Holmes..." I say with some concern.

"I've heard those rumors... Lycanthropy has been feared throuought the ages, but even that is no excuse for genocide. As to civil wars, I could name a half dozen right now that don't even involve Red Infinty. Add us to the mix and we've got 20. No, the world is no better now than it was before the Revolution, but at least here we have a stable base to build on..."

"I know... which is why I am concerned, but still. Perhaps I have been too protective of her of late, and she wishes to prove to me that she can take care of herself. She is hardly rash, I should not worry."

"Well, if you contact her, tell her who I am and where she can find me. As long as I am here, I should do some political work."

"That's right. There are some positives. For one, the world is united under one government. That means reform and democratization would effect everyone. As for the civil disputes, those cost many lives as well. Red Infinity is doing very little about them, since solving those disputes takes time and resources we don't have. Maybe you could help with that..."

"I would be happy to do that," I reply.

"Well my resources aren't that good, but I will do what I can to help." Of course the part about the resources is a bold-faced lie, after all I am actually a dragon, I sleep on a bed of gold. But perhaps if the cause was good enough I might be willing to part with some lesser treasures... "I do have some diplomatic skills, and can fight for good if nessasary. As someone once said 'You can't make an omlette without breaking eggs.'"

"Good...well, I better get back to work. Don't want to compromise my new job!"
I get back to my cleaning.

"There is more to it than just peace. There are a number of other atrocities that must be taken care of too. The world must be made both peaceful and just... One or the other just isn't sufficient."

"Of course," I reply, vanishing without a trace. While I want to keep track of Holmes, I cannot follow him for fear of jeopardizing his mission.

"I am a pacifist and my prefered method of social change is non violent resistance. I can agree that both are needed. For the world can be very peaceful under cruel dictatorship, where people are simply too afraid and beaten down to fight. Such is not a desireable peace."

"Of course not. People need to be free to follow their own beliefs, but not if those beliefs endanger or harm others. And at the same time the people need to be free of the fear of being attacked or oppressed. That is true peace. And that is what we need to strive for."

"Yes, I can agree with that. Freedom and peace are human rights, as is universal and standardized justice."

"Agreed. Now the problem is where do we start? Our government is an oppressive one with violent enforcers. However the various rebel groups tend to be equally violent. Now violence in and of itself is not an evil thing, but it is a last resort solution to all but the worst problems, and people don't seem to realize that."
