Message: <blockquote data-quote="AIM-54" data-source="post: 2134327" data-attributes="member: 15633">Sorry, haven't been following this all that closely (been outta town and whatnot), but I hadn't realized we'd made a decision on this (it seems that way, at any rate) and would just like to pipe up Kaereth's wholehearted opposition to this plan.In his own words:<british accent> "Archonus, your devotion to your child is noble and, indeed, admirable, but we in the Circle have certain obligations to our people and carrying around a child can only impede our ability to accomplish those tasks required of us.  I understand that you do not plan to have the child with you in the case of short-term operations, but the truth is we cannot predict where we may have to go to execute our missions and given the dangers we are likely to face it is not wise to bring indefensible infants on any such endeavors, whether we are on a one day trip or a three month journey.  Taking us out of the fight because we are limited by your unwillingness to leave your child is also not a viable option.  We are at a critical time in our rebellion and must not now falter.  Not for any reason.  The future of our people and the freedom of all on the continent is at stake.  Indeed, our deeds here may impact continents of which we are now only barely aware.  There may be no alternative security arrangement that meets your overly demanding standards, but we cannot put all that we have thus far accomplished at risk.  War is no place for children and putting the entire circle at risk for the life of an infant, one we would all sacrifice for if it came to it, can only endanger us and our cause.  Ultimately, I believe that extra risk is not worth it.  I urge you to reconsider.  I would not see us fail, or watch my comrades fall because of this." </british accent></blockquote>
