Sure, but you're already pretty much a voice of authority, Lance. You set up this big guide, and you make big network posts laying out the basics and telling people that they can ask you questions. Which is good, but when you start like... feeding into people's frustration so that they don't feel alone or whatever, you're also making it sound like this place is full of uncaring assholes or something. I get that you don't like the safehouse thing, and I get that you don't like Gaby, but they've saved our asses a lot. How many of those new arrivals know that Morningstar gives us monthly stipends, or helps us find jobs? Or feeds us information about the mercenary groups, or help people during disasters?

[She doesn't sound upset or frustrated, but she has shifted a bit so she can look at him more fully. It isn't that she doesn't think he did it purposefully, it's that she still doesn't think it's the right call.]

When you make yourself the information guy who's here to guide people along, and then talk about stuff like that with so much emotion, like no one is listening to you or them and no one wants to listen, don't you think you're feeding into a bunch of scared, angry people being scared and angry, too?
