“I have a bad feeling if we tell them,” Lumoof said. “From what you described, he gives me vibes like the angels. Do we really want to let him know about that future?”

“If we don’t, we don’t get to save the heroes,” Roon countered and asked a rhetorical question that didn’t really need to be answered. “Is that important to us? Should we have to weigh what we want to do here?”

“Of course we do! They are heroes. All right, let’s look at our options. Let’s start with the obvious. Should we go in there and fight that White Statue?” Stella asked, and it was met with silence.

Lumoof waited and frowned. “I don’t think it’s a good idea in the short term. At our stretched levels, we cannot deploy enough personnel to fill the power vacuum or maintain order. It’s also going to be pretty hard to predict how these folks will behave should the White Statue suddenly disappear. The imprints on their mind sound like it could go either way. I think we leave that option for much later. It should be a nuclear option, once we conclude that the White Statue really is hostile.”

It was an uncomfortable reality that fighting was often the easy part. Maintaining order and advancing society were significantly harder.

Was it worth it, just to save some heroes? It was a line of thought that Kafa raised. “What makes a hero’s life worth more?” Kafa countered. “We’re at the point where they are more of a liability. A rogue element, and I would even go as far as saying that the White Statue is right to consider them as erratic. Like we all remember what happened to Chung.”

“We need them because heroes can help defend the existing worlds. They can move around freely with nodes and through Lumoof. They are our defensive pieces, and their situation can be managed. The more heroes we have, the less risky it becomes for us as a whole to rely on them,” Roon explained. “And as much as I hate to admit it, heroes are worth more than normal people. Their potential to save lives is so much higher.”

Stella squirmed uncomfortably. Discussions of the value of lives made her react this way. She knew how I thought about it. “So we’re going to tolerate this White Statue’s murder of mostly innocent fresh heroes.”

Lumoof sighed before he explained. “We all make sacrifices, and I am cognizant that even Aeon’s branches are stained with more blood than the White Statue. We’re in no place to comment on the sort of sacrifices the White Statue made to achieve a stable, prosperous society.”

“I mean, that’s fine with me. We’ve all killed, some way or another, so I think we’re not really innocent. We just think that it’s the right thing to do. But more importantly, can we actually trust this White Statue’s offer? Is it an offer in good faith? What if it reneges on the deal?” Ezar, the brawler, then asked. “I mean, there’s really nothing other than our word and theirs to hold this agreement together.
