Reflections on Revolution

[Andrew Kasher]

"Well, er... I am a revolutionary socialist, even if I do not do very many things for the rebels... I mean, I guess I do some stuff. It never really feels like enough though... I could help people out with rebel stuff. I'm pretty organized, even if my public speaking skills aren't... aren't very good or anything."

Andrew pauses.

"Although, I do have a propensity for being attacked by Red Infinity and stuff..... That's why I don't have an apartment in the first place... but... I mean, I don't think they're going to go after me any time soon, for a while."

[Chaya]

"Yes Raz, I can keep an eye on him. I will go after him right now so he doesn't get into trouble. I liked the falafel by the way." Chaya gets up and pushes his chair in. He smiles innocently and runs out the door after Ezra.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I don't ask much of you. If a rebel comes by and wants to join the movement, direct them to the base and give them a room. If anyone comes for me, say that I will be back in a few weeks and that I prefer to be left alone. I will leave a phone number in case of emergency or if a rebel absolutely must speak with me. It shouldn't be too hard. Right now it is best if we don't do much political organizing anyway. Red Infinity has been harder on rebelion in all forms lately."

[Antero Black]

Antero looks at Zinn and wonders what is on her mind. He slowly turns his head to Sakari, who is busy driving.
"Tell me more about the revolution and what the anarchists did."

[Pierre Proudhon]

"Yes, tell us more about the revolution." Pierre begs of Sakari.

[Hera]

I open my eyes and see two old men and that French guy who captured me. d**n. How am I ever going to get out of here and rejoin the Bloodspeakers?

Kaitalish, if you can hear me, get me the hell out of here.

I sit up in the bed.
"I feel...better...thanks.." I say to the three men.

[Tyhjä]

Tyhja sends a report to Moscow that Charlotte O'neil is alive and staying with the feminists. He doesn't think that they will send anyone to fight or capture her, but it is a good idea to keep an eye on her.

He listens to the feminists discuss different points of view. He nods, but really doesn't have much of an opinion.

[Xavier Jaures]

"Good, you're awake. I'm glad you're feeling better. Can we get you anything?" Xavier asks in a concerned voice.

[Hera]

"I told you I'm fine. You saved my life. I owe all of you so much. That disease would have taken me."

[Xavier Jaures]

Hera is friendlier than Xavier expected her to be. He expected that she would wake up and attack those around her. Instead she seems calm and thankful.
"Disease? Do you mean taint?"

[Hera]

"The disease is a test of my piety. I must prove myself to my God."

I look at the men in my room and get up off of my bed.

"You understand, you are all men of god."

[Xavier Jaures]

Xavier turns to Alamoot and Carter. He shakes his head in confusion.
"I don't think I understand."

[Hera]

I smile and place my hand on Xavier's shoulder.

"The more we suffer, the holier we become. My disease is my door to dark saintdom."

[Xavier Jaures]

Xavier turns to Carter and Alamoot. Hera is disturbing him and he hopes that they have some advice on how to deal with her. She is a disturbed woman who needs help.

[Hera]

"Christ suffered. The martyrs suffered. And so I want to be like them, but for a new religion. I will prove the purity of my intent to the powers above."
